Of Mexican Descent

Although they placed a poignant and genre-defying spin on L.A. hip-hop for over a decade, Of Mexican Descent (2Mex and Xololanxinxo) remain relatively obscure to mainstream fans. The duo's 1997 vinyl-only EP, Exitos y Mas Exitos, however, has become a benchmark of underground hip-hop in Los Angeles' post-Goodlife Cafe era. Through this release and countless live appearances, they've become legendary in underground circles for their effortless maneuvering between psychedelic rock and the provocative posturing of veteran Goodlife emcees.
