Forgotten Treasure: Akhenaton “Entrer dans le légende” (2001)

Hip-Hop

Ok, this is the very definition of a Forgotten Treasure (check out the rest of the series here) because the first reflex you have when listening to this is “is this a new Akhenaton track?”, “did IAM release yet another sub-par record?”. Nopes. This is actually a verrry slept-on (including by me) track from his 2001 record called “Sol Invictus”.

In case you’ve never been exposed to french hip-hop – yes we know it’s not  easy to pull off – Akhenaton is a founding member of IAM, rap group from Marseille that was without a doubt the most influencial french hip-hop act ever.
