Following on the heels of recent singles “Primero Lo Primero,” “Detrás de Cámaras,”  “Niños” feat. Xzibit and “La Playa” feat. Scoop DeVille, Mexico’s most decorated freestyle rapper and hip hop artist ACZINO is back today with “Neza,” featuring Chicano rap pioneer Kid Frost.

Speaking on the collaboration with Kid Frost, ACZINO says, “He is one of the most important Chicano rappers in history, one of the first to rap in Spanish. He left me with a phrase for posterity, “Don’t try this at 60,” and started rapping. In this song, we represent our own neighborhoods. L.A. in his case, and Neza in mine. Doing this was, for me, to give global visibility to my origins.”

The 2024 LP is co-produced by Scoop DeVille, son of Kid Frost – who, last year, was celebrated for his role as a pioneer of “West Coast Hip-Hop” and the founder of “Chicano Rap” for the genre’s 50th anniversary – and Ettore Grenci, who has also worked with huge Latin artists, both managed to make a fusion of musicality, beats, languages and styles that represent the project to perfection.

“I would define my new album as searching for the classic hip-hop essence, I mean ‘real’ hip-hop,” says ACZINO of the upcoming full-length. “It isn’t experimental, it’s focused on classic rhythms and syllable variation. The lyrics are complex and the verse is the protagonist.”
