Grupo HNE drop new single + video for “La Doce”
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 3rd 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.”

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
