El Puto Coke - 100 Beats (2009)

This MC and producer from the city of Vigo, in the far top-left corner of Spain called Galicia, goes by El Puto Coke (which translates roughly as The Fuckin Coke). He's been an active and increasingly central member of the local and regional hip-hop scene since his early teens. Now, at 30, he can look back onto collabs with some of Spain's finest, and he ain't even blown up yet. So there's more and bigger things to look forward to.


This collection of 100 (!) beats (~370 MBs, hence two portions) gives an impressive cross-section of his work. What I was really surprised to find was the great diversity of beats he showcases on this legal beat-"tape". No two beats sound the same, and they make for great listening because Coke likes to keep the beats fresh and flips them around every few moments.

By "translate" I didn't mean "if you type it into babelfish."
Puto is an intensifier that serves as anything at all, just like fucking, or goddamn or bloody, if you will.

Clearly, I'm being outsmarted here. Spanish beats really are a burden to the untrained ear. I mean, all the foreign accents and all these incomprehensible words you have to put up with on this *beat album*...
There's no way I can win this fact-packed argument. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
