Listen to the incredible music that El imperio delivers and you will become a believer of the power behind these lirycal warriors.
El Imperio is made up of 4 young latin rappers, an excellent unification of three Salvadorans and a Colombian who grew up in the tough streets of DC. They go by the names : IronMan, Skorpio, N-Ferno and Fantazma. IronMan and Skorpio formed this empire in 1994, they both began doing shows in Latin festivals and night clubs. Their songs are based on street reality and difficult situations that latin immigrants go thru here in the U.S. They recorded their first demo in 1997 which consisted of two songs which were mainly used for promotional purposes and the difficult struggle to be recognized by many professional record labels in the music industry. In 1996, two other elements joined this empire to become stronger (N-Ferno and Fantazma). A second album was recorded in 2000 but the songs contained profanity which kept it from getting any radio airplay and kept this project with a limited promotion plan. Now in their third album, after many years of hard battles and training "El Imperio" is ready to deliver latin hip hop to all areas that have been craving for a style with such spanish rythm and lyrics.Get ready and shine your lirycal swords because the imperial attack is coming thru on this mission to push latin hip hop to the fullest.

El Imperio, consiste de cuatro jóvenes latinos, una buena unificación de tres Salvadoreños y un Colombiano quienes crecieron en las peligrosas calles de Washington, DC. Los cuatro muchachos llegaron a los Estados Unidos en los años de 1983-1984. Los cuatro imperiales se llaman: Skorpio, IronMan, N-Ferno, Y Fantazma. Skorpio e IronMan comenzaron este imperio en el año 1994, empezaron a hacer shows en festivales latinos y rapiar en radios locales y finalmente en clubes de noche. En 1996, dos elementos importantes- N-Ferno y Fantazma- formaron parte de El Imperio y completaron las partes necesarias para construir un imperio talentoso de artistas. Sus canciones están basadas en la realidad de las calles, y problemas de la vida por cuales sufren los latinos en los estados unidos. Su mayor inlfuencia en la musica fue artistas como Vico-C y Mellow Man Ace cuales tambien cantan hip hop latino. El Imperio grabo su primer demo en 1997 que consistió de dos canciones e hicieron el esfuerzo de ser conocidos por compañías diskeras que pudieran facilitar la dura batalla de ser reconocidos a nivel internacional. En el año 2000 grabaron su primer album completo de 14 canciones, pero el album no tuvo mucha promocion en las radios o media por razones de que los temas de las canciones eran un poco fuertes. Reciente en el 2004 grabaron el album titulado "Atake Imperial" cual consiste de 16 canciones,Este Cd es el que esta rompiendo paredes, El Imperio esta presente! Visiten su pagina de space
