Los Angeles hip hop is in a league of its own, and the duo Coyote is here to prove why they are the next big thing from the West Coast. In this deep dive with Sway, Ricky Blanco and Ladies Love Guapo break down their journey from Hawthorne to the global stage. These brothers represent the true spirit of Southern California, blending raw storytelling with a universal message that resonates with listeners everywhere.
The conversation covers everything from their childhood moving between Mexico and LA to the deep musical influence of their father. You will hear about their unique relationship with legends like Tash from the Alkaholiks and a surprise drop-in from B Real of Cypress Hill, who shares why he respects their craft. They also get real about the social issues facing the Mexican-American community, the significance of their name, and how they use energy and frequencies to manifest their success in the industry.
Of course, it would not be a Sway in the Morning appearance without some bars. Stick around for the end of the video to see Ricky Blanco and Ladies Love Guapo deliver a masterclass in lyricism with two back-to-back freestyles that leave the room speechless. From talking about their new album, Machetes and Micheladas, to their thoughts on the hypocrisy of the system, this is an interview you do not want to miss.
