Originally from France, Crown is a beatmaker of the Hiphop scene.
Active since 1997, he started out as a DJ and appeared as a scratch artist on numerous mixtapes and albums until he started producing in 2003.
His meeting with the Belgian rapper Scylla will lead him to sign his first collaborations which will not pass unnoticed like the famous clash MC vs Beatmaker or the titles " SCY ", " BX-VIBES "...
Crown met Saké from Les Zakariens in 2005 through Templar from Ulteam Atom.
This was to be followed by many years of collaborations as a duo, including the tracks "On Veut Du Rap" and "Le Maximum". Half of Saké's discography will be produced by Crown.
The associative label Just Listen Records will be created in 2007.
2010 will be the year of the release of his first beatmaker opus "Just Listen", a project initially started with his early partner DJ Nefast with whom he had released "Sang9" in 2002.
The same year he founded the beatmaker's collective "Grim Reaperz" with whom he co-produced many ep's in vinyl format.
His second opus of producer "Pieces To The Puzzle" will be released in 2014 with many international collaborations such as PMD, Masta Ace, Paloalto, SonReal, Scylla, Akhenaton, Flynt....
The following year, with his sound engineer SoundSizer, Crown opened an associative recording studio under the banners of the label Just Listen Records in Montélimar.
The goal was to record, accompany and develop young artists from the Drôme/Ardèche region. A pro studio accessible to all.
From 2015 to 2018 many collaborations will be born.
Saké and Crown will be working on the reworking of the album " pièces d'orfevre " at Just Listen Records, with a release in 2020 which will see him producing half of the album as well as directing and co-executive producing the project.
2021 Crown produced the album "Untilted" for Rhyme-A - a far from underground artist from South Korea.
After the pandemic, "Underground Crown" will be the album of connections, a project with over 60 American artists mainly from NEW YORK.
2023 will be the year of the French rap releases, with a brand new project "Game Of Crown" gathering many French-speaking artists.
An ep with the young promising MC CHOLO and the close collaboration with Templar from Ulteam Atom will sound like a proof that Crown is in great shape after 20 years of production!
