description About

Sear, whose real name is Stéphane Begoc, born in 1968 to a Kabyle father and a Yugoslav mother, is a French journalist, director and hip-hop activist, originally from Franc-Moisin (93). Close to the IZB crew at the end of the 1980s, he was the editor-in-chief of the hip-hop paper fanzine "Get Busy" published between 1990 and 1993. Visionary, courageous and often against the grain, "Get Busy" has a common thread: his tone. Free, insolent, arrogant, terribly funny and cynical, always concerned about its independence, the magazine will take on different forms of media, paper, video, podcast... In parallel with the "Get Busy" adventure, Sear is recruited by the management of the group Suprême NTM as part of the release of their latest eponymous album "Suprême NTM". To support the release of this album, Sear will take care of the free magazine "Authentik", borrowing the name of the group's first studio album and published in 100,000 copies per issue, then the documentary "Authentiques", co-directed with Alain Chabat and released directly on DVD in 2000. "Get Busy" reappeared in the early 2000s under a new formula mixing hip-hop and social issues. The magazine's activity stopped after 7 issues in 2002. On April 5, 2014, he published a book entitled "Interdit Aux Bâtards", a compilation of punchlines from his Facebook statuses and published by Le Gri-Gri international. The era of hip-hop print media being over, an online and self-produced version of "Get Busy", called "Get Busy Show" was launched as a podcast in 2017, then on video he performed alongside Real Muzul . From 2019, the show is produced by the Clique TV channel, managed by Mouloud Achour under a new format "Clique Get Busy", before changing medium again. In 2021, Sear publishes "Get Busy - The Ultimate Magazine Anthology", an anthology celebrating thirty years of sporadic and memorable publications from the cult magazine.
