FP CREW // EXPOSÉ
[Reportage réalisé 25.09.04]

Fame and Prosperity. C'est ce que signifie le f et le p dans FP Crew et c'est justement ce que Frenchi Blanco, Big Shah, PhD et Ebonics visent en mettant sur pied des projets de grande envergure. Ils commencent en force avec Olympic Rap : The Unauthorized FP Crew Mixtape, un mixtape distribué gratuitement dans plusieurs boutiques au Québec. Suivra " Exposé " le premier album du collectif. Après déjà plus de 10 ans au sein de la scène hip hop Montréalaise, les gars du FP Crew veulent maintenant faire leur place…dans vos lecteurs CD! Voici donc un petit résumé de notre entretien.

Qu'est-ce qui fait la différence entre vous et les autres crews montréalais?

(PhD)-La différence c'est qu'on essaie de frapper tous les angles, que ce soit la promotion, le marketing, la musique, le gear, les événements ou le website on essaie vraiment d'être deux levels au-dessus de la compétition. Tout ce qu'on fait c'est de la qualité. Les shows, le mixtape et les événements qu'on organise comme le Jump Off.


Pour vous la France et les États-Unis, est-ce que c'est une option?

(Big Shah)L'Amérique oublie ça, c'est pas possible. Même si on était extraordinaire on n'aurait jamais la chance de percer là bas. Concernant la France, on connaît pas le marché. Je connais le marché européen en général. Comme l'Allemagne, la Belgique, la Suisse ça pourrait marcher. Peut-être l'Angleterre aussi. Mais le Japon, la Chine…l'Asie ça pourrait sûrement être bon.


Et le reste du Canada?

(Big Shah)On est seulement 30 millions au Canada sur un des plus gros territoires du monde…Il pourrait y avoir des chances mais faut pas oublier que Jay-z est même pas capable de vendre 50 000 copies ici. So FP Crew bonne chance! La réalité c'est qu'on va pas vendre des millions d'albums.


Est-ce que c'est possible de gagner sa vie seulement avec le hip hop au Québec?

(Big Shah) C'est possible...mais ça prend de la constance. Ça prend aussi une bonne promotion, une bonne production, des bons studios. C'est possible d'aller gold ou platine au Canada, mais ça prend quelque chose de consistant.


Quelle est la meilleure chose qui pourrait arriver à la scène hip hop québécoise?

(Big Shah)Plus de monde comme nous qui mettent leur temps et leur énergie sur tous les aspects du package. C'est cool d'être un mc intelligent, c'est cool de donner de la bonne information mais t'as besoin de tous les aspects. Tout devrait être top notch.
(PhD)Aussi ce qui pourrait faire la différence ça serait une radio urbaine. 24h sur 24h 7 jours sur 7 hip hop, reggae, soul pour développer une communauté. Partout ailleurs, y'a toujours une radio urbaine. Pourquoi nous on est limité??


Est-ce qu'il y a un groupe ou un label dont vous vous inspirez pour votre style de marketing?

(PhD) Y'a Roc-A-Fella, G-Unit...Ils ont des artistes talentueux et ils arrêtent pas de drop du matériel. Des mixtapes, des albums, du gear des films. Ils diversifient et c'est comme ça qu'on peut faire de l'argent.


Qu'est ce que le FP Crew écoute quand ils sont ensemble?

(Frenchi Blanco) Tout le monde écoute du hip hop en général. Comme moi j'ai des phases. Des fois c'est des artistes locaux seulement. Ça dépend. On a tous le hip hop en nous donc peu importe ce qui est hip hop on va l'écouter.


Quel est le dernier album que vous avez écouté ensemble?

(Tout le monde ensemble) Notre mixtape no doubt!

