Review: Dyland y Lenny - My World
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Take a step into the world of Dyland junto a Lenny! Here are reggaeton's newest stars backed up by no other than Luny himself. I was a bit hesitant towards this duo but after listening to their album, I deffinitely agree! Dyland (the rapper) and Lenny (the singer) have a great chemistry and show that on every song. Lenny the singer has a great voice and Dyland provides those tough agressive lyrics. The beats on this album are awesome, we see a lot of techno influence but at the same time we hear some pounding dembow which is a must for any reggaeton fan. We see quite a bit of versatility on this album ranging from romantic songs like 'Nadie Te Amara Como Yo' and the newest single 'Quiere Pa Que te Quieran' aswell as some club songs for example 'Sexo En La Disco' and 'Caliente' featuring Arcangel 'La Maravilla', what surprised me was that they even included a street side! Which was the intro to the album which sounded really good. Overall i'd give this album a 8.5/10 which is deffinitely worth your money, below I have included the album preview.
Review: Cosculluela - El Principe
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

The lyrical heavyweight also known as Cosculluela releases his album today. He has been shattering expectations, I mean they were high but I did not expect him to already reach number two on the iTunes charts! Fellow reggaetoneros Wisin y Yandel and their album 'La Evolucion' was at a staggering #13, the number one spot belonging to Thalia. This album is amazing! Cosculluela gave us all that we were expecting, and MORE. Malianteo, Romantiqueo, Perreo, Discotequeo, the man did it all. This album had the right amount of collabos, with the participation of De La Ghetto, O'neill, Jowell y Randy, Ivy Queen, and Zion y Lennox. He shows his soft side on songs like 'Pienso En Ti', 'En Ocasiones' but also sticks to his malianteo roots with 'Sube y Baja' and Plaka Plaka'. The song that surprised me most was 'Yo No Se Bailar' a electro style song made for the clubs. It's hot! Deffinitely got me moving, i'm sure if he makes that a single the charts will eat it up. Overall this album is a must buy for any fan of good music, El Princi doesn't disappoint with this album, CD of the year if you ask me.
Review: Tony Dize - La Melodia De La Calle Updated
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Time for a new review my Real Talkers! Last year Tony Dize released his debut album 'La Melodia De La Calle' under the label WY Records later on they decided to give him the boot and he made the move to Pina Records, the home of artists like RKM y Ken-Y and Nicky Jam. Would Tony be able to prove his ex bosses wrong? With this Special Edition we were able to see a different Tony Dize, one that was UPDATED. It featured the hits that the first album had, and with the help of Mambo Kingz they were made perfect, small touches on the beats can make a big difference. Also it features collaborations with Arcangel, Ken-Y, Cosculluela, Wisin y Yandel, Plan B, Don Omar and Cruzito. When it came to producers, Tony went to Mambo Kingz, Haze and Myztiko. This has to be the best special edition I have heard. Why is that you might ask? It's the only Special Edition that makes me feel like i'm listening to a new album. Most of the time it seems like artists are trying to make some quick money by adding two or three new songs and push it to the market. You can see that Tony and Pina put a lot of time and effort into it. The lyrics are on point, you can thank Wise for that. Tony goes outside of his comfort zone doing songs from different genres including Bachata, Mambo and Vallenato but also keeps his reggaeton roots. Purchase this album if you are a fan of good music, you will not be disappointed. Tony Dize!
Review: Magnate y Valentino - Quimica Perfecta
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

