Musical performance by Kinky, Lloyd featuring Pitbull, RKM y Ken Y, and Nina Sky round out the one-hour special style addicts won’t want to miss.
Kinky, hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, blends Latin rhythm, rock, electronica and hip-hop to create their own unique spicy flavor. Their 2006 release Reina (Nettwerk/Kin-Kon), which Rolling Stone called “dance-till-you-drop mayhem,” earned the band two Latin Grammy nominations. The quintet has just put the final touches on their upcoming album, which is set for release later this year.
R&B hitmaker Lloyd performs his new single “Girls Around the World” on “MTV Tr3́s Fashionista” in an exclusive version featuring Mr. 305 himself, Pitbull. This never before seen performance is a result of their longstanding relationship dating back to their collaboration on Pitbull’s chart-topper “Secret Admirer”. Lloyd closes the show with “Get It Shawty” while getting down with the sexy “MTV Tr3́s Fashionista” models. Lloyd’s upcoming album, “Lessons In Love,” drops on August 5th on The Inc.
With more than 600,000 albums sold worldwide, reggaeton sensations RKM y Ken Y take over “MTV Tr3́s Fashionista” and perform their new single “Te Regalo Amores” from the highly anticipated album “The Royalty” due out September 9th on Machete Records for the first time.
