Influenced by both the Jamaican dancehall scene and the G-funk sounds of
Dr. Dre,
Premiere Consultation is the inventive debut album from Guadeloupean-born French MC
Doc Gyneco. Produced by
Ken Kessie, the 1996 release includes the controversial suicide-themes track "Nirvana," the football song "Pas sement de Jambes," a duet with French Congolese rapper
Passi ("Est-Ce Que Ca le Fait"), and a cover of Motown classic "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," alongside the singles "Viens Voir le Docteur," "Dans Ma Rue," and "Ne Ici." ~ Jon O'Brien
