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 success, early and/or success:
“We are living now, not in the delicious intoxication induced by the early successes of science, but in a rather grisly morning-after, when it has become apparent that what triumphant science has done hitherto is to improve the means for achieving unimproved or actually deteriorated ends.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
