Hip Hop Hoodíos

They are composed of Josué Noriega (born Josh Norek), Abraham Vélez, and Federico Fong (former member of La Barranca, Jaguares and Caifanes).

Their 2002 debut EP 'Raza Hoodía' contains three songs based on different Latin styles as well as rock en español ("Ocho Kandelikas" being co-written by Juan Manuel Caipo from Orixa) and rap music; and two more rap-oriented tracks, including "Dicks & Noses."

The 2005 full-length 'Agua Pa' La Gente' album features guest artists Frank London (The Klezmatics) and Paul Shapiro (Brooklyn Funk Essentials).

In 2022, Hip Hop Hoodíos' single "Knishin' In the Mission" was chosen by The Forward as one of 'The 150 Greatest Jewish Pop Songs of All Time."

Most recently the song "Times Square (1989)" was included in Only Murders in the Building (season 4, episode 1) and the motocross game Riders Republic.
