Crooked Stilo
Crooked Stilo is a rap group comprised of brothers Victor and Johnny Lopez.
They were born in El Salvador, but came to the United States at a young
age when their family decided they wanted a better life. Growing up in Los Angeles,
they were influenced by their cultural music, as well as the urban style.
Eventually they decided to rap, but they wanted to combine both styles
and make it their own.
They are largely known for their successful formula of "remixing" old school cumbias and other spanish-style songs. Where other groups simply sample a song and just rap over it, Crooked Stilo goes further and do the song justice by creating an "Urban" updated version by adapting the song's original content with today's surroundings. "Ya Lo Saben", "Mis Colegialas", and "Traicionera" are all good examples of how nobody does the old school better than Crooked Stilo.
