LOS ÚLTIMOS
"They called us the last ones—los últimos en la fila. So we picked ourselves. Now look who's first."
Hip-Hop Collective (5 Members)The Collective
Los Últimos formed at a Brooklyn open mic in 2019, when four strangers—Puerto Rican, Cuban-American, Brazilian, and Bronx-born—were called to perform last. "Alright, los últimos—you four, you're last. If people are still here, you can perform." The crowd of forty became sixty. A collective was born.
The pandemic that should have killed the project instead forged it. Unable to meet in person, they built a virtual studio, releasing "Cuarentena" in April 2020—a four-verse posse cut that went viral in Latin music circles. In 2021, they added Dominican DJ Johan "Yoyo" Castillo, completing the five-member lineup.
Their debut album PANGEA—named for the supercontinent before the Americas split—debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200, charting in five countries. They remain independent, own their masters, and operate as a true collective: equal creative input, equal profit sharing, unanimous decisions.
"We'd rather build something that lasts. Five guys who trust each other completely. That's worth more than any check."— Diego "D-Habana" Fuentes
