Mellowman is a French hip hop act active during the 1990s, composed of two members, Lee Rick (Rapper) & DJ Cool (Producer). The band achieved moderate success in 1995 with its first single, then a bigger success with its second one in France : "Gardez l'écoute" (#46), and "La Voix du Mellow" (#13 in France and 16 weeks in the top 50, #17 in Belgium Wallonia).[1] In 1998, DJ Cool died in a car accident, leaving Lee Rick alone in the group. The rapper Ménélik paid a tribute to the DJ in his clip " Bye Bye " with a message at the end of the video: " to the memory of Jean-Luc Crimée (Cool DJ) ". The band also recorded a duet with SKO in 1999, entitled "Un Autre Jour", that featured as B-side on the hit single "Just Another Day", ranked in several charts at the time.[2] Among band's other songs, there were "Pyromellow" and "Respire".
