Paris: Break The Grip of Shame
This is a modern version of consciousness music- from Paris; this ‘think while groove’ tip is working, but not like the old stuff.
What lulled us into a complacent state of bull-ish; broke and pissed ? its’ time to stand up and do something about this lack of activism.
we gettin our heads whooped daily, by the creditors, lowclass employers and of course the Govern U Ment.
PARIS – Lights, Camera, Revolution
it’s time, Paris says. the time is Major – will you stand tall and strong; or become a victim. we’re the ones, ai’t no villains – Paris said it, we knew it.
Paris – What Would You Do ?

Guerillas in the Mist – Paris
This is a special dedication to all the suckas scavenging indie labels lately -
PARIS – Record Label Murder
“I got the whole f kin clip, and we bout to start some shiddd,”
This is from Guerilla Funk Records – Paris’ Label Site
Paris hails from the San Francisco Bay Area and was catapulted onto the national hip-hop scene in 1990 with his hit single and album The Devil Made Me Do It, after earning a degree in economics from the University of California at Davis. Originally released on Tommy Boy Records, his first single from that album, “Break The Grip of Shame,” was banned by MTV.
A blast from the past-This is a promotional “Yo! MTV Raps” trading card. Long ago when MTV actually supported conscious hip-hop
Since then his uncompromising stance on political issues and biting social commentary have both aided and hindered his quest to bring solid music and messages to the masses. When his second album, Sleeping With The Enemy was ready for release in 1992, Paris was dropped from now-defunct Tommy Boy Records and distributor Time Warner when they discovered its incendiary content – content which included fantasy revenge killings of then-President Bush and racist police officers. Rather than buckle under pressure, he released the LP himself on his newly-formed Scarface Records to major sales and national acclaim.
Paris signed a major artist and distribution deal with Priority Records for himself and Scarface Records in 1993 and released his third LP, Guerrilla Funk, and several then up-and-coming groups, most notably the Conscious Daughters. Paris and Priority formally severed their business relationship due to creative differences in 1995, and in 1997, Paris signed a one-off deal with now-defunct Whirling Records (distributed by Rykodisc), for the release of his 4th LP, Unleashed. Released in limited numbers, the LP went largely unnoticed due to lack of focus and funding.
In 2003, Paris returned with a vengeance, injecting a much needed dose of reality and consciousness into an industry which now seems to only reflect corporate hip-hop sensibilities. Sonic Jihad was released to strong sales and critical acclaim, with Paris emerging with his new label and website, Guerrilla Funk Recordings. Born out of necessity, it’s a musical organization that counters the corporate stranglehold of censorship currently plaguing the entertainment industry, providing a home for projects and material of such notable acts as Public Enemy, Kam, dead prez and The Conscious Daughters, among others. He also released deluxe remixed and remastered editions of his first three albums in ‘03.
Paris has never been one to shy away from controversy. In 2006, his Guerrilla Funk imprint released three projects, the first being Rebirth of a Nation, the long-awaited Paris-written and produced collaboration with Public Enemy. Receiving robust sales and critical acclaim, the album features dead prez, Kam, MC Ren, The Conscious Daughters and Immortal Technique.
He also released Paris Presents: Hard Truth Soldiers, Vol. 1, the first in a Paris-produced compilation series that is a collection of material that goes against the grain of commercial hip-pop by providing content of substance, touching on subjects ranging from war and police brutality to black on black crime and domestic violence. It showcases contributions from Public Enemy, The Coup, dead prez, Paris, T-KASH, Kam, The Conscious Daughters, Mystic, MC Ren, Sun Rise Above, and The S.T.O.P. Movement (Mobb Deep, Tray Deee, Soopafly, KRS-One, Defari, Daz, J-Ro, RBX, Bad Azz, WC, Dilated Peoples, Mac Minister, The Alchemist, Mack 10, Evidence, Defari, Everlast, and B-Real), among others.
Also in 2006, Paris introduced the world to former Coup-member T-K.A.S.H. and his stellar debut offering, Turf War Syndrome.
In 2007, Paris released the follow up companion piece to Rebirth of a Nation, the Public Enemy collaboration Remix of a Nation, and began laying the framework for the film division of Guerrilla Funk Recordings.
Paris inked a distribution deal with Fontana/Universal for Guerrilla Funk (with movies through Vivendi) in 2008, and is currently slated to release his newest album, Acid Reflex, on October 28, featuring Chuck D. and George Clinton.
With new music and film projects forthcoming, Guerrilla Funk is set to balance out an industry seemingly hell-bent on exploitation. For publicity information, please email here.
