- Negrissim'
-
Negrissim' is a hip hop crew from Cameroon based in Dakar, Senegal. It all began in 1995 in Yaoundé where the young rapper SADRAK from Douala encountered the Sassene bro's - EVINDI and SUNDJAH. NEGRISSIM' was formed and started spreading their message, their hip hop from the bush, across the globe. Based in Dakar - Sénégal since 2002, (after 2 years on the African roads), but with roots in both Cameroon and France. Their lyrics reflect both joys and struggles in the world of today - especially regarding the clash between rural and urban life and of Dakar; the melting pot of Africa. The three KAMEROUNEGRES have teamed up with Dj MAX from France and previous collaborations include MC's like BOUDOR and KWALO'O - both from Cameroon.
