Loco Locass is tagged as: hip-hop, quebec, quebecois, rap, francophone Loco Locass, founded en 1995, is a Quebec City rap group. In Quebec the group is known especially for its enthusiastic defence of the role of the French language and for its political championing of Quebec sovereignty. The group was formed by Batlam, Biz, and Chafiik, three French language enthusiasts who integrated poetic and activist lyrics with rap beats and music. Their rhymes deal most with promoting Quebec sovereignty, but they also address politics generally, the role of French in Canada, alternative globalization movements, the struggle against social exclusion and, to a certain extent, openness to ethnic others, as well as more personal messages. Loco Locass prioritizes opportunities to deliver their views to the public, and those who are fans appreciate what they see as an ability to say out loud what they feel political correctness usually consigns to silence. The group’s enthusiasm for and mastery of the French language results in the incorporation of voice, sound, and grammatical word play.... Read More About Loco Locass Biography...
