Saïan Supa Crew was a French rap collective composed of three groups: Explicit Samouraï, OFX and Simple Spirit. It formed in 1997 and separated in 2007 after the departure of one of its leaders (along with Feniksi), 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 rap 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 their album KLR; bossa nova, as heard on the song KLR, salsa, in A 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.
