The wait is over! Affer a 2 ½ year wait, the follow up to "Masterpiece", one of reggaeton's most successful and critically acclaimed album's ever, is here. RKM & Ken-Y, creators of classics such as "Down", "Me Matas", "Igual Que Ayer" and "Lloraras" present their follow up album THE ROYALTY. Reggaeton's romactic duo unleash a collection of music that will redefine all expectations and showcase the artistic growth and individual maturity that will surely elevate the group to a status previously unheard of in the genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST Romantic/Sencillo Reggaeton, January 25, 2010

By	V. Vicari "-doblefrijol" (Sacramento, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're into Reggaeton, but don't like all the club bangers & "ando pa' la calle" street stuff, then this album is for you. Don't get me wrong, soy puro Reggaetonero until the end, but The Royalty is SO SMOOTH! They have really good upbeat tracks, but the slower, more serious temas are GREAT! Ken-Y is a great writer and has a knack for writing lyrics that are raw and that everyone can relate to. No, this isn't your bass-injected, grind-your-chonies-off Reggaeton, but it is still an excellent buy for suave and romantic Reggaeton. After all, they were grammy-nominated. "Mis Dias Sin Ti" and "Si Tu Me Amaras" are simply gold, and "Vicio del Pecado" is amazing - and I don't hardly ever like Bachata! Whether this is RKM y Ken-Y's last album together or not, you should still add this to your Reggaeton artillery. If you have, or have ever had a girl in your life, then you need to have this CD. pure romantic perfection.
