The Beginning and Domination in Mainstream
It began with a rapper named Ganxsta "Döglégy" Zolee (b. Zoltán Zana, January 7, 1968) and his clique The Kartel. He is the son of high-class actor family and is a professional ice-hockey player. In musical grounds he was originally the drummer for a hard rock band Sex Action before forming his then-underground gangsta rap collective in 1995. Their first album Egyenesen a gettóból (English: Straight out the ghetto) was not a commercial success and gained little radio airplay, though their first single "Boom a fejbe" (Eng.: Boom to the head") reached the top 20 on a major record megastore sales chart that was published weekly in Danubius Rádió (the only commercial radio station with full country coverage then). Their second LP Jégre teszlek (Eng.: Put you on ice) and Helldorado was a big success with the latter having a Latino rap style influence and being certified platinum (50,000).
