Tres Coronas

Tres Coronas (alternatively known by the nickname Triple Crown) were a group of three MCs, formed in 2001 in Queens, New York, composed of the New Yorker/Colombian Luis Alfonso Fonseca known as P.N.O., the French/Colombian Sébastian Rocca known as Rocca, and the New Yorker/Dominican José Alberto Collado known as Reychesta. Their music deals with issues of everyday life. Their best-known songs are off their albums Red Mixtape and Nuestra Cosa. Some of their hit tracks are "Falsedades", "Envidias", "Ahora O Nunca". Different producers such as Artwell Smart, Gallegos, Chaze, Shakim and others worked on their albums and projects.

History

In 1999, Rocca was working in New York mixing his music and there he met PoNchO (P.N.O), who showed him his demo and they started working together on a future project. Shortly after Reychesta through New York producer Spank met P.N.O., and the three musicians started recording songs together. At the end of 2001, they had their first two concerts in Colombia. They distributed several CD's, the first in 2001, called "Mixtape", the second in 2002, called "Mixtape Remix" the third in 2004, called "New York Mixtape". The fourth in 2005 was called "Nuestra Cosa", the group's first studio album, which includes 15 songs with collaborations of G.O.D Father Pt. III (of the group Infamous Mobb) and Cormega.

Nuestra Cosa: Deluxe Edition and group breakup (2005–2006)

In the process of promoting "Nuestra Cosa: Deluxe Edition", Boy Wonder offered a contract to Tres Coronas on the seal "Chosen Few Emerald Entertainment, Inc.", but the only one to accept it was Reychesta, without telling his teammates. Shortly after Gustavo López, he also offered a contract to Tres Coronas on the label "Machete Music", which was accepted by the three members of the group.

There are two documentaries of the group, the official and the unofficial, both called: "Tres Coronas: Nuestra Cosa".

Conflicts after the separation of Reychesta from the group

After his departure from the group, Reychesta continues his singing career as a soloist in "Chosen Few Emerald Entertainment, Inc.", a company of Boy Wonder in which he had already signed approximately seven months before his departure from group Tres Coronas. The controversies continued because after their separation, Rocca and P.N.O retain the name Tres Coronas, after Rocca registered the trademark Tres Coronas in his name.

In 2011, Rocca and P.N.O, on their album "La Música Es Mi Arma", published a song called "Aquí Llegamos (Intro)" in which they used the production of Artwell Smart (music producer and best friend of Reychesta).

La Música Es Mi Arma, second and last studio album of "Tres Coronas" (2009–2011)

In mid-2009, Rocca and P.N.O had already finished the new album "La Música Es Mi Arma", unfortunately the label "Machete Music" did not understand the concept of the album. They spent a year and a half trying to recover the album with the help of lawyers. That fight ended up depleting Tres Coronas, they also felt that a good part of their audience had remained in the most basic and traditional rap schemes of the '90, and only now many begin to appreciate the work of that moment. Finally, in 2011, they published the album, a special edition exclusively for Colombia was also released.

Return of "Tres Coronas" (2019)

In October 2019, "Tres Coronas" (Rocca & P.N.O) performed at the Colombian festival, "Hip Hop al Parque".

Recognitions and nomination for Latin Grammy 2007

In 2006, the song "Vamos a Jugar" with Kafu Banton, was on the playlist of MTV Tr3s, mun2 and Univision. In 2007 they were nominated for the 8th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, nominating in the category best urban song, a remix of "Mi Tumbao" with Michael Stuart. He competed against Calle 13, Orishas, Daddy Yankee and Don Omar with Wisin & Yandel. Finally Residente and Visitante won the prize.
