Mucho Barato... by Control Machete

About

This is the record that broke Mexican underground rap into the mainstream. Control Machete entered the scene with humorously foul (but clever) lyrics and cholo-style street swag, spitting ill rhymes about chugging “Cheve” and starting their own revolution on “Justo’n.” Fermin IV and Pato’s flows are combustible when paired with DJ/producer Toy’s untouchable, genre-defying backdrop. Expect epic interludes, top-notch turntablism, and samples of Mexican classics set to hard-hitting beats—all the elements that made this Monterrey trio a pioneering hip-hop phenomenon.
