Since that kind of goes against the Ghetto Bassquake spirit of sharing, below’s a special Rakataka treat so you non-tweeting non-New Yorker types don’t feel left out. (sorry to …

Chancletas y Camiestas Bordada
It was on this site that my public fascination with Plena first materialized, (it’s actually really interesting to track) after a pre-carnaval wedding trip to Panama. Then I met Los Rakas in San Francisco, ended up recording with them in Oakland, and this past Friday I celebrated with them at the release party for the …
Yo Hablo Californiano
Rico “Filthy Rich” of Los Rakas recently released his mixtape, El Flow Californiano. This one’s great for cruising down International Boulevard in Oakland on a sunny summer day, (I write this as a heavy rain starts to pour in Monrovia where I am for a couple of months). At minimum, car bumping is a must. …

As you can see it’s mad sunny and full of nuts dances I can’t do. If you haven’t got it yet, grab their Hold Yuh refix by Uproot Andy that Boima posted and their highly awesome …
Can’t Stop Holding Yuh
Andy… what!?! We already posted the Los Rakas remix of Gyptian’s Hold Yuh, but Uproot Andy had to go ahead and make this thing bang even harder! My new favorite of my new favorite (although I just heard Ricky Blaze’s vocal version and it go too!) Premiered two weeks ago on Eddie Stats’ Ghetto Palms …
One for Saturday Night
