spanish language hip-hop

LA's Akwid were always my faves. Start with Proyecto Akwid, which is the first actual Spanish language stuff they did. "No Hay Manera" was an LA hit I think.

juan data posted a pretty good mix over the weekend

Kind of an interesting video (at least for one viewing) but the music is about as boring as it can be. I do like the Kiss shirt. Sorry, unperson, but with rare exceptions Mala Rodriguez's music is a bore, at least if you can't understand the words.

This one is at least different. Industrial jazz?

yeah the first single for the new mala is pretty eh (the music sounds like a rework of bad romance) but otherwise the album is actually pretty good (although this should probably go under a hip-hop/pop thread)

Yeah, I was listening to some of it yesterday (it's already floating around) and I think I like it more than her last album.

I think the beats are really boring and there's hardly anything going on over top of them. I'm afraid I'm too uninterested to give it another chance and find out if I'm wrong. (I've already deleted this from my PC.)

(although this should probably go under a hip-hop/pop thread)

Hey! We're allowed to go moderately off-topic. I think Spanish-language hip-hop should be allowed on this thread, since I let reggaeton in, although I guess I could have stuck it on your Spanish-language hip-hop thread.

I'm addicted to that Anita Tijoux song ("1977")

Like this thread! Good work, guys

She's doing a late-night, don't know the cover price, poorly promoted gig Thursday night at Liv in W. DC (same night as Kassav).

also in nyc for the latin alternative music conference, panamanians living in oakland "los rakas" have been getting a lot of hype

chilean super-producer nick calaveras whom i've already mentioned a few times in this thread finally came out with his lp, la receta. everything i'd hoped, really - smooth production work and great choice of mcs.

combativo podcast

santiago's active right now, aside form the calaveras a couple of weeks back, noproblem company's dropped their new single, and cevlade's got a video, into both

latin rap - s/d

mexican female mc nina dioz' el mixtape ii

it's kind of huge, she's got great hip-hop and global bass producers at her back (crookers, el remolon + villa diamante, el hijo de la cumbia); with the patterns of buzz around her i'm expecting tijoux levels of exposure in the english press

chino nino got a video in with tego

When the hell is Tego gonna put out another album?

dunno, he seems to be busy touring a lot?

There's been talk of an album called Mr. T (ugh) since late 2008.

i want this kid to respond to rebecca black

NPR Alt-Latino writers love the 2012 Ana Tijoux cd (but mainly for the lyrics). On my one listen I was underwhelmed by the slicker production and the duets. Maybe I will give it another listen or 2.

It sounds a bit better on 2nd listen, and if I spoke Spanish I'd probably like it even more. Note-Spotify has her first 2 albums under Anita Tijoux and La Bala under Ana Tijoux

eh, she's kind of a default go-to thing to love in spanish hip-hiop at this point. i didn't keep the recent album around but might give it another shot
