What a week! We finally have our hands on Three Creus, the new work by Hoke, one of the most influential artists in Spanish rap today. And, as is his style, he has released it with hardly any promotion and without Three Creus It is the natural continuation of what we already saw in BBO, with a sound that mixes the boom bap classic with touches electronics and modulations that provide freshnessFor this album, Hoke surrounded himself with a list brutal from producers like Lex Luthorz, Gese Da O and even himself. Each topic has its own personality, but maybe we miss a hand unifying, like the one that Louis Amoeba contributed in BBO. That's right, the quality It is beyond discussion, and in the end it is a matter of taste.
As for the letters, Hoke continues to play with his particular ability to double meanings and references. However, there is one change: the Hoke of now is not the same one who wrote BBO.

The only drawback? Its duration.

In any case, what there is is very well done, although it leaves us wanting more.
