Much like its forerunners did for the Bronx,  L.A.,
Paris and Marseilles, Muzion put Montreal on the global hip-hop
map.
The release of Mentalité Moune Morne and its
message to the world were certainly no accident–they represented
the culmination of an artistic process that saw Impossible,
J. Kyll, Dramatik and LD-One carry the
Montreal hip-hop scene out into the light. A witness to the crossover
of US rap into the mainstream and the emergence of its French-language
cousin, Muzion watched Quebec rappers try their hand, gradually
filling the pages of its songbook, then demonstrating a critical,
lucid vision brilliantly expressed in 1999 with its debut album, Mentalité
Moune Morne–a skilful assemblage of music and lyrics
reflecting the group’s first three years. The album showed clear
vision and conscious spirit expressed through incisive lyrics over
inspired beats . And although "Rien à perdre"
("Nothing to lose") was a first cry in the form of a warning,
it turned out Muzion actually had everything to gain. more
