"This CD is a must for anyone interested in dipping their toes into the progrssive world of French hip hop. "Le Flow" actually gets better song by song and is complete with helpful liner notes which detail each performer and cronicles the explosion of French hip hop and reggae since the early eighties. My favorites are track 9 "Bad boys de Marseille" (Part 2), about a beloved local football team and track 15 "Raggasonic Crew" by Raggasonic. "Le Flow" should be in every world music listeners collection whether serious or novice. This CD is a prime example of how an immigrant culture stamped it's identity on the host country's music scene and revitalized French music by saving it from itself."
