ASSASSIN

Assassin is a legendary French hip-hop group founded in Paris in the mid-1980s, led by their charismatic frontman Rockin’ Squat, a major figure of conscious rap in France. A pioneer of mindful and independent hip-hop, the group made its mark from the very beginning with uncompromising speech, politically charged lyrics, and extraordinary artistic freedom.

Assassin is the first French rap group to achieve a gold record entirely independently by producing and distributing their music through their own label, Assassin Productions. The group thus became an essential benchmark and a major influence on the 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 makes its grand return with a new album and tour, staying true to its activist and creative DNA, as well as its high artistic standards. The Odyssey continues and nothing can stop it!
