Huasteca is a big area in mexico and the song is probably the most popular serenata song - translated as serenade I guess?

69. SMC Hoodrats - (untitled)

I like this one in particular, because the bits with the first two rappers are shot in (and they rap about) the district of North Helsinki I grew up in, and the fourth rapper's bit takes place right next to where I live now (in Northwest Helsinki).

And yeah, they jacked the "Shook Ones Pt. II" beat for that tune... Which is why it's never been released on record.

71. The Icicle Works - Up Here in the North of England
72. Lorraine Bowen - Give My Love To Hull
