Background notes
Archive material and source history
Akhenaton formed in Marseille in 1987, led by frontman Mohamed Belkhir, who performs as Shurik'n. Their debut album "Météque et mat" came out in 1995, mixing hip-hop and funk with lyrics that touched on social and political themes. They later moved toward rock on records like "Je suis africain" and "Solitude."
In 1995, the band faced accusations of anti-Semitism over a song's lyrics, which they denied. A few years later, Shurik'n served a prison sentence for drug possession. These incidents drew attention but didn't stop their output; they kept recording into the 2000s with albums such as "Soldat de plomb."
Their song "Hangin By a Thread" reflects the tense, introspective mood that runs through much of their work. The group's core included Shurik'n on vocals and lyrics, DJ Kheops on production, and Freeman on guitar and backing vocals.
