le hip hop

Who likes french rap ?
not me...
but, sometimes, you gotta stay open, and that's how you discover fresh sounds !

a few time ago, i saw this, ans it was kinda funny :



Then i saw this :



so i searched, and discovered Hocus Pocus !
He (actually it's a band) is an MC from Nantes (Bretagne, FR), he's smart, he's funny, his visual style is very nice and he has a lot of influences (jazz, funk, soul, ...).
so, here are some tracks to discover this fresh kind of hip hop.
(it's better if you speak french, 'cause the lyrics are quite good)

He's also a rapper, but more politicaly engaged. 
His album, Gibraltar, has been well received, and won a lot of prices.
