RUEN was already part of Los Chicos Criollos’ story in 2022, producing “Super Asqueroso” on the duo’s album “Los Chicos Criollos.” Their announced album “Merca Música” gives him the production across an entire record by Kingdom Kome and Che Uno, extending that earlier relationship. Where the previous album involved several producers, this one places RUEN alongside the pair throughout, through Walking With Enoch Music. Kingdom Kome and Che Uno formed Los Chicos Criollos as an expression of their shared Argentine roots. In their Apple Music artist profile, they recall growing up with their parents’ Argentine folk music alongside the rap culture of the 1990s. That background has a specific political expression on “Verdadero Argentinos.” The duo describe the song as a tribute to Argentina’s Indigenous peoples, addressing the erasure of their cultures and histories through colonization and state violence. Elsewhere, “Olmedo Y Porcel” takes its name from Argentine comedians Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel. Its video was filmed at Toronto’s El Almacen Café by WIZDOME BUNITALL for Fuego Films. The guests bring existing relationships into focus, too. Daniel Son joins “GunPowda NoseBumpz”; Kingdom Kome explained that they had already made several tracks together and that Daniel was connected to Che Uno. On “Miami Uzi,” the duo bring in Argentine MC Zé Pequeña, whom Kingdom Kome singled out for her work in Argentina and across South America when explaining why they wanted her on the album.
