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).

The lyrics to Saïan Supa Crew's song Jacko tell the story of Jacko, a character who is always well-dressed and loved by everyone, but who is also a notorious liar and gossip. The song starts off by saying that if Jacko is not present, then he is lying to everyone, which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The chorus repeats the name Jacko multiple times, with the refrain stating that Jacko is 100% fake, and that he is a liar and a fraud.
The verses provide more detail about Jacko's character, with everyone wanting to get rid of him and send him to prison. Jacko is addicted to gossip and rumors, and it is best not to turn your back on him. In the second verse, Jacko is accused of stealing money and not working, leaving everyone who depended on him with nothing. However, Jacko is still seen as a charismatic figure, with his fine clothes and good looks making everyone want to be around him.
Overall, the song is a critique of the fake and dishonest people who try to deceive others with their lies and charisma, but who ultimately bring nothing good to the world. It is a warning to be careful about who we choose to trust and follow.
