Paris

:(This page is about the Hip Hop artist. For the Japanese band of the same name, see Paris(2)).
Oscar Jackson Jr. (born October 29, 1967), better known by his stage name Paris, is an American rapper from San Francisco, California, known for his highly charged political and socially conscious lyrics. Influenced by the Black Panthers, he was once a member of the Nation of Islam. Paris became known in the US in 1990 with the hit single "The Devil Made Me Do It" and album of the same name, after earning a bachelor's degree in economics from UC Davis. Originally released on Tommy Boy Records, his first video was banned by MTV.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played Paris' material in the spring of 1990 and would continue play his tunes well into 1991. However, Peel got disillusioned with much of the American hip hop scene after the early 90's with much of it going into gangsta rap and misogynist lyrics and by the mid-90's, Paris' songs were rarely played by the DJ.
