The hard-hitting, frequently polemical French hip-hop group Suprême NTM was formed in 1989 by Dee Nasty, Joey Starr, and Kool Shen with their DJ, Détonateur S. They debuted one year later with a track on the compilation Rapattitude and their first single, "Le Monde de Demain." Authentik, the Supreme NTM debut full-length, appeared in 1991, and the group made their American live debut later that year. The album was followed two years later by 1993... J'appuis Sur la Gâchette, which brought them to the attention of the French gendarmes with a song named "Police." The group's third album, 1995's Paris Sous Les Bombes, became their most successful, but also earned them a fresh bout of controversy. The song "Plus Jamais Ça" was an anti-Front National (the fascist/anti-immigrant movement led by Le Pen) broadside that got Supreme NTM six-month prison sentences for playing it at a concert in St. Cyr s/Mer in southern France organised by SOS Racisme:“Toulon, c’est nous aussi !” (Toulon, that's us too!") Toulon, a city close by, had a just-elected a Front National mayor. Suprême NTM followed in 1998, eclipsing its predecessor in sales and earning raves for its inclusion of a new generation of French rappers.
