LES PETITS CHEF - PM . CD

"Les Petits Chefs" was the debut album by PM, a hip hop collective from the suburbs of Paris, based around toaster & producer Little J (originally from the Reunion Island) and rapper Fresh Ali (who was born in Kabylia, the traditionally rebellious mountain region of Algeria).

After appearing at several major events such as Transmusicales de Rennes, the Attitude Festival in Montpellier, Stop La Violence, and opening for MC Solaar and others, PM released a couple of 12", the second of which quickly became an underground hit of sorts, thanks to a track entitled... "Les Petits Chefs" ("the small-time bosses"), to its infectious chorus and its sharp social satire (the song is about petty chiefs, frustrated bosses, hierarchy-obsessed characters we're all confronted with in everyday life). Not that there was any lack of satirical content in the B-side of that single ("D.A. Bah!"), which mercilessly derided the idiotic, well-dressed, half-deaf morons which can be found in the A&R departments of certain large record companies....
