Nothing truly predestined Frédéric Inthavisay, aka 2Fresh, for the musical career he has today. No musician parents, no academic training—his entry into music came through the collective. He picked up the guitar with his first punk band, formed during middle school, viewing it as a tool for political expression. It was the 1980s in Ivry-sur-Seine, a stronghold of social activism at the time. This social commitment connected him with other Ivry-based artists like Merlot, who composed the track *Hallelujha* on this album. Ivry is a melting pot of cultures that offered suburban kids the richness of exchange—and what better way to learn sharing than through music? This album is a musical family snapshot from the '80s–'90s, blending all styles (hip hop, reggae, funk…), all backgrounds, and all religions. A time that may feel far away today, but one we still enjoy listening to. It all began in this southern suburb, where 2Fresh built his musical family—his friends, his “brothers and sisters,” as Sydney, the iconic host of the show *H.I.P. H.O.P.*, would say. Sydney lends his groove to the tracks *2Fresh Familly* and *Walkin’ in the Night*. Malka Familly, KGB, and singer-bassist Guillaume Farley also crossed paths with 2Fresh and joined him on the tracks *Ta dose de Malka*, *Ghetto Youth*, and *La surface*. 2Fresh’s musical journey coincides with the birth of hip hop and the digital revolution of the '80s–'90s. Musicians were gradually replaced by early samplers, and DJ-producers began to rise. 2Fresh became a DJ alongside Dee Nasty, who features on the track *Ghetto Youth*, dedicated to the label created by his mentor Rud Lion. With EJM, Abuz, Doc Shadow, and Little P, we get the chance to reconnect with pioneers of French hip hop on tracks like *94 Une couleur, un chiffre* and *Dans mon salon*. 2Fresh played in iconic French music groups of the '80s/'90s, such as Mad In Paris and Tonton David. This journey is told with emotion by Driss and Kiro on the track *Toujours présents*, and with high energy by Mad In Paris on *Gogo*. The album 2Fresh Familly is a true gem, a collector’s item for the old school heads and the young timers alike.
