Los Últimos

LOS ÚLTIMOS

Hip-Hop Collective (5 Members)

A Puerto Rican visionary, Cuban-Miami producer, Brazilian melodist, and Bronx poet form the pan-American Latin collective that hip-hop has been waiting for.

"They called us the last ones—los últimos en la fila. So we picked ourselves. Now look who's first."

Our Story

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—brought them to a wider audience and launched a growing community of passionate followers across 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

Debut Album

PANGEA

The supercontinent that existed before the Americas split apart. The album proposes that Latin America, the Caribbean, and Latinos in the United States were always one people, artificially divided by colonialism, borders, and oceans. Los Últimos are the reunification.

"They called us the last ones—los últimos en la fila, last in line, last to get picked. So we picked ourselves. Now look who's first."

Closing (12)
