In the world of music, there is discussion based on the question, ” Who started Hip-Hop?” We have people arguing about foundational identity, culture, theft, and racism, but it seems everyone is forgetting about the most important aspect of Hip-Hop….. soul.
Afro-Latino emcee and producer, Mic Mountain dropped the album Triple Piragua, which delivers a mixture of island soul and Hip-Hop. The album feeds the desire to dance and enjoy the fruits of the culture. It contains traditional Boom-Bap beats and instruments commonly used in Hispanic music such as drums, congas, maracas, and bongos. The soulful sounds and rhythm set the stage for everyone to vibe to, from the Caribbean to NYC. Triple Piragua is the perfect blend of different cultures to represent the Hip-Hop genre.
Lyrically, Mic Mountain brings the 90s Hip-Hop feel to Triple Piragua. He dropped bars flavored with Spanish lingo and English slang on this project. His ability to flow bilingually and efficiently makes him a stand-out artist in today’s music industry. Veteran MCs like Psycho Les, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Prince Po, and Nu-Jericans, are featured on the album complimenting Mic Mountain well.
In a time where people are standing in opposition to who started what and who did this or that, good music will be the one thing in the Hip-Hop culture that unifies everyone. Triple Piragua is one of those albums that can break this conversation and give everyone something to celebrate. This album has rhythm, blues, soul, drums, beats, bars, and a message. That message is, ‘Hip-Hop is alive and well, and it will be here forever’.
