LOS RAKAS

Los Rakas is one of the most talented & multi-faceted globalized voices in hip hop & R&B.” – Austinist

Truth is, there’s only Los Rakas really doing this. The bilingual rap and reggae duo out of Oakland (via Panama) are putting all the pieces together: rapping in both Spanish and English over rhythms (and riddims) from a faraway isthmus and from around the block. They draw lines between the immigrant experience and the urban experience; between the black and the brown experience. They rhyme about partying and looking fresh and smoking fine Cali weed, but also about what’s really going on, about struggle, about identity.” – MTV Iggy

ZUZUKA PODEROSA
Zuzuka Poderosa’s bio is a lot like the story of global bass music itself. The Brazil-born, Brooklyn-based bass vocalist is inspired by baile funk but her music has taken on the flavors of everywhere she has been and everything she has heard. Now she spreads her ass-shaking hybrid inspirations around the world…” – MTV Iggy
