Imperio” which translated means The Empire,
and their style of genre is a mix of hip hop with central
and south american latin flavor that gives people the feeling
of something new and powerful. Listen to the incredible
music El imperio delivers and you'll become a believer of
the power behind these lirycal warriors.
ARTIST UPDATE:El Imperio is ready
to release their next album, featuring the east coast's
most talented Latin Rappers on a new track titled 'Tormenta
Lyrikal'. Catch this hot new track right here on VRN starting
August 15th!
El Imperio is made up of 4 young latin rappers, an excellent
unification of three Salvadorans and a Colombian who grew
up in the tough streets of DC. They go by the names : IronMan,
Skorpio, N-Ferno and Fantazma.
IronMan and Skorpio formed this empire in 1994, they both
began doing shows in Latin festivals and night clubs. Their
songs are based on street reality and difficult situations
that latin immigrants go thru here in the U.S. They recorded
their first demo in 1997 which consisted of two songs which
were mainly used for promotional purposes and the difficult
struggle to be recognized by many professional record labels
in the music industry. In 1998, two other elements joined
this empire to become stronger (N-Ferno and Fantazma). With
a completely indestructible team of four talented rappers,
this group knew is was their time to shine. A second album
was recorded in 2000 but the songs contained profanity which
kept it from getting any radio airplay and kept this project
with a limited promotion plan. Now in their third album,
after many years of hard battles and training “El
Imperio” is ready to deliver latin hip hop to all
areas that have been craving for a style with such spanish
rythm and lyrics.Get ready and shine your lirycal swords
because the imperial attack is coming thru on this mission
to push latin hip hop to the fullest and show the world
why latin Hip Hop will hit hard in this new millenium—Finally
the empire is here.
Afrika
Bambaataa A seminal Bronx DJ during the 1970s, Afrika Bambaataa
ascended to godfather status with Planet Rock, the 1982
hip-hop classic which blended the beats of hip-hop with
techno-pop futurism inspired by German pioneers Kraftwerk.
Even before he began recording in 1980, Bambaataa was hip-hop's
foremost DJ, an organizer and promoter of the large block
parties during the mid- to late '70s which presaged the
rise of rap. After the success of Planet Rock, he recorded
electro-oriented rap only sparingly, concentrating instead
on fusion -- exemplified by his singles with ex-Sex Pistol
John Lydon and fellow godfather James Brown. Bambaataa had
moved to the background by the late '80s (as far as hip-hop
was concerned), but the rise of his Zulu Nation collective
-- including De La Soul, Queen Latifah, A Tribe Called Quest,
and the Jungle Brothers -- found him once more being tipped
as one of rap's founding fathers. Catch Afrika Bambaataa's
