The song is built on themes of endurance, street authority, and the group's commitment to their roots in the Pantelimon neighborhood of Bucharest.
Watch the official music video for this iconic 2000 single featuring ViLLy:
The story of the song (A two followed by three zeros) is a pivotal chapter in the history of B.U.G. Mafia , the pioneers of Romanian gangsta rap. Released in May 2000 , the track served as the lead single for their sixth studio album, Întotdeauna pentru totdeauna (Always Forever). The Context: A Turning Point in 2000
The track features singer-songwriter ViLLy (Vilmos Kanalas), whose melodic hooks became a signature element of the group's "G-funk" inspired sound during this era.
True to their "Bucharest Underground Mafia" moniker, the song maintains the explicit, confrontational tone that frequently put the group at odds with Romanian authorities in the late 90s.
Lyrically, the song is a "check-in" with their fans, asserting that despite their fame, their lifestyle and message remained grounded in the struggles of post-communist Romania. Caddy opens his verse by identifying himself from "SE București" and declaring his intent to hold the top spot in the charts.
