It was formed in 2001 by founding members Johnny Strange, Itchyban, and Lafrotino. They were later joined by singers Larsito, Mr. Reedoo, Don Cali, and DJ Chino con Estilo. Their differing heritages allows for a mixture of lyrics in German, English, Spanish, and Patois.

There is a notable turn in their music as well as in the lyrics from their self-named third album onwards. This attracted many new, mostly younger, fans but disgruntled those who supported them in the beginning of their career.

Ey DJ
Ey-ey-ey, ey DJ
Ey DJ
Ey-ey-ey, ey DJ

Eh, gib mir Action, Satisfaction
Drei Tage wach, Dicka, wenn schon, denn schon
Feiern deluxe, ey, vergiss ma' Topshop

Fackel' nicht lange, denn wir sind der Hotspot
Trinken Rum Punch, sippen Red Stripe
Weed aus Holland, meine Gang high
Ey Mister DJ, dreh ma' den Bass auf
Morgen geht eh keiner arbeiten, scheiß drauf

Ey DJ, bring den Tune zurück (ahu)
Ey DJ, die Meute spielt verrückt (ahu)
Ey DJ, wir schreien im Chor
Wir wollen feiern, wir wollen Party, wir wollen Bässe im Ohr (ahu)

Ey DJ
Ey-ey-ey, ey DJ

Alle meine MCs, B-Boys, Writer, Selecter
Singer, Producer, Styler, Connecter
Dancehall Queens, alle Freaks, was los?
Alle Ladys, alle meine Bros
Mami, tanz ma', Mami, tanz ma'
Noch energetischer, noch eleganter
Dicka, jump ma', mach ma' Dampf da
Alle Fäuste hoch wie Black Panther (ahu)

Come my, girl, zieh den Stock ausm Arsch und ?
Everybody let's go (everybody let's go)
Feuerfrei, gib mir noch mehr Style, Mami
Shake dat booty, get low

Die Nacht wird durchgefeuert, schmeiß noch mehr Holz ins Feuer
Der Pegel steigt und steig immer weiter hoch (ahu)

Ey DJ, bring den Tune zurück (ahu)
Ey DJ, die Meute spielt verrückt (ahu)
Ey DJ, wir schreien im Chor
Wir wollen feiern, wir wollen Party, wir wollen Bässe im Ohr (ahu)

Ey DJ
Ey-ey-ey, ey DJ
Ey, ey DJ
Ey, ey DJ

En un bar y la rumba que arranca
Las chicas felices meneando la nalga
Griten más duro, hagan más bulla
Pa' temblar la capulla
Se prende la pista, caliente la baila
El flash hipnotiza
El robot no baila, este beat que envicia
Y a mi gente la desquicia

Langsam fangen alle an zu lallen (ahu)
Zug um Zug, Bruda, abgefahren (Dicka)
Die Kekse fangen grade an zu knallen (ahu)
Ich lass' die Hüllen und mich fallen (ahu)

Ey DJ, bring den Tune zurück (ahu)
Ey DJ, die Meute spielt verrückt (ahu)
Ey DJ, wir schreien im Chor
Wir wollen feiern, wir wollen Party, wir wollen Bässe im Ohr (ahu)
Ey DJ, bring den Tune zurück (ahu)

Wir wollen feiern, wir wollen Party, wir wollen Bässe im Ohr (ahu)
