 Their musical style is predominantly hardcore rap, although later albums include funk, soul and reggae influences.The group is outspokenly critical of racism and class inequality in French society, and while their earlier music is violent, some of their later work, such as ""Pose ton Gun"" ("Put down your Gun"), is explicitly anti-violent.In 1998, the group released its last album of original material under the NTM moniker, as both Joey Starr and Kool Shen started their own labels, promoting new bands and branching out in other fields such as the clothing industry (2High is Kool Shen's brand, Com-8 is Joey Starr's).
