Early Success
Since their first appearance on the compilation discography Ghetto Youth Progresss in 1994, four members of Expression Direkt have continued to talk.

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 girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be “a hand, not a mouth”; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
