After buying their debut album, I was waiting until they came out with their next album and boy do they deliver. Not only is this better than their 1st album (which was excellent, by the way), but they got even more creative with the beats. A big draw for me was using old school Mexican music their families and ancestors grew up listening to and putting on a nice, funky and street hip hop vibe onto it. And they continue to do it with this release.

Considering that this was released at the time hip hop was transforming to the bling bling era, the album was different than what was being played. I highly recommend "Here Comes The Horns" along with their debut album and their third album, "Merry Go Round". Peace to real hip-hop!!!

While listening to this CD, I had both the impression of being down in LA and to live an old western movie with flavors of dry sands and beautiful dark-skinned girls. Lyrics are to the point, the flow is great and the music astounding. I still listen to it regularly although I bought it 6-7 years ago.

Here in the UK, hip hop coming from latinos is a rare thing, if your name is not Cypress Hill, Fat Joe or Big Pun we don't know you. It was by chance that one night while watching Mtv Base I caught the video to Return of the tres, (released on a later album called Merry Go Round) I could not get the song out of my head it was just what I was looking for in terms of more of that raw hip hop with a latin vibe. I picked up the album Merry Go Round and was in awe of the quality of this group and when I found out that they had two previous albums it angered me a bit wondering why I had not heard of them before, anyway I started searching for their previous work and I came across this album.

First of all let's get one thing straight, I thought that Merry Go Round was a classic, this group could not possibly have another one could they? Dam straight they can, this album is fantastic.
This three man group consisting of DJ OG and mc's Ives and Kemo hail from LA and bring a sound which is both distinctly LA funk fused with the Ranchero sound (think Mariachi guitars and horns) not to mention the great scratch sample cuts provided by OG that they just takes these elements of different musical styles and fuse them to create this sound is in it's self a feat that should be applauded. I am not going to single out any tracks, they are ALL excellent, no fillers and each with their own distinctive style, this album does not suffer from same beat syndrome.
On the Rhymes Kemo and Ives are solid using spanglish lyrics with great effect and the way they blend it in so seemlessly that you don't even notice sometimes takes quite a skill to pull off although I am Latin myself and the understanding of both languages most likely gives me that impression although people that don't understand spanish or english for that matter will still be able to get a lot from this.

Overall this is a classic release, Delinquent Habits have further contributed to the growing release of great hip hop made by latins and are showing the world that they are worth knowing, highly recommended.

Out doing their debut album, the tres delinquentes have made them selves one of the best latin hip hop groups I've ever heard. Loud records made a huge mistake by letting these guys get away(after this). With there lyrical flows and horn samples blaring all the guests (Sen dog of Cypress Hill, Beatnuts, and Big Pun) are eclipsed" You will definitely love this album...a classic!!!!!

the delinquent habits are one of the best unknown groups around and thats the way the real fans will like it to stay.they combine hip hop with trumpets,maracas,horns,and some mariachi sounds.sen dog of cypress hill took this group under his wings for this album and he did a god job.delinquent habits are in the cypress hill family but with their own funky sound that doesnt dissapoint.all tracks on this album are good especially"western ways 2" which features big pun and juju of the beatnuts.one of the best hip hop albums out there.undiscovered gem.

I fell in love with the first CD Delinquent habits because of the song tres delinquentes. that song and Good Times really hit home. I like it cause youz guyz sound like its from the heart. I also like the way the Bass hits in my car which is a 79 lincon Town Coupe Lowrider. It takes a lot to pound that car and you music does it no problem on two eighteens

This is a very good album, the combination between mexican music and hip hop sounds great. Both Delinquent Habits albums are excellent.

THIS IS THE BEST CD THEY EVER MADE. THE FIRST CD WHAS VERY GOOD, AND THE THIRTH CD WHAS ALSO VERY GOOD. BUT THE SECOND ONE BEATS BOTH CD'S. THE MEXICAN FLAFOUR IS SO GREAT YOU CANNOT STOP LISTENING THIS CD. A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION. I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY, BUY IT!!!!!!!!!
