Watch the dope clip below and check out their full tour dates after the jump.

Over the last week i somehow managed talk a hostel owner in chile to give me a job. I don't really do that much, answer a few phone calls, respond to some emails and talk shit to other tourists about my wealth of knowledge on shoestring travel in South America. Long story short i sit on the internet generally being unproductive. So in the spirit of productivity i'm sharing some tunes that i have been playing too much today.

I was lucky enough to take a trip to Bolivia over the last 2 weeks, and have now only just started to shake the remnants of a pretty ferkin horrible journey home. Bolivia is an amazingly beautiful country and everyone i met bar too many tourists with hiking boots and bad dreadlocks were awsome people. I managed to check a few cities and have included a bunch of photos taken mostly by my lady who lucky for you takes way better photos than me. To top off this post of greatness i included some tunes that got me through fever induced [...]

St. Patty's Day marked my final day in Austin. Although I forgot to wear green, I still maintained a festive attitude as I headed "uptown" to the Victory Grill for an outside show hosted by Sol Collective, highlighting several multi-cultural artists, including Zuzuka Poderosa and Los Rakas . A very far walk to the Auditorium Shores, I arrived to see the final half of Shiny Toy Guys . Following the dance-pop troupe, Austin's infamous funky dance-blues group, The Bright Light Social Hour , had the honor of supporting legendary act, The Cult, who are still churning [...]
After the epic failure that was searching for free day shows, I was convinced it was an omen of horrible things to come on my first South By experience. Luckily, the first showcase located at Buffalo Billiard's alleviated all doubts and provided some great music. While in line, I did my share of creepin' on people's conversations just to get a feel for who people were most excited to see. Early birds, of course, were all talking (and for good reason) about Andrea Balency. Per usual of South By showcases, the show started like 10 minutes late. When [...]
If you follow Donuts then you know Los Rakas is an Oakland duo via Panama that is killing it at the moment. Now it's dope to see that our homie Scheme from Chicago has hopped on a track and added his sazon to this Latino collab. S/O: SRNC
I do not know what Scheme is saying, but he sounds good saying it as raps alongside Los Rakas on their new "Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero". Listen to it below. If anyone wants to translate, I'll give you some tix to the Black Milk concert.

Los Rakas and Northern California legend E-40 build a Bay Area bridge linking the new-and-global and the old school classic with "Pimpin Smokin Dro." Los Rakas are known for their drive to bring reggaeton back ... read more
Pimpin Smokin Dro Ft E-40 by (Prod By Ned Cameron & Grizz Lee) This braggadocious back and forth slaps like an anthem, celebrating the foundation and future of Bay Area hip-hop, with E-40 proclaiming on the track: 'I'm from the Bay and I f*ck with real motherfuckers like Los Rakas!' Los Rakas debut album, 'Chancletas y Camisetas Bordada' was named by NPR Music as one of the 'Top 50 Releases of 20112 iTunes: Chancletas y Camisetas Bordada - Los Rakas
When it comes to pushing the boundaries and setting trends in both rap and fashion the Bay Area has been on point since... well since E-40. Smell me? The up and coming Panamanians, Los Rakas, smell this well, which is why they enlisted the vet, E to hop on a track only the Bay could create.