L'album "Exposé" du FP Crew sera en magasin dès le 28 septembre. Le mixtape Olympic Rap est disponible gratuitement au Off The Hook, au Vibes et bientôt dans plusieurs magasins Freedom. Il est aussi disponible sur le FP MONDIAL

FP Crew
Exposé (FP International/ Fusion III)

Representing the reality of hip hop life in Montreal, FP Crew seems to realize the importance of both the French and English sides of the culture in this city, and the fact that they clearly co-exist. With MCs PHd., Ebonics and Big Shah rapping in English, the charismatic flows of the lone Frenchie Blanco are far from marginalized, bringing style and cohesion to the group. LP choice cuts include "Street Corner Freestyle" featuring Butta Beats, "Illest Analysis" and "Soundclash" with Face T. FP keep it tight, and have the skills to make a case, but many of the beats do not match their energy and insight. Checkez ça. 7.5/10 (Scott C)

FP Crew
« Fame and Prosperity »

Avec des rimes constructifs, intelligents et parfois même comiques, le groupe FP Crew fait figure de pionnier sur la scène montréalaise. Sortis tout droit de l’ouest de l’île, il est évident que les 4 membres du groupe sont maintenant mûrs pour prendre d’assaut le public québécois avec leur son authentique. Avec une expérience de plus de 10 ans, ils font partie de la génération des rappeurs d’ici qui ont vu la scène se développer au compte goutte au cours des dernières années. Ils croient cependant que le temps est venu pour le public de découvrir l’expérience FP Crew.

Bien plus qu’un groupe de mcs, FP Crew a des rêves et des désirs qui lui sont chers. Les membres du groupe vous diront à l’unisson qu’ils recherchent avant tout la satisfaction personnelle et le succès dans leur carrière. Influencé par les KRS One, N.W.A., Big Daddy Kane depuis leur jeune âge, on comprend un peu mieux pourquoi FP Crew est reconnu par plusieurs comme étant l’un des groupes les plus «tight» au Québec.

«Nous voulons faire de la musique avant tout, nous croyons que l’important est que ça soit bon», vous dira PhD.

Formé en 1998, FP Crew prépare méthodiquement la sortie de son premier album prévu pour le printemps 2004. Décrire le son et le style FP est une aventure en soi. De un, le groupe est bilingue. Il est composé d’un mc francophone (Frenchie Blanco) et de 3 mcs anglophones (PhD, Ebonics et Shah Saman a.k.a Big Shah). Secundo, bien qu’ils forment un groupe uni, il est intéressant de voir à quel point la personnalité et le style de tous et chacun est primordial à la chimie du groupe. C’est en entendant les titres Exposé, Des filles comme ça ou Millenium Jewelz qu’il devient évident que le groupe s’intéresse à plus qu’aux clichés quotidiens. D’ailleurs un de leurs buts premiers est de sortir le hip hop de la morosité qui l’entoure. Constamment à la recherche d’un son nouveau, FP Crew aime apporter une touche comique aux rimes employés.

Avec des liens dans toute la communauté hip hop du Québec, FP est un des rares groupes qui peut compter sur la collaboration de producteurs expérimentés pour leur premier album. De Ray Ray à Mr Vane en passant par S. Malone (Lap dance productions) ainsi que Dj Blast, la qualité de production de l’album semble déjà être assurée.

Bref, FP Crew semble bien en selle pour faire du bruit dans les prochains mois, surtout si l’on considère que les 4 membres du groupe ont également une compagnie, FP International, qui s’occupera du bon fonctionnement de tous les aspects entourant la sortie d’un album dans les prochains mois. De la production des vidéos jusqu’à l’infographie sans bavure effectuée par le 5ème membre de FP Int(VIZ a.k.a. Bronze).,
FP Crew se dirige vers l’accomplissement de leur rêve «Fame and Prosperity».

FP Crew finds balance in bilingualism
By Lesley R. Choules
Published: Wednesday, April 7, 2004 in The Concordian

The future is looking bright for Concordia graduate, Philippe Damas. With the upcoming spring release of Expose, his rap group's debut CD, Damas and the three other MCs that make up FP Crew, are getting ready to take Montreal's Hip-Hop scene to new heights.

Due to the influence of his older brother, Damas (a.k.a PhD) grew up listening to artists such as Run DMC, Salt 'N Peppa, The Fresh Prince, and Big Daddy Kane; but, it wasn't until high school (1992 to be exact), when he met Saman Kashizadeh (a.k.a. Big Shah), that his started in earnest. Together, they spent endless hours freestyling, songwriting, and developing their craft whenever they got the chance. Reginald Rosemond (a.k.a. Ebonics) and Dominique Chaput (a.k.a. Frenchi Blanco) joined the duo in 1995 and 1998 respectively, and from there FP Crew was born.

