A & A Biography
Quinee Butler, Reggaetonline.net - October 12, 2006 - Mas Flow has many connections to the East Coast; in fact most of their producing teams come from Massachusetts in the US. Double A Corliones, simply known as A&A was born in the Dominican Republic, but raised in Boston, Massachusetts - in a small town called Lynn to be exact. His work has been featured on Hector ‘El Fathers’ single ‘Here we Go Yo’ featuring Jay-Z from the album “Los Rompe Discotekas.” A&A also works along side another Mas Flow producer, Nales, forming the producing duo ‘Los Presidents’
Word on the street is that A&A has been working with Luny and Tunes before their move to Puerto Rico. Back then the Reggaeton scene in Lynn was small, but very rich in talent. When asked about where his connection to Luny came from, A&A replied: “I know Luny from way back because the Reggaeton movement was hardcore in Boston and it is still going strong. A lot of us were trying to make Reggaeton music, rap or had groups; so we had our own movement back then. We even had competitions against one another.”
One of the most profound events in the Reggaeton movement of Massachusetts was Luny and Tunes’ choice to relocate to Puerto Rico. Those who stayed behind continued with their own lives, including A&A. “When Luny and Tunes moved from Massachusetts I kept on doing my own thing,” recalled A&A. “I stepped away for like 5 years and took care of personal stuff, and even had a child before I came back to work with my music again. Even though I was with Luny and Tunes before they left, I followed a slightly different path to get here. Over the years I kept in touch with Luny; however I felt it was just not meant to be for me at the time.” The path he took brought him work with NORE and SPK, and A&A is even part of NORE’s most recent production.
When asked about the myth that if Reggaeton doesn’t come from Puerto Rico or by means of Puerto Rico, then it won’t make it, A&A replied “Outside of Puerto Rico the Reggaeton movement is so small, it all leads back to Puerto Rico, where for the most part the stronger roots of Reggaeton begin. Some people say if a song doesn’t make it in Puerto Rico it won’t make it at all. There is a type of music called Merengue and it is originally from D.R. (Dominican Republic) and about 5 years ago they used to say the same thing. ‘If Merengue doesn’t come from DR then it won’t make it.’ Things have changed dramatically over the years, and now that theory can easily be proven wrong.”
Double A Corliones produced at least 4 or 5 tracks intended for “Los Benjamins.” However, as A&A told Reggaetonline.net, “Just because you do a track for an album doesn’t mean that it will automatically be included. Many of the songs presented to Luny for “Los Benjamins” were not chosen for this instance of “Los Benjamins.” Fans are optimistic that Luny will release even more hits by Reggaeton artists like Tego Calderon and Daddy Yankee. No matter what, fans are looking forward to whatever creativity A&A brings to Reggaeton.© 2006, Reggaetonline.net
