\"kintosol\"<\/a>In the 90\u2019s the Chicago music scene was dominated by house music which eventually spread all over through clubs, parties, and mixtapes and made international stars out of DJs like Bad Boy Bill and DJ Bam Bam.\u00a0 Many Latinos enjoyed this genre and also got involved in the DJ side of it.\u00a0 It was in the late 90s when Javier \u201cDJ Payback\u201d Garcia got into rocking parties and clubs with house music along with his two brothers Manuel or \u201cSkribe\u201d and Eduardo \u201cEl Chivo\u201d.\u00a0 They moved to Milwaukee, Wis. to concentrate more on music and business. The three brothers who came originally from Iramuco, Guanajuato, Mexico, loved their heritage and hip hop and found a way to mix the two long before many of the popular Latin rap artists that you hear today got into the business.
\n\u201cA lot of people are doing it for the business side of it, not us.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been doing this since nobody cared for Latin hop hop, nobody cared about Latinos in hip hop, but even as DJs we did,\u201d Skribe said of their beginnings.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing this for a while, mixtapes from the beginning, and even hip hop, regular hip hop, wasn\u2019t even popular, it was mostly house [music] if you remember.\u00a0 House, even in New York, house was big, Latin house, but then we always knew it was Latin hip hop.\u00a0 It was Latinos doing hip hop and we always had love for our culture and we started making the mix CDs.\u201d
\nThose mixes were the \u201cHecho en Aztlan\u201d series that came as white cassette tapes with the Mexican flag on both sides.\u00a0 They featured artists like Crooked Stylo, Delinquent Habits, Psycho Realm, Conejo, Los Marijuanos, El Chivo and of course Kinto Sol. These tapes helped spread Latin hip hop throughout the Midwest and introduced the brothers to many fans of Latin hip hop.
\nWhen they started, the group rapped mainly in English and featured other friends on the albums, but as Skribe says they felt more comfortable rapping in Spanish since it was their first language. Some of those friends would get in trouble and eventually lost patience in the art form but the brothers continued making music even more determined.\u00a0 Today they can be credited as one of the first groups\u00a0 in this genre to blend the traditional Mexican\/Latin sounds into their hip hop, something they still do to this day. This blending has led them to collaborate with Mexican Regional group K-Paz de La Sierra on the Duranguense track \u201cJambalaya\u201d.\u00a0 Doing these types of collaborations has helped them get exposed to fans of K-Paz and duranguense music as well as bridged a gap for many younger Latinos who like both genres.
\n\u201cA lot of the regional Mexican artists know that the new generation of mexicanos, they\u2019re into hip hop,\u201d Skribe says.
\nSkribe hopes to do a song in the future with an established group in the banda genre and says that they might do another duranguense track with Alacranes Musicales.
\nKinto Sol has been steadily selling units independently and has now secured a large fan base all over the world.\u00a0 Because of this they really have not needed a major label to support them but now the labels have come to them.\u00a0 Their newest album is called \u201cLos Hijos del Maiz\u201d which is being released under the Univision Records label.\u00a0 Nothing will change musically explains Skribe, but their music will be more readily available for fans to pick up just about anywhere.
\n\u201cWe do music from the heart, we do music with concepts not just to do songs,\u201d Skribe says.
\nDJ Payback is also working on the next \u201cHecho en Aztlan\u201d mixtape.\u00a0 For more information about Kinto Sol log on to KintoSol.com or MySpace.com\/queondakintosol.<\/p>\n