As proud born and bred Montrealers, FP Crew raps in English and French to reflect the city's unique cultural makeup.

Montreal's bilingualism has been particularly inspirational to Damas, who fuses the two languages to create his own distinctive sound. "There's a certain aspect of my style that I call 'a la française,'" says the 25-year-old. "I'll say a French word, but with an English accent. I do it to show my French/English, bilingual background."

While the blending of two languages definitely adds to the group's flavour, producing bilingual rap also has its drawbacks. "It's a niche market," says Damas.

In a province where language is always at the forefront of political debate, building a fan base and finding people to fund bilingual music can be a difficult task. "There's a lot of politics," he adds.

Another limitation upon the group's music is their commitment not to produce typical gangster rap.

"Thug rap isn't really a reality," Damas comments concerning the extravagance of today's mainstream rap and Hip-Hop, "music has to have a message."

However, that is not to say that FP Crew lacks in the entertainment department. Instead, they try to find a comfort zone between mainstream and grassroots Hip-Hop.

"We take day-to-day situations, and we glamorize and embellish them." They may be socially conscious but they can definitely still deliver.

Judging by FP Crew's impressive resume, it doesn't seem like their bilingualism or their anti-gangster approach has hurt them one bit.

In fact, they're regulars to Montreal's Hip-Hop community: they get airplay, make special radio appearances, put on live performances around the city, and have been featured on several local mix tapes and CDs.

Like all budding musicians, Damas dreams of international fame, but realizes that it may be an unattainable goal.

That's partially the reason why he decided to complete a university degree in marketing at the John Molson school of business.

"You need a plan B," he confides. "A lot of careers don't last...you need something to fall back on."

Growing-up while juggling school, a personal life, a part-time job, and trying to build a music career was sometimes overwhelming for Damas, but he always managed to find a balance.

"It was hard," he says, reflecting on his years at Concordia. "It's a matter of discipline and determination. You've really got to want it."

Date: July 7th 2004


Montreal, QC - HipHopCanada caught up with the FP Crew hailing from MTL's West Island "Wyland". As one of the country's biggest bilingual entities in hip-hop, the four man unit of PhD, Ebonics, Big Shah and Frenchie Blanco play a large role in breaking the language barrier still very present in our Canadian society. Read further for discussions on the Quebec seperatist movement, industry politics and FP's upcoming projects.

HHC: The FP Crew finally pays us a visit here at HipHopCanada. How are you guys doing now that the winter has passed and more specifically what went down on Canada Day?

PhD: We're feeling good right now, winter went by fast with all the back and forth trips to studio sessions, putting the final touches to the FP Crew album. We took it easy on Canada Day, we all spent time with close ones; then later hit downtown Montreal which was quite live and crowded with people acting crazy celebrating Greece's win in Euro 2004.

Ebonics: My god, crazy celebrations…But yeah, there's not much heat throughout the year. I'm glad the heat's arrived. Seems like the entire city transforms. It's time now to take a different angle on things… I didn't do much 'cause I was working on Canada Day.

Big Shah: Well I headed out to Capital City, to enjoy the fire works and the tons of people. Smoked it up for my country. (Laughing)

Frenchi Blanco: Yeah, I just took it easy, no stress.

HHC: Being in Quebec, you have a direct view that I don't get here from being in Toronto on the whole separatist movement. What's your stand on this and do you guys think that Quebec will ever achieve independence?

Frenchi Blanco: I think it could've worked out in the 60's or at any other time in the past. But now, sovereignty would just destroy the country.

PhD: Well, I definitely stand against Quebec gaining its sovereignty for many reasons. You got all these language issues between French and English people but overall the Montreal community is against Quebec's independence. Achieving independence? Based on the last referendum's results, I believe Quebec could become sovereign; but in no less than another 15-20 years from now. I also think a referendum would hurt many businesses if it were to happen.

Ebonics: I think this is an issue that has and will continue to be on Quebecers minds. With the growing numbers of immigrants in Quebec, I think it will be a while before this issue is resolved. I personally don't want Quebec to gain there independence.

