ASM is the story of a friendship born in college, in Germany, between three boys who are fans of graffiti and black music.
Gourmands and gourmets, today they combine their love of rap, gastronomy and natural wines on
Origin & Juice
.
Portrait of a group that intends to show that hip hop can be fun, artistically ambitious and intelligent.

It was in the Belleville district, in the north of Paris, that the international hip hop collective
ASM
(A State Of Mind) shot the clip for
Wednesday
in 2016 .
It is in this same neighborhood that I found the MCs Green T and FP (Funk.E Poet) as well as their
beatmaker
, Rhino, to draw their portrait!
ASM is the story of a friendship born between three graffiti-loving boys who immediately knit strong links with black music, whether it's funk, reggae or rap, version A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul.
ASM is three albums, numerous collaborations (with Wax Tailor or Chinese Man) and, above all, a fierce desire to prove that hip hop can be fun, artistically ambitious and intelligent.
The result: sometimes epic, often lyrical and almost always organic boom bap rap.
Their latest project
Origin & Juice
combines their love of music, gastronomy and natural wine.
A mix that suits me perfectly and which explains why the group gave me an appointment at the Cave de Belleville…
A conversation in complete privacy and in 3D audio (spatialized sound).
A podcast to listen to, preferably, with headphones.
