Mexican Rap

Mexican rap/hip hop started in the nearly 90's with dance-pop act Calo?, a group of 1 MC and 4 dancers/chorists. They rhymed, singed and danced over pop-house music style instrumentals.

The Underground scene was also born all over the country, with Latin Rap influences such as Kid Frost and Mellow Man Ace and later renewed with US-Latin acts like [Tha Mexakinz]?, Cypress Hill and [Delinquent Habitz]?.

The popularity of Cypress Hill, led crossover (rap-rock) acts emerge in groups like [Control Machete]? and Molotov? in the mid-90's.

more than 10 years after the first rap-like act, the mexican scene remains almost undiscovered, but emerging as a big, well-distributed, underground movement.