HHC: Do you think the Canadian government makes a strong enough effort to break the language barriers that this country has? My personal feeling is that the current relations between English and French speaking Canadians in general are not where they could be. I think that bilingual groups such as FP help strengthen that connection.

Ebonics: Thanks. Well, for example, they've wasted so much time and money on things like "la loi 101". Bilingual groups like FP are just part of the growing mix of cultures and languages in the past decades in Quebec. I think groups like us, are living proof that the language barrier has already started to break.

Big Shah: I agree with that. But the Provincial & Federal governments are not the only ones to be blamed. In terms of the music biz, I blame these Quebec based companies who don't want to do anything if it doesn't concern Quebec. Like hip-hop; doesn't matter to them! That's why "Star Academy" is bigger then any rap phenomenon, ever. Not that the rest of the national media cares much about the hated province and it's music. Without media coverage there is no room for success. And in Quebec the media is not willing to help; especially not English artists. Our Musique Plus does a sorry ass job of covering the hip-hop scene and its development. And that's if they even mention it! Also we have no urban radio stations. The CRTC and all it's language red tape is crushing the building blocks for future Canadian talent.

HHC: All that being said, did you guys vote in the recent election?

Ebonics: Nah, I wasn't able to get out to do it.

PhD: Most of us did except for a few for religious and personal reasons.

Big Shah: Yup, yup!

Frenchi Blanco: Yeah I voted too.

HHC: Other then FP, who holds it down for the bilingual rap in the Montreal scene. Do you think the listeners outside of your region will be open minded enough to take a different language without potentially understanding the meaning behind some of the lyrics?

PhD: Many if not most Montreal French MC's use English words and expressions often in their lyrics like Sans Pression and 2Faces but there aren't many other official bilingual rap groups in Mtl. Still, rappers like Imposs, B.U, L'Queb and others do their thing on the bilingual tip. As far as outside listeners, I see it like this: Ghostface Killah has many tracks in which you don't really understand or know what he's talking about but he's so into his zone and his flow is so emotional that you get the gist of what he's saying. Basically, long as our flows and rhyme deliveries are fluid, appealing, charismatic and well articulated we believe people will easily appreciate our music.

Big Shah: Well they should! It happens all around the world with the Chinese, the French, and the German. They listen to Hip-Hop in any language! Hopefully, we as Canadians, English or French speaking, will learn to appreciate what we bring each other. Man, I'm in L.A all the time, and the fact is, almost everyone speaks Spanish. And if they don't, they can still get by. You don't hear them complain, they use it to their advantage, the fact they understand two languages. We in Canada, like dumb asses, hate each other and the French always want to be independent. You don't see the Terminator running a referendum Campaign. Man…

HHC: The four of you rep Montreal's West Island "Wyland" so there's an obvious connection, but how did the group really get together and get branded as FP? Was there any kind of rivalry at first since Frenchi repped for another crew?

Frenchi Blanco: Not really. When Shah and P and Ebs Hooked up I was still DJing. My DJ name was Diamond. I heard about them from doing parties and seeing them in talent shows and wanted to be a part of what they were doing. They inspired me to start rapping.

PhD: Frenchi and Big Shah have known each other since high school. They knew of Ebonics 'cause he attended the same high school, but nothing more. Me and Shah met in '92 at parties and on the basketball courts. We started hanging out, rhyming and free styling whenever and wherever we could. I met up with Ebonics in '95 in school ciphers and freestyle sessions. Then, me Shah and Ebonics formed a group called The Relics Squad and performed at many hip-hop showcases and contests. At the same time, Frenchi was part of another group, the Wylanders, and I performed and ripped mics with them a few times like in '97 when we opened for KRS-ONE and the Rascalz in Ottawa. Later on that year, the Wylanders split up and in '98 The Relics Squad and Frenchi hooked up to become FP Crew, FP standing for Fame & Prosperity, as we aimed to offer something different in being a bilingual group. We've been holding it down ever since… As you can see, there was never any rivalry between us, we've always been on some add-on and collabo shit.

Ebonics: Yeah, the connection was all natural, like it was destined to happen.

HHC: How did each of you individually get into music? Was it a specific record you heard or performance you saw? What was that precise element that penned your first rhyme?

