JATOBA is a duo composed of singer Lanoir and beatmaker A Cat Called FRITZ.
Two complementary artists who summon an incantatory universe. A vaporous alchemy between the deep voice of Lanoir and the "tamed" beats of ACCF tinged with blues with trip hop / hip hop influences.

JATOBA (Lanoir & A Cat Called Fritz) - I Follow (single Edit)

Coffeebreak, more than just a record label, is an artist collective of producers, DJs, MCs and musicians collaborating under their own management in different studios to produce, explore and experiment. The idea of putting everyone’s technical means and skills together, logically led to the creation of our own structure allowing us to release our music and to promote our work. We are independent and autonomous, involved in every technical and artistic aspect and implicated in each step of the process, from the creation and production to the sound mixing and mastering, 
as well as the graphic design… 

We are united and one. We are a family and a school.

Flashback. At the turn of the first decade of 2000, a stray cat from the Parisian suburbs named Fritz came to skin the bling bling of the time by imposing his claw on the scene of international indie rap. With Slow Down and On & On a series of EPs on 7’ in an ultra-efficient jazzy manifesto, the beatmaker earned his stripes with class and insolence. Since then, the path of the Paris’ tom cat is built over his experiences and meetings, including the album Beats Per Minute in duet with rapper Audessey (Soundsci), released on the prestigious American label Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). One will not need more to register the legend of ACCF on the pantheon of the most talented French producers of international underground Hip Hop and confirm the adage that cats control the world.
In 2015, Fritz decides to condense his night wanderings in his first album Tribulations & Life of, an album anchored in his time, made in the moment and with instinct. A few years later, crowned by a signature at the legendary German label HHV, Fritz continues to drag his feline silhouette to the four corners of the globe. So that listening to his latest album Vertical Iris gives the pleasant sensation of moving forward Stealthily in known terrain as on a new land to clear.
Addictive samples, raw and rough tones nuanced from the blue notes of the 90’s rap punctuated by cinematographic atmospheres, the same flawless recipe applied since its beginnings, is here reinforced by a slew of hand-picked featurings such as Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce / US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK) ...


Flashback. Au détour de la première décennie 2000, un chat de gouttière de la banlieue parisienne nommé Fritz venait écorcher le bling bling de l’époque en imposant sa griffe sur la scène du rap indé international. Avec "Slow Down" et "On & On" une série de EP 45 tours inscrits dans un manifeste jazzy ultra efficace, le beatmaker gagnait ses galons avec classe et insolence. Depuis, le chemin du matou parisien se construit au fil de ses expériences et rencontres, notamment l’album Beats Per Minute en duo avec le rapper Audessey (Soundsci), sorti sur le prestigieux label américain Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). Il n’en faudra pas plus pour inscrire la légende de A Cat Called Fritz au panthéon des producteurs français les plus talentueux du Hip Hop underground international et confirmer l’adage qui veut que les chats contrôlent le monde.
En 2015 Fritz décide de condenser ses errances nocturnes dans son premier album Tribulations & Life of, un album ancré dans son époque, fait dans l’instant et avec instinct. Quelques années plus tard, auréolé d’une signature chez le mythique label allemand HHV, Fritz continue de trainer sa silhouette féline aux quatre coins du globe. Si bien que l’écoute de son dernier opus Vertical Iris donne l’agréable sensation d’avancer à pas de velours en terrain connu comme sur une terre nouvelle à défricher. Samples addictifs, sonorités brutes et rugueuses nuancées des notes bleues propres au rap des 90’s ponctués d’atmosphères cinématographiques, la même recette sans faille appliquée depuis ses débuts se trouve ici renforcée par une flopée de featurings triés sur le volet tels que Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce/US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK)...
