Saïan Supa Crew was a French hip hop collective that was composed of three bands: Explicit Samouraï, OFX and Simple Spirit. It formed in 1997 and separated in 2007 after the departure of one of its leaders, Leeroy Kesiah. The name Saïan Supa was a reference to the Super Saiyan from the manga and anime Dragon Ball Z/GT.
Saïan Supa Crew produced a very musical style of hip hop with hints of chanting, reggae, dancehall, zouk and ragga. Beat boxing also was an integral part of their music, as well as classic disco, for example, "Ring My Bell" was partially revisited on its album KLR; bossa nova, as heard on the song KLR, salsa, in À Demi Nue, and even bits of classical music, in La Preuve par 3 and intros of various other songs.
The variety and originality of their music, and their energic style brought them international recognition. In their home country, the song Angela was a huge hit in 2000 and sold 600,000 copies.
Their first album released in 1999, KLR, bears the name of one of its members who died in a car crash in April 1998, a few months after the collective had formed and before they would achieve success. It contains a song of the same name entirely dedicated to him.
