Their R&B/Hip-hop/Rap/soul music takes influences from their various backgrounds (Arab, Pakistani, and Latin music), and although their songs are primarily in English, they usually feature lyrics in Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and Danish. All these influences make the music of Outlandish somewhat unique and this is easy to notice from the variety of genres covered in their albums. Outlandish often include themes about Islam and contemporary issues facing young Muslims in the west in their music, and sometimes their songs define a nasheed-like unique genre.
So far they have produced four albums: Outland's Official (2000), Bread & Barrels of Water (2003), Beats, Rhymes & Life (2004) and Closer Than Veins (2005).
Last November 2006 Outlandish won the MTV EMAs as a best danish act of the year, the same month as the creation of their new fan-site Elmoro4Life.com

Outlandish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moro
Break your ego
We don't need that
Let's go, let's go
Try to learn every single ayat
So my soul in front of Allah, gon' be smelling good
In it for the money? Nah man, I'm in it for the truth
Ain't about any gold or the ice
Sneaks and clothes, just part of the hype
MTV sucks big time
Cribs and bling, get a real life
But wow, take a minute or two
Why we spending so much money man that we don't have boo
Every tiny detail, we gotta have kid!
Every kind of device to make us look rich
Hollywood, magazines, videos
Escaping anything and anyone, away we go
In it sickening enough that we don't really care?
In it sickening enough that we don't wanna share
Wish for my brother what I wish for myself
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
"Get rich or die tryin'" who ever said it was poor
Don't they ever gon' learn from the Pharaoh in gold
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Wish for my brother what I wish for myself
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Hey hvorfor er det lige du tror du kender mig
A shabi rasi hrakni
Så jeg venter bare på du kommer med en kommentar
Nogen burde sku bare klap I
For der er mange som der misforstår, når vi går
Render rundt og tror vi alle bistand får
YO hold lige
Kan vi ikke få nogle argumenter med noget hold I
Så må I heller komme igen med noget bedre
For jeg ser det mange steder
Læser osse om det når jeg sidder
Og tjekker det på tv men jeg gider ikke sige hvad de hedder
Og de allerede ved at forberede nye ting
Siger det kun fordi jeg kan være det bekendt
Og de er allerede ved at forberede syge ting
I må heller kom med et bedre argument
Og jeg sidder og læser avisen, tænker hvorfor skriver de
Nogle ting om og om igen
For I denne verden som vi lever I
Må vi heller' bare kom igen
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Wish for my brother what I wish for myself
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Moro got this, Moro got that
Break your ego, 'cause we don't need that
M-R en medio O
O termina Moro, wow
Que no te atrape la locura del dinero
Vender unidades, solo ser un pesetero
Si no me gusta lo que hago y no lo gozo
Si me muero de amargura no hay negocio
En cuanto a cómo hay que hacerlo todos tienen comentarios
Si no sabes a dónde vas regresa pa' saber de donde vienes
En lo oscuro el alma es lo único que tienes
Ojos que no ven, corazón que nunca siente
El juego comienza, se atrapa en tu mente
Who's gonna put this demon on hold
A to the DL too cold
These days your ego's too bold
Eating diamonds and gold
I got a noose and a lasso right here
I got a whip that'll hit you right there
It's time to rush with no fear
It's time to crush or prepare
Follow the leader but the leader is a jerk
That's him in the corner with a smirk
He's a devil and he's making us work
I used to be calm until I went bezerk
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom igen, kom igen
Wish for my brother what I wish for myself
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Ek dafa tu yaha a ke dekh
Kuch lamhe tu bhi zara sah ke dekh
Kabhi apni aan or shaan ko rakh ker bande raah ja
Dard ho ga sahna
Door ho ga rahna
To bole mere naina
Kiya kehna hai?
Inke bare me? Jo peete hai ghareeb ka khoon paseena
Dekhe hai aise meh ne beshumar
Udh kehya hai is duniya se mera ehtebaar
Come on
Kidar jaye ka kidar haad pehlai ka
Kabhi na kabhi tu us ke samne girgary ka
Tobaa tu kare ka to ho ki teri qabool
Mafii teri mane rakhe ki hoga maqbool
Tere pass hi aye ke hum
Tera sivar or kidar ja sake ke hum
Karr de karam take mera reh jeye baram
Jana hai door tera noor manzil hai koh-hi toor
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom igen, kom igen
Wish for my brother what I wish for myself
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Moro got this, Moro got that
Break your ego, 'cause we don't need that
Moro got this, Moro got that
Break your ego, 'cause we don't need that

"Kom Igen" is a song by Outlandish, a Danish hip-hop group that blends hip-hop with world music, specifically Middle Eastern and North African influences. The song is a call to action to break away from materialism and selfishness and focus on the things that matter in life, especially in the context of the Muslim faith.
The opening lyrics "Moro, break your ego, we don't need that, let's go" set the tone for the rest of the song. The rapper talks about the importance of learning every single ayat (verse) of the Quran, so that his soul will smell good in front of Allah (God). He emphasizes the importance of being in it for the truth, rather than for the money, and calls out the obsession with material possessions, as seen in Hollywood, magazines, and music videos. He urges listeners to love the world less and to put their egos to rest. The song also includes verses in Spanish and Arabic, further showcasing the group's unique blend of cultural influences.

Si no sabes a donde vas regresa pa' saber de donde vienes
En lo oscuro el alma es lo único que tienes
Ojos que no ven Corazón que nunca siente?
El juego comienza su trampa en tu mente
[Translation]
Don't let the craziness of money get to you
Sell more, only be a money lover
If I don't like what I'm doing and don't enjoy it
I'll die of sorrow and there will be no business
Everybody has a comment on how you do things
But if you don't know where you're going
You have to go back and see where you came from
In darkness your soul is all you have
Out of sight, out of mind
The game is setting a trap for your mind
Who's gonna put this demon on hold
A to the DL to cold
These days your ego's too bold
Eating diamonds and gold
I got a nooz and a lasso right here
I got a whip that'll hit you right there
It's time to rush with no fear
It's time to crush and prepare
Follow the leader but the leader is a jerk
That's him in the corner with a smirk
He's a devil and he's making me work
I used to be calm until I went bezerk......
Kom Igen Kom Igen

Tera sivar or kidar ja sake ke hum
Karr de karam take mera reh jeye baram

[Translation]
Just once try walking in these shoes
Try to feel some of these moments
Put away your ego and pride and stay without
Pain you will have to suffer
Far away you will have to stay
My eyes they say
What should I say about those who suck out the blood and sweat of the poor
I've seen endless cases
I've lost faith in this world
Where will you go
Where will you plead for help
Sooner or later you will beg in front of him
If you prepend you will be heard
If you sincerely feel remorse it will be manifested
To you shall we return
Where else can we go
Show mercy so in front of you I'll not be humiliated
So far to go to reach your light
My destination is Kooh-I-toor
Koli ya Ibaddalah
shal mena baqi gasoem

B'dinar, dollar, euro, tasi maqdar

[Translation]
Tell me, people of God
How many of us have to die in cold blood
Innocent victims, ruins and prisons
Murderers killing as well, even racism.
Look at our countries, nothing but poverty
No food, no rights, my heart stays empty
I look unto the sky and ask God for His mercy
Protect us from hell and Satan's conspiracy
You can't buy your ways into heaven
No Dinar, no Dollar, no Euro will do nothing, could save you
This is a message from the grave, Allah is Great!
