Straight from DC come this lethal Latin warriors who are
making a name for themselves as the soldiers of Latin hip
hop. They are an empire of Latin rappers and they are
stunning people with their original style. They are called
“El Imperio” which means The Empire, and their style is a
mix of hip hop with central and south American Latin flavor
that just gives people a feel of something new in this
market of Latin hip hop. Listen to the incredible music that
El Imperio delivers and you will become a believer of the
power behind these lyrical warriors.
El Imperio is made up of four young Latin rappers, an
excellent unification of three Salvadorans and a Colombian
who grew up in the tough streets of DC. They go by the names
: IronMan, Skorpio, N-Ferno and Fantazma. IronMan and
Skorpio formed this empire in 1994, they both began doing
shows in Latin festivals and night clubs. Their songs are
based on street reality and difficult situations that Latin
immigrants go thru here in the U.S. They recorded their
first demo in 1997 which consisted of two songs which were
mainly used for promotional purposes and the difficult
struggle to be recognized by many professional record labels
in the music industry.
In 1996, two other elements joined this empire to become
stronger (N-Ferno and Fantazma). A second album was recorded
in 2000 but the songs contained profanity which kept it from
getting any radio airplay and kept this project with a
limited promotion plan. Now in their third album, after many
years of hard battles and training “El Imperio” is ready to
deliver Latin hip hop to all areas that have been craving
for a style with such Spanish rhythm and lyrics. Get
ready and shine your lyrical swords because the imperial
attack is coming thru on this mission to push Latin hip hop
to the fullest. .
