Kinto Sol is a Latin hip hop group based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The group consists of three brothers: DJ Payback Garcia (Javier Garcia), El Chivo (Eduardo Garcia) and Skribe (Manuel Garcia); originally from Iramuco, Guanajuato, Mexico, [1] they moved to the US at a very young age due to financial struggle. Initially, they would rap in English, but after their first self-titled album they began rapping mainly in Spanish. The group would blend traditional Mexican music with hip hop style beats, giving them their unique sound. They own their own independent record label, Virus Enterprises LLC, which specializes in Latin hip hop. The group's name is a phonetic spelling of "quinto sol" (fifth sun), and is taken from an Aztec legend in which the Fifth Sun will be the last one to set in this lifetime.
