Mexican hip-hop duo Akwid, comprised of brothers Sergio (Wikid) and Francisco (AK) Gomez, combines sharp Spanish rapping with smooth urban rhythms and festive bursts of mexican brass band music to form a distinctive banda/rap sound. With over a dozen full-length albums to their credit, Akwid has quickly emerged as a force in the hotter-than-ever Latin hip-hop scene, gaining worldwide attention and praise with tours of Mexico, the U.S, and Japan, and earning Latin Grammy nominations along the way. The Gomez brothers immigrated to California from Mexico as children and have been producing their signature cross-cultural grooves since the 1990's when they formed the Juvenile Style DJ crew in South Central Los Angeles. Eventually the two combined their nicknames to form Akwid, and began putting out bold, innovative records of original material that are both fun and fierce, catchy and uncompromising. Akwid appears to be in position to reign over the turntables and microphones of Latin hip-hop the way Jay-Z and Nelly have done in America. For the better part of a decade they have seamlessly blended traditional Mexican music with the raw, street style of American gangsta rap, topping it off with their own brand of clever, quick-fire, Spanish, freestyle rhyme.
