Tres Coronas- The Street Album


In an Urban music world where most spanish speaking latinos are pigeon holed into doing sloppy and gimmicky sounding Raggaeton records, we have a pure breathe of fresh air, well maybe the air ain't fresh at all....actually it's probably really dank and stale, cause it's straight from 94' baby. That's right these two emit an aura that is drenched in the scent of past greatness. Particularly I find that their brand of hip-hop is so potent because as a latino myself I feel that they might have tapped a new market, maybe even forging a new genre by combining rapid fire spanish rapping with gutter 90's era boom bap beats. These Coloumbianos are bringing some serious fire to all those out there who've been sleepin' on latinos and New York. Made up of emcees P.N.O., Rocca and Reychesta (The lone Dominican who was in the group) are no strangers to pleasing the underground masses, for the longest time they were distributing mixtapes under the name Parcero Productions. By doing so they reached into every corner of latin hip-hop and hip-hop in general and recording about 10,000 sales of their music. And while Reychesta has since left the group to pursue a solo career, meanwhile P.N.O. and Rocca are still going strong while they maintain in Queens, NY.
