ASSASSIN

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

Assassin was the first French rap group to earn a Gold record entirely independently, producing and distributing its music through its own label, Assassin Productions. The group quickly became a benchmark and a major influence within hip-hop culture, both in France and internationally. With over one million albums sold and numerous tracks that have become cult classics, Assassin has shaped and inspired several generations of artists.

In 2026, the group makes a powerful comeback with a new album and a tour, staying true to its militant spirit, creative vision, and uncompromising artistic standards. The odyssey continues — and nothing can stop it.
