Specifically the "Kenny Dope Remix" that hooked me.
It's a wicked sampling of the old skool classic "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band. Starts out Armand Van Helden-"ish", and then takes the classic beats into a new faster, rhythmic direction.
From a New York perspective, I can see 'KTU missing this one. But I would NOT be surprised if "La Kalle (105.9/92.7)" jumps on this. It is NOT reggaetón, but with Kenny Dope behind this with that Latin feel to it, it is not a question of IF...but WHEN. Definitely gives a bit of "diversity" to the "hurban" sound and that not EVERYTHING on that station has to be reggaetón driven.
