Section Est

XIII Bis Records compiles the Paris underground hip-hop scene circa 2000s with CMP Familia and ATK anchoring nearly every track—a testament to their prolific output and central role in the label’s roster. These collabs layer boom-bap production with French street vernacular, grounded in samples and breakbeats that recall the era’s golden age of French hip-hop. The compilation functions less as a survey and more as a deep dive into a specific crew’s interconnected world.
