Vico C is the first Spanish-language rap star, full stop. The caseríos then fused Jamaican dancehall's dembow rhythm with rap, the police raided the record stores selling it, and the thing they were trying to stop became reggaetón — now the largest Spanish-language pop genre on earth.

TransferMiami
Jamaican dembow arrived through Panama, New York rap arrived on the radio, and Miami bass arrived on tape. Vico C rapped over all three in Spanish and the caseríos did the rest.
