The Brother With Two Tongues. El brother con dos lenguas, is back with
a gang of new flavor on this new rap album. Produced by the soul
Assassins (DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill, Ralph M, Julio G., Bronek and
Mellow Man himself), the album further presents Mellow Man’s
“Spanglish," the intertwining of two languages until they sound as one. His
tricky rap style is called repeticiones, in which he states a lyric in English
then repeats it en Espanol, Keeping the same meter and rhyme. The first
single, ‘‘What's It Take To Pull A Hottie (Like You)?," is spiced with a dash
of hip-hop and a hearty helping of sass.
