P fkn R! Spanglish boom-bap trio Grupo HNE give dap to Puerto Rico in new single “La Doce.” Translated to English “La Doce” means twelve and was named because it was the twelfth song recorded for the group’s newly released debut LP Calle HNE. Given the video treatment as well, the track observes the trio sharing a meal and strolling through the night life in their home turf of Miami, Florida. DJ Exes (emcee) gives props to his Puerto Rican homeland over the instrumental provided by group producer DJ Heron and multi-instrumentalist Nando.

The trio, which includes a member of the Lo-Life Miami Family have all previously worked with the Lo-Life General, Thirstin Howl The 3^rd and have been dropping musical bombs at a rapid pace this year.

This includes singles (all with accompanying video treatments) for “Calle HNE” as well as non- album tracks including “Black Angels”, “Big Pictures” and “The Palmetto.”

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
