Jaffa Phonix first emerged from the underground hip/hop scene in Egypt,[2] and garnered mainstream recognition after a track from their first album, "Osti" (My Story), was played on the Egypt's biggest radio station, Nile FM.[3]

The band's performance took place in Cairo, November 24, 2006, was in front of almost 15,000 people at the second SOS music festival.[4][5][6]
