La Caution is definitely matchless. Armed with an obviously unique musical identity, the two brothers Hi-Tekk & Nikkfurie, from Noisy-Le-Sec (in Paris suburbs), made a name for themselves on the French hip-hop scene by relentlessly touring and taking part in numerous projects since 1996. Their ground-breaking first LP, Asphalte Hurlante, released in 2001, is one of French hip-hop’s classics.
La Caution’s MCs share their very own vision of prose and harmony. Their lyrics, willing to be urban allegories, have appealed to listeners who fancy sharp and powerful writing. As for the beats, Nikkfurie is known for his everlasting fondness for novelty.
It’s no surprise that at the end of 2004, the instrumental version of The a la Menthe, a tune from their second album yet to come, made its way to Ocean’s 12 soundtrack, Soderbergh’s blockbuster. La Caution’s ties with the movies industry were then tightened with their collaboration to Kim Chapiron’s first movie, Sheitan, starring Vincent Cassel, on theaters since February 1st 2006.
Hi-Tekk & Nikkfurie’s eagerly awaited second album, Peines de Maures / Arc-en-ciel pour Daltoniens was finally out on October 17th 2006. And they immediately proved their new opus was worth the wait: a double-album with no less than 31 tracks. Every tune sounds like a thorough depiction. Words seem to flow endlessly, emphasized by beats that fit them smoothly, sounding sometimes light-hearted and energetic, sometimes dark and moody, but always bouncy and intense. Once the listener discovers the luxury of the technical gifts of the 2 MCs and the depth and endless variety of beats, the so-called language barrier doesn't matter any more and the quality of the music speaks for itself.
La Caution + TTC + Saphir = L'Armee des 12
