Los Yo Yais, the first group signed to Wu Tang’s Latin imprint, is ready for their first video. According to Wu Tang Latino the visuals for “Mamita Ven” will have a cinematic feel. American Honda Motor Co. is on board financially, their 2006 Honda Civic will appear in the video.

President of the label, Ray Acosta plays a mob boss who summons Shown Black & NP Killa (Los Yo Yais) to look after his two nieces for the day. The girls initiate a wild night on the town, and when their Uncle finds out, someone has to pay. An excited Acosta says, “'Los Yo Yais are an incredible talent who are bringing a refreshing, soulful ingredient to reggaeton. With Honda backing this project it will allow us to create a mini-movie and take reggaeton music videos to whole new level. We are happy to be pioneering this movement and hopefully this will open up doors for corporate sponsorships of urban-Latin-based music.”

Rza and other members of the Wu are featured in the video as well. “Mamita Ven” is produced by Pure Productions, LLC, and past collaborator Edwin Decena is set to direct. He feels the project will bring “Wu-Tang Latino to the forefront of the reggaeton movement.” Honda’s new Civics will also be unveiled at the SEMA Car show in Las Vegas on November 1st. Shooting for “Mamita Ven” begins October 22nd in NYC.

Wu tang forever but they need to stop letting rza produce they she. I aint feelin rza. Raekhon got something coming out in december. I hop rza didnt produce the album because if he did the album will flop like most of wu tang stuff recently.

Most people in the world who listen to hip-hop, like rza's music. Hip-hop music has grown and matured pass just the syncopation of the drum; the drum is primitive now! rza uses stringed and other instruments in the forefront of his music, thus pushing the abtuse drum to the back of the bus. His music reeks with intelligence, the high intonation he chooses sets the stage for glass, mirrors and small minded low base abtuse brains to be cracked, smashed and fractured into the small insignificant pieces that they are, its like musical hip-hop opera. Yes, even hip-hop has its intellectuals!....
