  • B.U.G. Mafia (an abbreviation for"Bucharest Underground Mafia"), is a Romanian hip hop group from Pantelimon, Bucharest, widely regarded as one of the seminal acts of gangsta rap in Romania. Founded in 1993 as Black Underground, its original lineup consisted of Vlad "Tataee" Irimia, Dragoș "Caddy" (short for Cadillac) Vlad-Neagu and two other members, D.D. and Mr.Nobody, who, by the end of the year, had already departed from the group. Irimia and Vlad-Neagu, who were still teenage high school students at the time, had been working on amateur solo recordings and had little professional prospects on their own prior to their encounter. The group initially performed as a duo throughout Bucharest at local highschool proms and parties while considering their options for professional careers in music and, following a string of relatively unsuccessful attempts at promoting their music in English, they recruited Alin "Uzzi" Demeter in 1995 and eventually transitioned to writing in Romanian. Throughout the years, the group endured a long-standing controversy due to the explicit and confrontational nature of their lyrics. Focusing on subjects such as the post-communist Romanian political class, poverty and crime in Romania's communist-built housing projects or their recurring hostility towards Romanian Police, they were subsequently banned from many mainstream T.V. and radio stations in Romania and even at times prevented from touring, spending a night in police custody after their first concert in Drobeta-Turnu Severin in 1997. Although controversial in their incipient years, their lyricism has been praised by a number of literary figures, such as Emil Brumaru and Mircea Cărtărescu. Despite being independently produced on a modest budget over just a few months in 1995, their debut album Mafia signified the birth of Romanian gangsta rap and established them on the fledgling hip hop scene emerging at the time in Romania. They have been estimated to have sold over 1,150,000 records. (en)
  • B.U.G. Mafia, ou simplement Mafia, est un groupe de hip-hop roumain, originaire de . Son style musical s'inspire un peu de la West Coast américaine. Certaines personnes pensent que le nom veut dire « Bucuresti Under Ground Mafia », d'autres disent que le nom vient de « Black UnderGround Mafia ». Formé en 1993 sous le nom de Black Underground, la formation originale comprend Vlad « Tataee » Irimia, Dragoș « Caddillac » Vlad-Neagu et deux autres membres, D.D. et Mr. Nobody, qui quitte le groupe à la fin de l'année. Irimia et Vlad-Neagu, étaient étudiants à cette période, et travaillaient sur des albums solo. Le groupe joue à l'origine comme duo à Bucarest pendant les bals de promos au lycée puis, après plusieurs échecs pour adopter l'anglais dans leur musique, ils recrutent Alin « Uzzi » Demeter en 1995 et font finalement la transition de leurs paroles en roumain. Au fil des années, le groupe crée la polémique avec leurs paroles agressives. S'autoproclamant de classe post-communiste roumaine, venant de HLM communistes pauvres ou hostiles à la police, ils sont le plus souvent banni de la télévision et des radios locales, et parfois même interdits de tourner, après avoir passé une nuit en prison avant un concert à Drobeta-Turnu Severin en 1997. Malgré ces controverses, leurs paroles sont prônées par des figures littéraires telles qu'Emil Brumaru et Mircea Cărtărescu. Bien que possédant un budget modeste en 1995, ils publient leur premier album Mafia qui marque la naissance du gangsta rap et grâce auquel ils feront désormais partie de la scène émergente du hip-hop roumain.
