Biography

Jose Nieves (Rakim) and Kenny Vazquez (Ken-Y), both from Gurabo Puerto Rico, with only 2 years of experience, have turned into one of the most important duos in Reggaeton, far surpassing their competetion. By the time they debuted in the compilation album “Warriors 4” most of the established duos in Puerto Rico were starting to break up (such as Héctor y Tito, Baby Rasta y Gringo and Karel y Voltio for example).

Their debut song was not a big hit but they were quickly compared to the more famous at the time Zion y Lennox, refering to the way that one of them has a nice singing voice (Ken-y, Zion) and the other one raps (Rakim, Lennox).

Their first label was The Money Machine which was owned by veteran Notty Play. That year they also appeared on Ban2 Korrupto which was released by their label. They kept making more appearances like on “The Noise Live” but were still practically unknown.

They decided to release a mixtape to the streets and Internet called “Los Reyes del Mambo”. This mixtape, produced completely by Ken-Y (who not only sings but also Dj’s), caught the eye of Nicky Jam, who showed it to Raphy Pina, the owner of the infamous Pina Records label, which was up until now known as the War label, being that most of their artists (such as Lito y Polaco and Nicky Jam himself) were famous for their for beefs with artists from other labels.

Raphy liked the mixtape so much that he wanted the rookie duo in his label, so, after their contract with Money Machine was over, he convinced them to sign with Pina.

Their first appearance with the label was in the compilation album “Pina All - Stars 2”, which was a compilation of many hit songs released by Pina Records. Raphy used this cd to release some new songs by Rakim y Ken-Y to the public.

    There are four different pages for them because of different spellings can't they be merged? (Rakim Y Ken-Y, Rakim & Ken-Y, R.K.M & Ken-Y, RKM & Ken-Y)