I know, I know it's been a while since I have done a review but guess what ..it ain't my fault! Lol, this year was looking so promising in the begining the release of albums like 'El Patron' and 'Down To Earth' and the flood of new tracks then BOOM it died down. This album was anounced since last year and has been getting pushed back since then. Enough of that let's get to the album. Let me start of by saying WTF 10 songs? First 'iDON' now this? Is this honestly the new trend? I hope not it takes them years to make an album and they can't even give us a decent ammount? 15-18 would be good if you asked me. Also no collabs? I understand that you are 'coming back' but come on at least one collaboration. This album has some reggaeton songs but also some very poppish and some tropical songs that I am not a fan of. The songs that I recomend from this album would be 'Oh, Oh', 'Nobody', and 'El Castigo' (this might be the oldest song on the album, and sadly the hottest song). So what is my final conclusion on this album? Good but not great. I wouldn't spend my money on a 10 track album, especially with no collaborations. The production wasn't all that great either. The hot songs on this album were hot and the ones that sucked really sucked, I can't even listen to them. This seems more like a mixtape than a album if you ask me. But hey, I suggest you give it a chance and a listen and if you like it purchase it and support M y V!
Below is the album preview.
Review: Trebol Clan - Fantasia Musical
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Even though Trebol Clan's new album "Fantasia Musical" technically leaked a couple weeks ago, the album officially dropped today, so here's the review. A lot of people have had very different opinions on this album, some people like it while others really hate it. I personally feel that the album is definitely solid but at the same time it does not come even close to what Trebol Clan is truly capable of doing. The problem with this album is that they tried to go a little too commerical with it and unfortunately for them, that really doesn't suit their style really well. Although they did have some real good reggaeton tracks on this album like "Digale," "Fuga," and "Gata Sata," they failed miserably with tracks like "Otro Beso" and "Por Ti." Maybe Tito El Bambino and RKM y Ken-Y can go the pop route but these dudes should just stick to what their good at and thats perreo with a lil bit of romantiqueo like they did in their cyber album "The Comeback." All in all, the album is straight. A lot of the songs are catchy and the majority of the beats are pretty good. It might not be their best album and it might not be a classic like "Los Bacatranes," but for what its worth and for what they tried to do with it, the album is acceptable, and Trebol Clan should deserve some credit for at least trying to go in a new direction. So try and support these guys and go buy it. Here are some of the best tracks:

Review: Franco El Gorila - Welcome To The Jungle
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

La makina de WY Records is releasing his first album tomorrow and let me tell you this, I am quite surprised. Not being a big fan of Franco ‘El Gorila’ my expectations were low. But this album is great; the tracks have some dope beats behind them, provided by producers like Nesty, Victor ‘El Nasi’, Tainy and Los Jedais. Also Franco has a way of making anyone who’s listening to his music just want to get up! Collaborations include Wisin y Yandel, Jayko, El Tico, Tony Dize, Yaviah and Cosculluela. Very well rounded album if you ask me. Some of my favorite songs off the album were ‘Millonario’, ‘He Querido Quererte’ and ‘Torturame’. Don’t think that this album is going to feature nothing but Perreo and Malianteo. Franco shows his soft side in some songs as well! It definitely has changed my view on Franco ‘El Gorila’ glad to see that they finally let the Gorila loose! Make sure to pick up this album it is worth your money and deserves a spot on any reggaeton fans collection. Here are some songs for you to get a taste of the album.

Review: Tito 'El Bambino' - El Patron
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Well here is the Album Review for Tito El Bambino's newest album 'El Patron', Can't believe it came out earlier than it was supposed to but I must say this album is straight fire and its the 1st official Reggaeton album of 2009, with the lack of new album releases this past couple of months this will sure be a must buy album, Great album in my opinion but unfortunally this album will never be as good as 'Top Of The Line' that for me its the best Tito 'El Bambino' album released but yet its slightly better than 'It's My Time' from 2007, The featurings from Zion & Lennox and Plan B were pretty good and didn't disappoint specially the Plan B song that I believe was the best song of the album, great song produced by Haze (Plan B's producer), I was surprised with Tito's new style as he is no longer doing that 'innocent' style that he had for years and is now doing perreos and stuff, This album had some great songs it had alot of Reggaeton with dembow as promised it had a great bachata, a merengue song that sounded almost identical to 'En La Disco' but it was alright and it had some nice romantic songs and the song 'Somos Iguales' had a great message with I really liked, Songs like Mata and Baila Sexy weren't all that great as they felt that they were just fill ins for the album but were passable, Overall this album was great and as the 1st album of 2009 you can tell that Reggaeton is coming strong this year and I like how this year is looking when it comes to the upcoming albums and songs, it looks as if Reggaeton artists were sleeping and they finally waked up and are now ready to take over, This might be the year of Reggaeton and might be as good if not better than 2004 but thats only possible only if all the albums that have been announced all are released when they're supposed to without any push backs but only time will tell!
Review: Flex - La Evolucion Romantic Style
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Okay so heres the cd review for Flex's new album: La Evolucion Romantic Style. Now I know a lot of you reggaeton fans, including myself, hated Flex when he came out with his song "Te Quiero." His first album was real whack it only had two tracks with dembow and everything was reggae. Now I guess he understands that what makes him popular is reggaeton, so this album is filled with way more reggaeton than the first album. When compared to his first album, this album is acutally pretty decent considering hes Flex lol. I am not going to lie, I mean although the cd isnt the greatest and probably doesnt satisfy real reggaeton fans, it actually has some good tracks on it. I never liked Flex personally, but all reggaeton fans have to admit that if it wasnt for Flex, reggaeton wouldnt even have been noticed last year, he kept reggaeton on top of the charts, and even a Flex hater like me, respects him for that. So give this dude a chance and at least have a listen, he really is not that bad. Here are the seven selected tracks from the album so you can preview them:

