The Ministère AMER (Action, Musique Et Rap) is a French hip hop group from Sarcelles, consisting of the rappers Passi and Stomy Bugsy (both of whom are also major solo artists in the French hip hop scene), DJ Ghetch, and the producer/manager Kenzy.
The group is also associated with other major French hip hop artists such as Doc Gyneco and Hamed Daye.
In 1995, after their song Sacrifice de poulet, which appeared on the disc La Haine inspired by the film of the same name, provoked the French Minister of the Interior, Charles Pasqua, to attack the group in court.
The court's ruling forced the group to pay 250,000 francs of fines, but Mr Pasqua's demands for banning sales of Ministère AMER's discs were unsuccessful.
After the success these albums enjoyed, Kenzy created the record label Secteur Ä to accommodate Ministère AMER and other hip hop artists, such as Nèg' Marrons, Ärsenik, Doc Gynéco, Hamed Daye, and Tandem.
