French hip-hop pioneer Dee Nasty (born Daniel Bigeault) brought the US street sounds of breakdancing and funk chants back to Paris in 1978, helping establish France's first self-produced hip-hop album two years later. From organizing "free jams" in Parisian lots to opening for Afrika Bambaataa, this former street-sell pioneer has spun his way through three decades of French electronic music, scratching his way to three consecutive French DMC championships and remixing everyone from Beastie Boys to Public Enemy along the way.
