2ble-kra

2ble-kra is a Costa Rican duo made up of Mckoy (Ricardo Brown) and BJ (Bernardo Jara). They started putting out music in the early 2000s, mixing rap, reggae, and rock in a way that felt local and direct. Their debut album 'Asunto Resuelto' came out in 2004, and the title track became one of their better-known songs.

Their lyrics often touched on social and political themes, which sometimes drew criticism from conservative groups and authorities. They kept writing about those subjects anyway, and songs like 'Celular Maricon' and 'Mi Problema' found an audience that connected with that straightforward approach.

They followed up with albums like 'Sin Estética' and 'El Mismo Idioma,' sticking with that blend of genres and maintaining a steady presence. The duo's sound pulls from hip-hop and Latin rhythms without trying to smooth over the edges, which gives their music a particular kind of grit.
