Kickin' It... Juntos

Performer: Akwid
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Additional personnel: David Rolas, Jenni Rivera. Kickin' It... Juntos compiles previously released songs by Akwid and Jae-P, probably the two leading urban regional artists in Latin music circa 2005, both of whom record for Univision, the label responsible for this release. There are 14 songs here, seven from each performer, highlighting the best-known songs by the artists. So if you already own albums by either Akwid or Jae-P, you should consider how much overlap you mind. If you don't own CDs by either but like the music compiled here, you should consider the value of this compilation, which essentially is the most popular music of two artists to date for the price of one. It's a good deal. Then again, the proper albums from which these songs were drawn are pretty damn good too. So think it over. Good music, either way. ~ Jason Birchmeier Jae-P and the duo Akwid join forces in the Latin-hip-hop summit meeting that is KICKIN' IT JUNTOS. Between the three of them, they possess a surfeit of rapping skills, as they rhyme in Spanish over a variety of tracks. While some tunes offer a straight-up West Coast hip-hop sound, others venture a bit further afield, dipping into a pan-Latin approach that complements Jae-P and Akwid's styles. Much more than just a standard-issue, generic hip-hop album with Spanish-language rapping grafted on, KICKIN' IT JUNTOS is a full-fledged melding of cultures and styles.
