the critics	Allmusic.com: "[A]s gritty as Hernandez' lyrics are, his vocal style isn't angry, threatening, or confrontational but rather, exhibits a folksy sort of charm. 16 Narco Corridos isn't going to win over people who have been critical or disdainful of narcocorridos, but it is well worth a listen if one is already a fan of the controversial, hard-hitting narratives."	Allmusic.com: "At 17, he made his professional debut in Tijuana, Mexico alongside El Lobito de Sinaloa. In 2001, Tapia began assembling musicians for his debut album. Mixing Latin rhythms with touches of hip-hop and electronica, Tapia released his self-titled album on Sony International in August 2002. He has toured throughout Mexico, the United States and Latin America."
in their own words	"We tell the truth of what happens in the streets. It is what people like to listen to because it refelcts their reality. It is something that has always existed, but you have to be careful, like anything else in life. I take things in stride because my songs don't offend anyone." - Larry Hernández	"My corridos are done with a lot of respect, I only talk about their way of life, but there is no offense intended. I don't have any problems, nor am I scared that someone will take revenge against me. I do have security at each event, but apart from that I am not scared." - Roberto Tapia
