Release Notes:
French rapper Oxmo Puccino drew on the street-smart American hip-hop of the
Notorious B.I.G. and other icons to document life in Paris' hardscrabble 19th
district. Born Abdoulaye Diarra in Mali in 1974, he arrived in Paris at age five
as part of a family that included younger brother Mamoutou Diarra, later a
professional basketball player of some international renown. A longtime hip-hop
fan, at age 21 Diarra began his collaboration with the fledgling rap collective
Time Bomb, honing his craft alongside future superstars like Booba and Diam's.
He quickly developed into a lyricist with a metaphorical ingenuity far more
advanced than his contemporaries, crafting violent yet strangely poetic
portraits of urban Paris life. In 1996 Oxmo Puccino made his recorded debut with
"Pucc. Fiction," a contribution to the compilation L432. A series of subsequent
mixtape appearances solidified his growing reputation within the French rap
underground, and in 1998 he issued his solo debut, OpΘra Puccino. Its 2001
follow-up, L'Amour Est Mort, proved Puccino's creative and commercial
breakthrough, while 2004's Le Cactus de SibΘrie confirmed his superstar status.
After signing to the venerable jazz label Blue Note, Puccino assembled a new
backing group, the Jazzbastards, to record 2006's Lipopette Bar.
