Hip-hop collective Saïan Supa Crew’s impact on the French scene is indelible. Influenced by genres birthed from the African diaspora like zouk, ragga and dancehall, the crew touch on issues that are relevant to that community. The group tackles social issues with gravity and humour, taking in police brutality on the plainly titled boom-bap banger “Polices” as well as racism discussed on the comical, classical music-sampling “La preuve par 3”. But it isn’t always heavy topics—comedic love songs like “Angela” add another dimension to their sound.
