Another appearance in the top area of the French singles chart by rap collective Sexion D'Assaut, with the song Ma Direction.It's another track from their album l'Apogée, released earlier this year and already a double platinum seller and number one album in France.
The previous track Avant qu'elle parte made the top five in France and number one in Belgium, a song dedicated to their mothers perhaps appealing as it did to an audience that would normally be outwith the regular hip hop scene.
The band with their huge number of personnel, sub groups and collaborations are a major force in French rap, and while the releases under the Sexion D'Assaut name attract huge attention and sales, the members off the band maintain an active presence across France's hip hop scene.
Probably the closest equivalent would be an act like the Wu Tang Clan, a band whose influence spread across the entire hip hop scene on account of not only the number of members but also their continuous work outwith the 'mother ship'
