Mexico-born, Milwaukee-bred Kinto Sol's new album, Los Hijos del Maiz (Children of the Corn), is a "militant call to reclaim the pride of Aztec roots and fight for immigrants' rights" says Billboard.com. Starmedia acclaims the trio's evolution of Chicano rap to the next level, while La Opinion Digital writes that no other Latin rap group rivals the originality of Kinto Sol.

Pacha Massive's All Good Things, "sounds as if a Dido album got lost somewhere in the Caribbean" writes the Miami New Times. Radio DJ and blogger Jeremy Petersen describes the Bronx-duo debut album as "a modern take on traditional forms combining elements of trip-hop, hip-hop, and drum & bass with Latin flavors ranging from Colombian cumbia to Afro-Cuban son to Jamaican reggae".

The third album from Canadian cult rapper K-OS, Atlantis (Hymns for Disco), "dabbles in Motown rhythm and blues, pop rock and some extremely hazardous MC-ing," writes Sputnik Music. Cincinnati's Each Note Secure blog recommends "that if you are gonna grab one hip hop album this year, make it this one."

Yoko Ono's collaboration album with the crème de la crème of alternative music icons, Yes, I'm a Witch, is receiving high marks everywhere. The album "makes a startlingly effective case for Ono's songwriting skills", praises The Guardian while Perfect Porridge asks the following question: "Could it be that liking Yoko Ono is finally a cool, mainstream thing to do?"

The A.V. Club gives Swedish indie-pop trio Peter, Bjorn and John an A- for the "quasi-retro folk-rock" of their third album Writer's Bloc while Rolling Stone appreciates the band's wide-eyed optimism.

Oye, you guys have to do me a biggy. Diganly un SALUDASO GRANDISIMO a Mi amigo, CUBA a.k.a Don Money, Don Dinero or to me as Jose Gutien my buddy from The Heights GW HS Trojans Football Team . I used to protect this guy's life, ask him, me and my brothers were the O-line for HS for him and The NYC Falcons, and The Black Marble. We go way back and when I saw his last video giving props to the music in The Heights, Creo that he should have given GW HS some or more props too. Hablen con el. He can reach me at [mun2: contact us and we'll provide the number] and tell him and his brother que Dice jr ( Lou ) is getting married in Jamaica on 07/20/2007 he can reach him at 646-***-****. Adios. Do me that solid. Thanks.