Ebonics: Since a young age, I've been surrounded by music and hip-hop. I could say one of the first artists to influence me in a major way was Big Daddy Kane and his Scoob N' Scrap dancers. To me that was the ultimate hip-hop vibe. I wanted to be him. It all sounded and looked so smooth.

PhD: Music has always been part of me; it's like breathing to me. Also, playing the violin and other instruments as a kid helped me develop an ear for good music. I penned my first rhyme when I heard Black Moon's "Who Got the Props"; that track right there made me officially want to rap and flip scripts.

Big Shah: I was 15. I spent every summer in Richmond, Virginia since I was a kid. My older cousin and her home girls decided to take me to a concert in Baltimore. I saw BBD and a bunch other live acts. I had never seen a large urban act, the tour busses, the big stage set up. I was taken away. Thank the Lord my cousin is a hot looking female, we got invited to the private after party and this hotel. That shit was Crunk! I knew then that I had to be in this business I've never looked back since.

Frenchi: I always had a thing for soul music. My grandfather had a collection of blues (BB King, Chuck Berry). I got started on that Motown shit, meaningful shit. From there, it was a natural progression into hip-hop. But on the reals when I heard "Fuck the Police" by Public Enemy, it was over for me.

HHC: Tell us about the Wyland… What's the community's feel on hip-hop and have you noticed a development in the scene since the time when you first started rapping?

Frenchi Blanco: Not really. We still don't have good shows in the West, the crowds aren't there either. We don't have a home crowd to come see us at shows like some of the other crews in Mtl do.

PhD: Nowadays everyone dresses "hip hop" and listens to rap since it's the rock 'n' roll of our time, but a lot of those people couldn't stand rap music during the early '90s. Things changed drastically in '97 especially during the Puff Daddy shiny suit era. The Wyland community in general is not that supportive of local hip hop; not many of them come out to shows. Still, we're noticing more and more groups coming out the Wyland and presenting better sounding beats than a couple years ago.

HHC: What do each of you bring to the table as individuals?

Big Shah: Speaking for myself, I bring the biz angle. I'm a born talker and a thoroughbred hustler. Without a doubt.

PhD: For one, Frenchi being a Quebecer, Big Shah being Persian and me and Ebonics being of Haitian descent, we each bring our cultural backgrounds, experiences and beliefs to the group. Each of us has access to different networks and resources that we bring to the melting pot to help the FP machine move forward steadily.

HHC: FP has been doing a lot of shows and hitting the mixtape scene hard and you're finally getting ready to release your album debut, Expose. When is this going to drop and who's it coming through?

PhD: Yeah man, we've been working hard over the last 10 years. We're finally looking at a fall release through one of the major distributors in Canada. We're finalizing the paperwork and legal issues.

HHC: What kind of album is Expose going to be. Will it be an obvious group project with every emcee on every track or will you guys be switching it up at all with solo records and duets etc.

PhD: The album is very diversified with something unique for everyone, word up! You got your underground and street-oriented tracks, lyrical gems for those who appreciate food for thought. Then we got special treats for the ladies, reggae and Kompa fans, as well as more personal songs. The album will be a collage of quality solo and group tracks that will put listeners in different moods throughout the project.

Ebonics: Basically. A bit of everything, some solo tracks, some group tracks. Some just French, others just English. It'll be a mix guaranteeing diversity for the listeners.

HHC: Who can we see on the production tip and who will be featured alongside you four?

PhD: Production is coming from S. Malone of Lap Dance, Ray Ray of Les Architekts, Vane Flow of Skamm Goodiez Entertainment, One Man and DJ Blast who's been DMC champ like 3 times.

Big Shah: Oh yeah, and some of the featured artists include Face-T of Kulcha Connection, Five-Star, and A.Y.

HHC: PhD, you were recently featured on Madd Records' 24K "Quotable" release on the "Three Way Battle" record. How did this come about and has that record helped out with getting FP's name out?

PhD: Well, I've known 24K since '96 and we've performed several times together. She always felt my charisma and the energy I brought on stage. One day she called me up saying she wanted me as a Montreal MC to bless this battle track, so I went to her studio in NY and laced it with a verse and a hook. I can't say the record has really helped put FP's name out there, but it was a great learning experience 'cause I politicked with Evil D. and other members of the Beatminerz.

