Old School Rap Francais
Upcoming La Caution Tour
La Caution is a French hip hop duo consisting of Hi-Tekk and Nikkfurie, both of Moroccan descent. They are notable for creating the song "Thé à la Menthe" which is known for appearing (in instrumental form) in the 2004 American film Ocean's Twelve. The phrase "thé à la menthe" is French for "mint tea". La Caution's first single "Les rues électriques" ("electric streets") was released in 1999. They began to gain recognition participating in Assassin concerts. As a result, they secured the opening slot on the band's tour in 2000 and 2001; this enabled them to reach an increasingly larger audience. Encouraged by the success of "Les rues électriques", La Caution, shouldered by DJ Fab, released their first album Asphalte Hurlante ("Screaming Asphalt") in 2001. A year later, a version including seven new unreleased titles was released. Participating in many projects with other hip-hop groups, they released the Cadavre Exquis ("Exquisite Corpse") album in 2002, with the collective L'Armée des Douze (French for "Army of Twelve", a collective made up of La Caution and TTC, started in 1999). They also released the Crash Test EP with the electronic group Château Flight.
