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:
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“I feel that you will not only be the making of my happiness, but also of my fortunes or success in life. The truth is I never did half try to be anything, or do anything. There was no motive ... and so I have lived, not an idle, but a useless sort of life. Hereafter I hope all that will be quite changed.... I shall have purpose and steadiness to keep ever doing, looking to your happiness and approval as my best reward.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