Review : Cheka - Yo Soy Musica
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

So this cd was pretty much unexpected. Cheka released a few songs earlier this year and the album was said to release in April of this year but it didn't happen. So he stayed quiet for a few months then dropped the banger 'Flow' featuring 'El Duo Del Sex', Plan B. He announced that his album would be releasing in December but like most people I didn't believe it since I didn't see any promotion for it nor did I see a cover for it. Well, here it is! I'm not gonna lie I was expecting more from this album. In my opinion it could have used some more collabos with hot names, some more creative lyrics and some different producers also. The album has a lot of influence from produced Fade 'El Que Pone La Presion' and Cheka produces a few tracks aswell as his brother Juno. Some songs are pretty hot but some didn't really make the cut in my opinion. Don't get me wrong the cd isn't bad just could have been better. Good album to let people know he's coming back but not really a comeback album. Check it out and i'm not sure if this is hitting shelves anytime soon cause I haven't recieved the cover yet. Here are some handpicked songs for you to get a feel as always.

7. Hay Party Hoy (Prod by Fade)

Review: Marcy Place - B From Marcy Place
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Here is another cd review that has been anticipated by many music lovers. This is Don Omar's answer to urban bachata, i'm talking about the new group that consists of the members Billy, Joey, JC or you might know them as Marcy Place. Here is their first album and it's really good. It has some old songs that were releasing months ago and also some new ones. Good for the fans who have not heard much from them before. This group is very talented and with the support of artists like Wisin y Yandel, Divino and Don Omar, they are sure to make it big. The album released today! So make sure to pick it up and support these talented guys. Here are some tracks for you to listen to.

Review: Arcangel - El Fenomeno
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

I don't know how to begin this review. This album completely lived up to my expectation. Despite people criticizing our bias reviews, this album is good and I'm not afraid to say it. And you can't deny it! After a failed attempt to an earlier album release, Arcangel is here with his FIRST studio production. That's hard to believe considering that he's been in this game for a few years now. But that's how this genre is nowadays. From the Intro to the end this album is great!! He personally hand picked his favorite songs from "La Maravilla", the internet released album that came out earlier this year and reused them in this album. "Por Amar A Ciegas",the first single, has already become the song for many people and the video was just recently released. Arcangel will only get better from here on... So remember to absolutely go buy this album. Last time Arcangel tried to release an album he cancelled it because it was quickly pirated. Millions of downloads!! You know why? Because its La Maravilla, this dude has pure talent and people like his stuff even if they diss it. La Envidia...Album is releasing this coming Tuesday, December 9th!!

Review: Yomo - My Destiny
Thursday, 11 March 2010 21:17

Yomo's album, he has waited years to finally release his first album... This leaked early in the morning and we posting the review now, which to many of you is kind of late, Lol. Yomo does his best to keep the old style of Reggaeton alive while also using the new style. This album also includes some Spanish Hip Hop. Personally, not a big fan of Yomo, but if you like him at all, check out the album. I don't see this album coming close to Album of The Year. Although, this album does include one of the hottest songs of the year, Tu Te La Trae (Remix)!! So check it out, and remember to go buy this album. Yomo needs support because for releasing this album, he's going to be sued by his label for releasing an album that he's not supposed to release! Check out the track, My Destiny and hear HIS story.
Sorry for the delay and remember to stay tuned to your favorite website, Real Talk Reggaeton!!! We ain't slipping, we just carefully working on some BIG things ;)
