True fans of the rap group, Krown Kings, should be far from narcissistic if they expect to enjoy their music for long. The emerging presence and growing popularity of this duo have engulfed the streets but soon enough, the newly Krowned Kings will claim fame to a whole different audience of listeners and producers alike. Their verses speak the truth of their life experiences and their content will strike a chord in the heart of anyone who’s grown up in the streets. Sure it sounds like the tell-all tale of rappers across the nation but this time it’s different. The Krown Kings capture their audience with a depth others could only imagine. And in this day and age of studio gangsters and fairy tale lovers, the Kings are here to bring rap home. But words can only speak a fraction of what the soul will reveal so listening to any one of their tracks is a prerequisite for to truly understand that any attempt to de-throne this duo will come with failure. In short, The Krown Kings are one of the most seminal rap duos when it comes to underground and Latin rap. Their words evoke a mood of fulfillment and their poverty-to-power stories allow them to command the respect that others demand. It’s a situation of game recognizes game, and anyone up on it will realize that the Krown Kings offer reality over rap and respect for their music, the lifestyle and all the fans that will soon claim them kings in the music biz.
