Hailing from Panamá but now residing in Oakland, Los Rakas blends hip hop, reggae, and dancehall music with Spanish and English lyricism creating songs that leave your head noddin’ and body rockin’ for more. The duo, composed of MC’s DunDun and Rico AKA Filthy Rich, tag team the mic with a tenacity reminiscent of old school veterans in the hip hop game and the energy and passion of the newer cats on the scene. With a fusion of Spanish and English lyrics, they’ve been compared to a Latin version of OutKast.
