They achieved considerable fame throughout Europe and the rest of the world due to the fact that even non-francophones found it easy to fall victim to their infectious sense of rhythm.
Saïan Supa Crew produced a very musical style of rap with hints of chanting, reggae and dancehall. Beat boxing also is an integral part of their music, as well as classic disco; for example, Ring My Bell was partially revisited on their album KLR.
Their primary themes extend from drug problems (Que dit-on?) to racism (La preuve par 3), including also relationships (A demi-nue), suicide (La dernière séance) and the justification of violence by religion (Au nom de quoi). Humor and seriousness are both at home in their lyrics.
Their second album, X-raisons, was awarded a Victoire de la musique in 2002 for Best Rap/Groove Album.
Most of the groups of the collective have solo albums out as well. OFX was the first to debut, with their album Roots in February 2004, followed shortly by Explicit Samouraï in January 2005 and later by Sir Samuel whose solo album, Vizé pli o, was released in April 2005.
In 2009 Féfé released his solo debut, Jeune à la retraite.
The last album from Saïan Supa Crew, Hold Up, was released Halloween 2005. On this album, the group demonstrated their breadth with three featured artists: German singer Patrice on 96 degreez, the singer Camille on Si j'avais su, and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas on La patte.
The group disbanded in 2007 shortly after primary members Leeroy Kesiah and Feniksi left.
Other group members include Vicelow, Sly the Mic Buddha, Leeroy Kesiah, Specta, and KLR (died 1999).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mic check, one-two, j'ai la vibe qui fracasse tout
De retour pour du brand new qui tabasse tout
Paré pour le compte à rebours, rabzouz, noich, bamboula, babtou
On t'lâche tout sur le mic, v'là l'crew qui t'crache tout
Aarh thou, opé' pour le énième bain de foule, que tout le monde reste cool
On ne vient pas du même moule et c'est ça qui les saoule
Arrache-toi d'là avant qu'tu ne comprennes ta douleur

Back in the biz, we still the same
Woyoyoyooo (Five, four, three, two, one) Blow
New year, new shit, new game
2005, the year of the gentlemen
(One) Tes projets tombent à l'eau, Samuel, sale animal
(Two) Et, bousiller ta sono, c'est notre but principal
(Three) Donc viens pas nous tester, non (Four) viens pas nous chercher
Le Saïan vise le bordel international
(Five) (?) voix au micro pour voir les salles en flammes
Telle est la mission, on y met corps et âme
(Six) Avec encore plus de maille (Blow) encore plus de style
(Blow) L'effectif est réduit mais l'énergie est àl

Négro, le SSC déclenche le click click fire
Trois ans qu'on s'est taillés, que l'rap est à peu près pareil
Mais qu'est-ce que tu croyais? Saïan revient vite au fight
(?) ces cinq flows phénoménaux
Le monde est notre (?)
Y a qu'un seul plan de carrière, c'est gratter le cahier jusqu'à ivre
Égaler nos idoles, faire vibrer vieux types ou racailles, vient qui veut (Blow)
