Sometime things come better in pairs. Especially when the two pieces add
up to more than the sum of their parts. Tito y Polaco prove this to be
true in their latest release “Fuera de Serie” The record feels
relaxed and confident, Tito y Polaco have matured, as they share rhyming
duties and the result are nothing but an all around experience of what
a Reggaeton record can offer. “Tu Me Guayastes” featuring
Nicky Jam is a steady burning dancehall number. It’s sexy and catchy
with an all around reggaeton beat that recalls the very best production
by Harry Digital. The party beats continue until “La Calle Esta
Dificil” and Andamos Prestao” here we see that there are more
sides to Tito y Polaco than dance floor beats. A hip hop tale of life
in the barrio violence and redemption, the two songs find the duo rhyming
about the unforgiving realities of thug life. The tracks come replete
with banging beats that often switch from reggaeton to
hip hop, once again the production feels fresh and clean this time courtesy
of DJ Dicky. The best moment comes from Lito with “Auxilio”
a slow tempo track that conjures a world where a 911 operator listens
helplessly as drug addiction and domestic violence take their toll on
the city residents in Puerto Rico. The song builds up the tension over
Lito’s superb rhymes that unfold into the kind of storytelling that
we come to expect from the very best of hip hop. Which brings us “Na
Que Buscar Con Mi Lampara” the continuation of the now famous battle
between Vico C and Tito y Polaco. After last year’s “El Bueno
El Malo y El Feo” became one the best put downs in recent memory,
Tito y Polaco come back with an vicious attack on old Vico C and his crew.
Like the best in the tradition battle songs it’s a mix of funny
put downs that escalate the current animosity among certain puertorican
Mc’s. Overall at 57 minutes this record stands up to the best of
them. The variety of proven dance stompers and pure hip hop story telling
between the best production by beat masters such as Noriega/ Eliel/ Luny
Tunes and Harry Digital demonstrate Lito Y Polaco willingness to expand
their sonic palate has paid off. With any luck they’ll keep themselves
together and continue to advance the world of reggaeton up to the next
level.
