Release Notes:
Joeystarr, a member of the ever-growing ranks of European gangsta rap artists,
shares a common history with his U.S. hip-hop counterparts. Growing up hard, he
was thrown out of his family home in 1985 while still a youth, to live for more
than a year in the subways and catacombs around Paris. During that period, the
artist was introduced to a life of hard drugs and violence, but also came to
know his love of hip-hop. In 1989 he created a group called NTM with friend Kool
Shen. Even as NTM rose in popularity, Joeystarr was unable to cash his royalty
checks, as he lacked a mailing address. The group disbanded in 2000, each artist
going his own way, Joeystarr ending up on the B.O.S.S. label alongside artists
such as DJ Spank, Naughty J, DJ James, and Terror Seb. Between 1999 and 2004,
the artists of B.O.S.S. were featured on a weekly radio show called Jeudi Soir
de Sodomie (Thursday Evening of Sodomy). The label and its artists rose
significantly in popularity during that period, and Joey began producing several
other artists. Joey produced two records for the B.O.S.S. label in 2006,
including Iron Sy's I.R.O.N.Y. and Natty's Jump Up. In October of that year
Joeystarr also released his own solo debut record, Gare au Jagaurr, which hit
number three on French national charts.