HHC: Who is the FP Crew feeling in Canada? Not feeling?

Frenchi: Lately I'm really on the Canadian tip. Brassmunk, Bishop, the whole Circle clique from Toronto. I used to hate on Toronto emcees, but now I'm feeling them.

Big Shah: Well on my end, I'm feelin' Kardi, Rochester, Bishop, Sauks, Jewelz Jones, Kuya, Ray Robinson, Glen Lewis, Butta Babes you know, the good stuff. Not a big fan of excessive cargo pants wearing hip hop groups… u know they wear back packs too.

PhD: I'm feeling cats like Saukrates, Kardinal Offishall, Brassmunk, Red One of the Rascalz, Jully Black and Melanie Durant. Cats like Rochester a.k.a. Juice, Bishop and Montreal's Butta Babees are also repping the Canadian scene.

Ebonics: Same here man. I'm definitely feeling Brassmunk, Kardinal Offishall, Saukrates, and Bishop on the hip hop tip. I'm also feeling Glen Lewis and Jully Black on the R&B tip.

HHC: What would you is the biggest thing you've learned about trying to build a career on rap music? If you could go back in time just briefly and speak to your younger version, what advice would give you yourself?

Ebonics: I would basically say, stay focused in everything you do and stay open minded to various things. It will only make you stronger.

PhD: Man, what I would give to go back…But I would say, you gotta stay head strong and believe in yourself and your dream, because you face a lot of adversities coming up in the game, especially as a Canadian artist. Keep writing and stay on your job!

Big Shah: I would say the same thing. Stay focused and use the power of NOW. Not later, do it now. Procrastination is what will hold back your career. Get up mo%^$er F@#$er!!!

HHC: Canada has many programs in place that are neighbors in the south couldn't imagine having available to them such as VideoFact and Factor. With or without the programs in place does a Canadian hip-hop artist have a chance to make serious long lasting successful noise the way Avril Lavigne or Celine Dion have?

Ebonics: Yes, but you have to learn to use the system to your advantage but not fully rely on it. Anything could happen. You must be ready and try to be a step ahead to break the barrier in this Canadian industry.

Frenchi Blanco: I think Canadian artists can only make it with those resources. If not, they'd never sell. American artists can go gold in one state due to the sheer size of their markets. We just don't have the market (in terms of the numbers of people) to sell without these resources. There is a certain degree of demand here, just not in great numbers.

PhD: Fuck breaking the Canadian barrier! To be really successful, a Canadian artist must hit the US market, that's where the money's at as well as real profitable opportunities. Avril Lavigne and Celine Dion wouldn't be as successful if it weren't for the U.S., regardless of how talented they are.

HHC: Do you guys have any aspirations outside of music?

Ebonics: Right now I'm into the technology industry; to me it's a big thing. The aspect of being ahead of time, seeing new developments, and the new generation of things plays a big part of me. I love technology, computers, gadgets, all of that.

Big Shah: In terms of the business (F.P International), we're way more than the music. The music is a key aspect, but I want to move quickly into urban market consulting, major event coordination and organization and media development via print and/or web.

PhD: Well, on a personal level, I like the domain of communications, like doing radio or TV. For example I'd love to host a real Hip Hop show for Montreal and Quebec artists.

Frenchi: I'd love to do acting or anything relating to the entertainment industry.

HHC: Is there anything we didn't touch on that you guys want to get into? Any shout-outs?

PhD: I want to shout out Montreal and its boroughs, all the real hip-hoppers all over Canada, the ones who haven't gotten on the bandwagon just a few years ago but know hip-hop's true roots and have followed it throughout its many eras. Keep quality hip-hop alive!

Ebonics: Yep! Shouts to all supporters and true fans of hip-hop.

Big Shah: I'd like to give a shout out to everyone making good music. You know, all the people raising Canada's hip hop standards; putting together the complete package with sound marketing and all of the rest of that good stuff. I hope to compete and work with the best.

Frenchi Blanco: I want to shout out the whole Montreal massive; North, South, the East and especially the West. Keep hip hop alive in Canada and especially in Montreal. Peace!
