6. Big Red – Autour de Paris (1994)
ghetto-youth-progress

This track, from the Ghetto Youth Progress compilation produced by Rud Lion, has a G-funk vibe and the recognizable flow of Raggasonic’s Big Red. Rud Lion did a lot for French raggamuffin and rap, introducing a lot of funk influences ( the Expression Direkt’s “78” is still one of my favorite rap tracks ever). As always with the true kings, he left this world way too soon. Rud Lion, rest in peace.
