For French, it doesn’t run in the family

Now this is the coolest thing I’ve read all day. Thanks to Drowned in Sound, we have been alerted of Pierre Sarkozy, one of the newest talents/producers in the music world. Oh, did we mention he is the son of France’s president?

According to a number of media reports, Mr. Sarkozy’s 23-year-old son Pierre has been quietly producing and writing music for several rappers who strongly oppose the president and have openly declared their hatred of him. One of those artists, a minor rapper using the stage name Poison, took part in an anti-Sarkozy video last year with other rappers, in which he boasted: “Anti-Sarko, anti-right, Nicolas don’t you hear. We’re anti-you.”

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, we have found “DJ Mosey”…oops, I mean Pierre’s myspace. Want to listen to Poison? You can do so here. He also has worked with American rapper David Banner. More on AllHipHop.com.
