Joeystarr - Egomaniac [LP]

Joeystarr is the co-founder of the famous French rap duo Suprême NTM. Originally starting out as breakdancers and graffiti writers, the duo is known for representing the perspective of minorities residing in the underprivileged neighbourhoods of Paris and beyond through dark, gritty, politically-conscious lyrics. Despite achieving record sales with their four albums, they split in 1998. After a few detours away from the music business, in 2006 Joeystarr dropped his first solo album. Egomaniac, released in 2011, is his second album and includes some high-profile collaborations; on "Mamy..." he works together with Nicoletta on a rework of her 1971 hit single "Mamy Blue" and the interlude "Appel A La Resistance" features a speech by leading left-wing politician Olivier Besancenot. After it's initial release, the vinyl edition went out of print so we're happy we can finally make it available again. Egomaniac is available as 15th anniversary edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on orange colored vinyl and includes an 8-page booklet.
