Hailing from Northern, New Jersey, Vasco was always exposed to many shades of society. This Latino brother of PulsoBeat keeps it real while keeping it Latino relevant.

He was raised in Hackensack, a city where the wealthy and the impoverished live within a few blocks of each other and yet exist in realities that are worlds apart from each other. His turbulent up-bringing and multi-cultural background acted as his compass through his early life. At times he found himself amongst youths who ridiculed him for being either the only “white” kid around, or amongst others, the only “spanish” kid around. Vasco says he never felt completely comfortable amongst his peers until the day his friend forced him into an emcee battle after class. “I had only started to write rhymes a few months before, so I definitely got ripped.” says Vasco. Shortly after tasting defeat, Vasco began to sharpen his battling abilities and eventually became one of the most reputable emcees in the area. After a while Vasco lost interest in emcee battles and focused his attention on writing and recording his music. His self produced mix-tapes rapidly became a hot commodity at his high school selling out on numerous occasions.

Financial hardships that needed immediate remedy combined with the time constraints of being a full time college student led Vasco to become uninspired to continue his musical journey. Vasco stopped writing/recording music for a number of years. “Eventually, I realized these urges to write my thoughts down in rhyme form would never cease, so I gave in.” says Vasco. Now, bound to his passion, Vasco is more determined than ever to prove his value to Hip Hop and create a legacy to be admired by Hip Hop heads in New Jersey as well as all Latin-Americans for years to follow.

He claims many influences that range from Biggie Smalls to Ruben Blades to Jim Morrison. However, one listen will quickly tell you he has a style and sound all his own.

Vasco is quickly becoming a name in hip hop that is synonymous with lyrical wit and hard work. Never satisfied with his output of material he is constantly writing and recording. Since teaming up with new management and a new production team in late 2009, Vasco has released 6 mix-tapes in less than a year and a half. Each tape has been applauded for showing versatile subject matter and consistent lyrical prowess. Vasco is constantly booking shows in the Tri-State area. He is currently working on a full length album do out sometime in 2011. Be on the look out for his name, as people are beginning to take notice. When you hear him, it’s not hard to realize why.

Many of us love “bachata main stream” unlike most genres that are Latin POP, but now take into account this film that highlights the raw bachata sound coming out of Dominican Republic.

El Duque de la Bachata is the story of Joan Soriano, a Bachata musician from the Dominican Republic, as he struggles to reach his goal of a hit album and success as a musician. It is also the story of his large extended family living in the rural countryside of Monte Plata as they dream along with him, hoping that his success will improve their economic situation and quality of life.

Check out this link and if you are in New York or Texas, plan to see the video shows and screenings this week.

ME GUSTA, ME GUSTA!

“Willie Nelson” es un tributo a Willie, ya que Niña son grandes fans. El proyecto de hacer varias versiones de este track se inició en Enero del 2010 para formar parte de los microreleases de Happy-Fi.

El primero en apuntarse fue Chetes con un interpretación de la canción y una intervención del mismísimo Willie comentando su postura ante los problemas en el mundo. Después se agregó d3NdRON feat. Tha Booba, el proyecto de Chajoe, vocales de Niña y la colaboración de Tha Booba, un excelente rapero de Monterrey con un gran proyecto que muy pronto conocerás. Más adelante se une Lady Bombon con un remix dance de la canción. Finalmente se agregan al release los remixes “Elevadores del Futuro” y la versión karaoke del infierno, trabajados por Niña.

Esperamos que disfrutes este microrelease que Happy-Fi coleccionó para ti!
