Terror X Crew

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terror X Crew were a hip-hop band from Greece . They formed in 1992 in Athens with the line-up Artemi and Efthimi ( MCs ) and DJ AL-X (turntables, samplers & production) and are also active as graffiti writers .

After first appearances in 1993 and 1994, their first EP with 3 tracks was released in 1995 , with which they made their style as a hardcore rapper clear. They subsequently founded the AN-Club, for a long time the only home for hip-hop in Greece. On the album I Polis Ealo (Gr. Ή Πόλις εάλω) [ The city has been conquered ], which was released in 1997, they continued their style, but for the first time also included Greek musical elements in their music by sampling rebetica from the 1920s. In their texts they take a critical look at Greek society. In 1999 they opened for The Prodigy on a South East European tour ; apart from that, TXC have so far become little known internationally, apart from individual contributions to samplers.
