B.U.G. Mafia (Bucharest Under Ground Mafia) is a Bucharest-based hip hop group (founded in 1993), among the first hip hop acts in Romania widely recognized in their native country as pioneers of gangsta rap in Romania. Though generally categorized as gangsta rap, B.U.G. Mafia proved several times that they can bring political issues in their music, such as the post-Communist Romanian political class, poverty in Romania's communist-built housing projects or street violence.

B.U.G. Mafia (Bucharest Under Ground Mafia) is a Bucharest-based hip hop group (founded in 1993), among the first hip hop acts in Romania widely recognized in their native country as pioneers of gangsta rap in Romania. Though generally categorized as gangsta rap, B.U.G. Mafia proved several times that they can bring political issues in their music, such as the post-Communist Romanian political class, poverty in Romania's communist-built housing projects or street violence. They were subsequently banned from many mainstream T.V. and radio stations in Romania and even at times prevented from touring, spending a night in jail after their first concert in Turnu Severin in 1997.
