Violadores del Verso

Violadores del Verso (Spanish: Lyrical Molesters or Verse Rapists), also known as Doble V, are a rap music crew from Zaragoza, Spain. They used the name Doble V[1] but were forced to return to their original long name due to legal issues (Doble V is also the trademark of a Spanish whiskey). The band members are MCs Kase.O (born 1 March, 1980), Lírico (born 25 December, 1976), Sho-Hai (also known as Hate) (born 19 February, 1976) and DJ R de Rumba (born 14 July, 1976). They are often considered the greatest Spanish hip hop group in history and one of the most influential Spanish-speaking hip hop artists of all time.

Biography

Violadores del Verso started off in 1997 in Zaragoza, Spain.[1] They were initially 5 MC's, but Brutal (Kase.O's brother) left the group. In 1999 they published their first LP as a group, which increased their popularity on the Spanish rap scene. They had legal problems with a whiskey company called Doble V so they changed the name of the group back to their original name Violadores del Verso. In 2001 they published two more albums as Doble V. In 2006 they published "Vivir para Contarlo", which is regarded as one of the best Spanish hip hop albums of all time.

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
