Dominican Culture, Latin Music Draft & Food Debates Get WILD | Hispanic Heritage Month

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from your favorite Dominican duo — The Kid Mero and DJ Kast One. The iconic duo sits down at HOT 97 to celebrate Latino culture and Bronx style.

From chancleta samurai and Dominican baby shower start times (invitation says 3PM, reality says 8PM), to the evolution of Dominican Spanish — the most lyrical, saucy, and fastest Spanish dialect out there — nothing is off limits.

Topics covered:
🏠 Family traditions & “the compound” — every Dominican family’s got one
🗣️ Dominican Spanish as its own living, breathing dialect
🦸 The superpower of being a Black Latino (incognito mode activated)
🎵 A full Latin music draft — from Anthony Santos and Johnny Ventura to Bad Bunny, Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Julio Iglesias, and the Dominican Michael Jackson himself, Toño Rosario
🍽️ Favorite Dominican dishes — locrio de salami, tres golpes, and the sancocho debate (NO corn, and YES white rice)
🎨 Graffiti, culture, and how Latin rhythm is the ultimate foundation for DJing

Drop a comment with your Latin music draft starting five and tell us — does corn belong in sancocho? 👀
