Editorial Reviews

If you think that hip-hop has to involve dubs and iced-out medallions, this album is not for you. But if you lean more towards conspiracy theories, you'll enjoy the artistry of JJ MC, who is unafraid to expose societal problems involving government, poverty, and more. With a unique vocal style and distinctive musical arrangements, JJ MC is the #1 selling hip-hop artist in Mexico. As he was growing up, JJ MC had the opportunity to live with underprivileged peoples. Therefore, many of his lyrics deal with the denunciation of a government that enriches its pockets with corrupt money even though it knows that most of the people it serves are living in extreme poverty. JJ MC's material has been censored in Mexico due to his singles "Niños de la Calle," "Illegal.com," "A Las Mujeres De Juarez," and more. Without the support of radio, JJ MC initiated a tour through various penitentiaries and other underground places in Mexico City. He closed his tour in El Zocalo, the historical center of the capital, in front of a crowd of more than 80,000 people. The Mexican hip-hop movement, started in Mexico in the early 1990s, has been invigorated by the influence of US-Latin acts such as Tha Mexakinz, Cypress Hill, and Delinquent Habits. More than ten years after the appearance of the first rap act, the Mexican scene remains to the mainstream an almost undiscovered--yet emerging--large and well-distributed underground movement.
