3 Dope Songs from Nina Dioz; A True Emcee From Mexico Holding it Down

Nina DiozHailing from the underground scene in Monterrey, Mexico, and registered in the new wave of MCs, Nina Dioz is a snowball that has been growing in recent years. She quickly began to establish her stage name nationally and internationally.

In November 2007 she launched into the spotlight with their debut EP entitled “Pacemaker,” with 7 tracks among which is their hit “When, When” which was very well received by people and the media in general. A few weeks after the release of this EP, “When, When” started playing on the radio, being among the best songs of the year of Reactor 105.7 FM.

Being a single detached from an independent release hip-hop genre, this was a great achievement for the young rappera. “Pacemaker” also bore fruit in 2008, when Nina Dioz nominated for the Indie-O Music Awards in the category “Best Album of Hip-Hop.“In addition, in May this year was selected by Nike as the only Mexican artist in the international presentation of Nike Sportswear in Beijing, China.

Nina Dioz is a young girl that wastes no energy on stage and transmits a huge passion for music. She has opened for many national and international artists, and has also shared the stage with many others such as; The Chojin, Tote King, Cartel de Santa, National Sonidero, Plastilina Mosh, Hello Seahorse, Molotov, Mexican Institute of Sound, Julieta Venegaz, Anita Tijoux, Natalia Lafourcade, Ghostface Killa, Beatnuts and Groove Armada are just a few examples. Her  performances earned her stellar reviews including one from the  Los Angeles Times, who called her “… Mexico’s answer to colossal artists like MIA and Lady Sovereign …”.

Rise of the Brown Emcee pt 1 (Celebrating Latin Hip Hop)

A few months ago I sat on a panel at Harvard where we discussed the global impact of Hip Hop. There was lots of discussion about what folks are doing in Japan and Australia. We talked a bit about the major inroads made in places like Germany and France. Hip Hop on the continent of Africa was discussed. There was no denying just how widespread this culture born in the ravaged ghettos of the South Bronx had become.

During the discussion I noted that for us in the United States, while it was great to know about Hip Hop icons halfway across the world, in order to really appreciate the global reach of this culture perhaps we should start knowing about our Brown skinned neighbors next door and to the south of us in Mexico and throughout South America. I had always found it troubling that a professed Hip Hop head knew about artists in Canada but couldn’t name one from Mexico which has way more people.

I was always surprised that people knew about Snoop, Game and Dr Dre in Cali, but didn’t know about the equally large Hip Hop scene amongst Chicanos.

People know about Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and UGK in Texas, but many didn’t realize there has long been a Hip Hop exchange amongst Texans and heads in Monterey.

As Afrika Bambaataa likes to point out, those who hold up the mantlepiece of Hip Hop in corporate America have done us a disservice because they have segregated the music and in their quest to ‘do business’ they have distorted and omitted major parts that have been important to its build up. People like to say Hip Hop is worldwide in their radio station sales pitches but never reflect that variety and vibrancy on its day to day playlists.

When we talk about Hip Hop one of the key architects are those who see themselves as Latino. From day one our Brown brothers and sisters were on the ground floor plugging away and helping elevate the culture.-From grafitti to deejaying to dancing to emceeing Latinos have made an indeligible mark in Hip Hop that many have built upon. It may have been folks like Prince Whipper Whip of Fantastic Romantic 5 busting serious flows during Hip Hop’s pioneering days. It might have been DJ Charlie Chase or Disco Wiz holding it down on the turntables or pioneering figures like JoJo, Crazy Legs or Popmaster Fable wrecking shop on the dance floor.
