Akon

If you’re in Nueva York this week, well, you must know the Puerto Rican Day Parade is hitting the streets on Sunday (6/14). In honor of my boricua hermanos I’ll bring you some interviews with a few of music’s most talented Puerto Rocks. First up, Arcangel told me, “If I don’t go to the Puerto Rican Day Parade there ain’t no parade.” With that said, the half-bori also picked his favorite Puerto Rican artists.

5. Julieta Venegas will not perform but Paulina Rubio will. La Chica Dorada is great to look at but to listen to (live) not so much. But hey at least Pau is a better singer than Beyoncè.

Below is the video for Fat Joe’s official first single “One” featuring Akon, from his upcoming album Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 out on May 19th. It’s a hood love story: Joe sways girl, girl’s mom hates Joe, Joe gets locked up and released (because he’s a rapper), girl gets pregnant…and they compare bellies. The End.

Uno,

Jesus
