Having chosen their name well, this tight-knit French hip-hop collective prioritizes the groove. Even when broaching difficult themes like social inequality, the focus is on keeping heads bobbing and bodies moving. Arriving in the mid-'90s on the heels of fellow Marseille rap heroes IAM, the group made an immediate splash. Led by a fierce foursome of MCs, Fonky Family's mix of intelligence and effervescence hits on all fronts.
