M&G

Bucharest-based group M&G were amogst the first hip hop artists in Romania in the early 1990s. Founded in Pantelimon in 1992, by brothers Marian "Mari" Codreanu and Gabriel "[a=Co-G]" Codreanu, they were known for their affiliation with gangsta rap pioneers [a=B.U.G. Mafia], who were from the same neighbourhood. They released their debut album in 1995 and, after appearing on [a=B.U.G. Mafia]'s sixth studio album, "Dupa blocuri" (In The Projects) in 2000, they signed with Casa Productions, Mafia's then-newly founded hip hop label, in 2001, turning to raggamuffin dancehall instead of hip hop. Produced by [a=Tataee], their fourth album was called "Asalt raggafonic" (Raggafonic Assault) and won them a handful of musical awards in 2004, when it was released.
