If you didn’t hear us the first, second, third, or the fourth time around, we’ll say it again – the Cambodian Hip Hop spirit is alive and well, and it’s impossible to ignore all the fire that’s burning up from the Kingdom of Wonder.
La Cima Cartel is one of the many Khmer collectives that are paving the way for its burgeoning scene. Founded by RXTHY, the collective manages some of the illest underground MCs in Cambodia. And on April 10, they released the third volume of Cartel Meeting Volume 3, a mixtape featuring the artists from their collective.
The rappers on it are Hasha, YCN Tomie, Meezy24k, All3rgy, YCN Dizzy, Mut Phearin, and YCN Rakhie. Although it’s only April, one could argue that this body of work has the potential to be one of the projects of the year. It’s a brilliant mix of different sounds and genres and the MCs don’t hold back on any of the tracks either.
