LDA is an exceptional act in the Reggaeton scene -- they look and sound unlike any other artists currently working in the world's hottest genre. For one, they are the only duo to feature both a male and a female lead vocalist, seamlessly integrating Baby Psycho's aggressive freestylin' skills with counterpart Orquídea Negra's smooth romantic stylings. For another, they are the only Reggaeton act that can claim to be of American origin. Though they are both of Dominican descent, the duo were raised in New York City, influenced significantly more by artists the likes of 2Pac, Nas and Busta Rhymes, as opposed to the more traditional Latin Music that currently defines the genre. But LDA have not come to define the genre -- they have come to reinvent it.
LDA brings a new approach to Reggaeton, one honed on the underground of the New York club scene. Their version of Reggaeton is equal parts Latin hip-hop, east coast rap, sexy sultry vocals and even twinges of electronica. Together, the pair has achieved a sound so unique amongst their peers, it earned them honors as personal protégés to Reggaeton's most esteemed producer, Boy Wonder, who spotlighted them in his landmark Chosen Few: El Documental CD/DVD documentary -- and who already has them set to be the featured act for his highly-anticipated Chosen Few 2.
The Chosen Few project was LDA's first big breakthrough, prominently featuring four of the duo's songs on the milestone CD/DVD combo and further providing them with the opportunity to remix a fifth, Don Omar's global rallying anthem, "Reggaeton Latino." It also contains their curio track, "Flossy," which -- with its blatant electronica overtones -- may be the most extraordinarily unorthodox song produced within the bounds of the Reggaeton genre.
LDA's best-known song from Chosen Few, "Hoy," marked their first smash single (hitting the Top 5 on R&R's Latin Club Chart), as well as pairing them with another hot rising Reggaeton star, Cheka. LDA and Cheka would both go on to make a splash in the hugely-popular El Draft 2005 competition, conceived by esteemed genre producer Chencho -- half of famed duo, Plan B, and also alumni of the Chosen Few. According to Boy Wonder, Chencho wanted LDA's track, "Estoy En Mi Cama," for his new project so badly, "he even let me co-produce El Draft just to get it!"
LDA have developed a unified philosophy for their music of open-mindedness, daring experimentalism and the incorporation of differing cultural influences -- all while still keeping Reggaeton's essence at heart -- and framed by what Psycho describes as "a New York in-your-face hip-hop attitude." LDA's success from the Chosen Few juggernaut led to hit collaborations with Reggaeton icons including N.O.R.E., Fat Joe and Zion y Lennox. And, of course, they are a featured act in Boy Wonder's highly-anticipated Chosen Few 2 project. Two of their singles have already hit the charts from Chosen Few 2. The first single they work closely with Zion y Lennox in "Te Invitan Al Party" and the second single is the highly noted crossover "Freakitona" remix that Features Plan B, Trick Daddy, and Trina. Finally, LDA will take the time to record their eagerly-awaited debut CD, with highly-impressive roster of guest artists for which is being kept tightly under wraps. Coming soon to you : LDA "Revolucionando el Genero"
