This Italian … Read Full Bio ↴E.X.P. are Jimmy Nicoli, Luca Galiati and Mario Borgonovo.
This Italian Eurodance trio. E.X.P. were noticed right from the start with their first single "Before The Night" in 1992.
Their formula was simple and consisted to release dance tracks similar to the popular German dance hits of the time. And so "Before The Night" was based on "Understand This Groove" by SoundFactory while "Shake Your Body" was based on Snap!'s "Rhythm Is A Dancer".
The titles of E.X.P. were very 'DJ Friendly' and began to be mixed by DJ's with the hits they were based on.
Fronted by vocalists Julia and Katya Dave, E.X.P. collected the club hits.
"Before The Night" was used in a mash up by The Original. "Shake Your Body" and "Save Me" did well in Europe and Canada.
The latter singles got lost in the saturated market of Eurodance. "The Sound (Keep Rolling)" (1994) was heavily based on Corona's "Rhythm Of The Night" while "Dunga! Dunga!" (1995), the very last song to be released by E.X.P., was very similar to "Dub-I-Dub" by Me & My.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all I think about is money
All day everyday man
Push ispan andidlali
Your favourite rapper iyand'bhawa
Your favourite rapper needs a shower
Man I'm the plug show me the socket coz I really need the power
Better pay me some respect kwedin
With the gang istayela senzi sex kwedin
I'm so fly and my haters crash landing
I'm on my 9-5
A lil nigga tryna stay alive
Better pay me cash! Gotta buy some pampers and a food hamper don't you kill my vibe
Coz my pockets really full of hope
Gotta fill up the fridge back at home
Gotta move to a place of my own
Take care of my health and my soul
I got a really bad habit
Of taking the bus lane in traffic
I don't even have a license
My mom will tell you if you askin
I be with my bitch if you askin
Or with my niggaz pushing passion
I ain't never gonna stop
I got big dreams for this rap shit
S'hleli Njee
Hlala namajita, s'faki wash, s'faki zesta
Saphi light, ungabheji, andikuthembi
Mntana, uyandifuna
Uye ndlini noba andikho
Kodwa mna andimfuni, ayingo Main
Baby, uyakhweleta uthi mna ndijola eRands
Kodwa ndijola naye yedwa, haybo Bae
Andinalo ixesha lamantombazana
Ndizami mali, ndizami Mpilo Girl

And I don't wanna see no lady standing next to me coz vele ndiya Banger
Bathi sohlangana eRands
Mac'Oldie Bring Me Some Racks
And I don't wanna chill with broke Niggas only Niggas that are carrying the bag
Bathi khame kancane

And I don't wanna see no Tripping coz am here for some Racks nigga
These other Niggas Tripping coz they thinking now they are the badass niggaz

Iskeem Sam siyabagqibezela my nigga so watch what you say
My pimp game on another level and I don't compete with the lames
The song "Radio Edit" by E.X.P. Feat. Julia talks about the rapper's obsession with money, his hustle, and his dreams. The lyrics express how the rapper is all about getting money, being fresh and fly, and pushing passion with his gang. He is focused on fulfilling his dreams, taking care of his health, and moving to his own place. He has a bad habit of taking the bus lane in traffic and doesn't even have a driver's license. He is with his clique, and they are all about hustling, making cash, and staying away from broke people. They are determined to make their dreams come true, and nothing can stop them.
The song has an upbeat tempo with a unique mix of English and Xhosa lyrics. It showcases a different style of rap, where the lyrics reflect the daily struggles and aspirations of the people. The song's use of Xhosa as one of the languages also adds a cultural element that speaks to E.X.P.'s identity and roots.
