Details: Amazon.ca After two albums with the group IAM, rapper Akhenaton delivers a rich and introspective solo album in 1995. Recorded in Naples, where the family of Philippe Fragione (his real name) is from, and mixed in Capri, Métèque et Mat is an essentially autobiographical work, which emphasizes Italian ancestry (from the South) and the spiritual filiation of the Marseilles artist. Based on his religious beliefs (Akhenaton is converted to Islam) and on a culture superior to the average of his peers, the leader of IAM splits mystical titles, like "Prometheus", but does not forget any of them. to keep your feet on the ground. The racism of his compatriots (FN and Lombard League in particular), the American lure and the incompetence of certain officials are thus defended in a mixture of anger and humor. But it is the tonic single "Bad boys de Marseille" (with the Fonky Family) that will make this very personal record a public success. --José Guerreiro Product Description Akhenaten
