"Hasta el Piso" Commercial
COMPLEX MAGAZINE PREMIERE
If there's one thing that the boys from Los Rakas know, its diversity. Born in Panama and now based in Oakland, the duo's members, Raka Dun and Raka Rich, go way beyond bilingual. They're bicultural. Inspired by the Reggae in Spanish sounds of their native land (everyone knows 'Tu Pum Pum' by fellow countryman, El General), Dun and Rich reinvented that musical reggae flavor into ones that are uniquely their own. And now, after seven years of refining their work, both in the U.S. and abroad, their efforts have culminated in Los Rakas' exhilarating debut album, El Negrito Dun Dun & Ricardo.
Complex premieres an exclusive commercial that gives a little taste of Ricardo's track "Hasta El Piso," and you can also scope out the official video for one of Raka Dun's tracks, "No Tan Listo" ("They Ain't Ready").
