Description
Assassin is a legendary French hip-hop group, founded in Paris in the mid-1980s and led by its charismatic frontman Rockin’ Squat, a leading figure in socially conscious rap in France.
A pioneer of socially conscious and free-spirited hip-hop, the group made its mark right from the start with uncompromising lyrics, socially engaged songs and extraordinary artistic freedom.
Assassin was the first French rap group to achieve a gold disc entirely independently, producing and distributing their music via their own label, Assassin Productions. The group thus became an essential reference point and a major influence on this culture both in France and internationally. With over a million albums sold and tracks that have achieved cult status, Assassin has influenced several generations of artists.
In 2026, the group marked its grand return with a new album and a tour, remaining true to its activist and creative DNA and its high artistic standards. The Odyssey continues, and nothing can stop it!
