Early Success
Since their first appearance on the compilation discography Ghetto Youth Progresss in 1994, four members of Expression Direkt have continued to talk. Known for its sincerity and radicalism, which earned them a reputation as 'scum', Express D imposes itself as a leading group with their first title "Mon esprit part en couille", one of the first songs authentically 'scum-like' the history of French rap, and which today is a classic. This title appealed to Mathieu Kassovitz, who integrated their music to the film 'La Haine'. For the compilation inspired by the film they signed "Dealer pour survivre" another classic. They assisted the director in the promotional tour of the film festival of Cannes and television sets (Nulle Part Ailleurs, Le Cercle de minuit...).

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or success:
“The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Success is somebody else’s failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
