Being formed in 2005, Irie Maffia soon became a firm favourite with the young party-goers of Budapest, which can hardly be considered a surprise given the powerful medley of reggae, hip-hop, rock and funk they play, and the impressive line-up in terms of the Hungarian underground-music scene. Sena, Busa and Columbo are all well-known figures of the Budapest nightlife. Among the musicians we can find such names as Dermot, the ingenious bandleader and trombone-player, or Jumo Daddy, the Hammond organ wizard.
The band has performed at practically every festival in Hungary imaginable, while their sound system formation (consisting of the DJs and MCs of the band) has been kept busy by the clubs of the country.
The memorable full house release party of the Mafia’s first LP, Fel a kezekkel! (Hands in the air), took place on A38, a popular party boat in Budapest, in December, 2007.
Irie Maffia's first video clip, shot for their most popular song, Hands In the Air, came out in the spring of 2008.
In autumn 2008 the Irie Maffia was one of the 5 nominees for MTV European Music Awards Local Hero in Hungary.
The band's sound system formation holds weekly club nights in Corvin teto, offering awesome reggae music to the Tuesday night audience of the venue.
The popularity of Irie Maffia, however, is by no means restricted to the borders of Hungary. Their first recording in 2006 made use of a dancehall riddim, the Rodeo riddim (formerly made popular by the mighty Seeed), which was released by Germaica Records, Europe’s leading reggae/dancehall record company.
To make the most of the success, the Maffia went on tour to several European destinations, amongst which was the Italian Rototom Sunsplash in 2007, probably the greatest reggae competition of the continent. They came out second with an outstanding performance after the local Italian heroes, which was an immense achievement in the light of the fact that they had had to convince a thoroughly orthodox jury with their rather eclectic and innovative kind of music.
Having fulfilled the requirements of Dutch/foreign trustees, the Maffia took part in Amsterdam's My City Budapest Festival, an event featuring the most important Hungarian bands. They were also asked to participate in a festival in Rovereto, Italy, celebrating the 90th anniversary of the end of WW1, to which each European country's national radio station deputed one band.

Irie Maffia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like a supersonic, iconic, blood tonic for your brain man. ow
You should run to the rock or run to the sea,
maybe even go round the block running from me cuz i'll find ya
Yes i'll find ya
you can sit on the fence and yakity yak or step to my face and try to attack,
I'll grind ya. I'll just grind ya
cuz I got these horns, funky tones and the big bad boys in the back here
and I ride that breeze like a buzzing bee singing ain't nobody got a thing on me
but I'll stick it to you, if you bothering me!
You don't want come try me be cool
cause I'm dangerous
nobody can rock you like we do
no fight no fuss
write your own story you choose
just stay with us
I know that this might be what you looking for
Szuperszónikus extravaganza
Intergalaktikus-rap az alapra
Ehhez konyítunk, velem a banda
Az én nevem: Bad Madafaka
Instrumentális extázis
Experimentális rap vár itt
A beat-en dekázik, a verbális fázis
Irie Maffia elcsábít máris
Harsognak a trombiták
Nektek visít a rockgitár
Na mi a szitu?
Ez nem csalás, nem ámítás
Most a színpadon akit látsz
Az a Busa Pityu,...
You don't want come try me be cool
cause I'm dangerous
nobody can rock you like we do
no fight no fuss
write your own story you choose
just stay with us
I know that this might be what you looking for Ultrasonic, bionic, blow your mind like hash and chronic
see that cloud? I'm up on it, blazing like a freaking comet
exotic, melodic, twist my skirt to cause a panic
volcanic, harmonic, electronic music manic….
coz I got these horns, funky tones and the big bad boys in the back here
singing come and give it to me
and I ride that breeze like a buzzing bee singing ain't nobody got a thing on me
but I'll stick it to you, if you bothering me!
You don't want come try me be cool
cause I'm dangerous
nobody can rock you like we do
no fight no fuss
write your own story you choose
just stay with us
I know that this might be what you looking for
The lyrics to Irie Maffia's "Supersonic" are packed with energy and bravado, creating an overall image of a powerful, confident figure who is ready to take on anything. The opening lines set the tone perfectly, as the singer describes himself as a "super structure" that is about to cause a "rupture." He's clearly not someone to be messed with, as he's "insane man like a supersonic, iconic, blood tonic for your brain man." The mix of vivid adjectives (supersonic, iconic, bloody) helps to convey the idea of an unstoppable force, someone who is both feared and revered.
As the song continues, the singer taunts anyone who might consider opposing him. He warns them to "run to the rock or run to the sea" if they want to avoid him, but ultimately he'll "find ya." The confidence in his own abilities is evident throughout, as he promises to "grind" anyone who tries to attack him. He's supported by his "big bad boys in the back" who are "singing come and give it to me," adding to the boastful tone of the lyrics.
Overall, "Supersonic" is a song that celebrates power, confidence, and swagger. The singer is clearly someone who commands respect and admiration, and the lyrics are designed to make the listener feel that same sense of empowerment. The use of vivid imagery, engaging rhymes, and memorable phrases all combine to create a song that is both fun and empowering.
