Karl "¡OYE!" Iglesias is one of the most intriguing individuals in the Milwaukee hip-hop scene. He's a young college age guy who is proud of his academic pursuits, he not only likes to make music -- and good music at that -- but he acts and scribes plays, as well.

Pretty much anything that has to do with creativity, ¡OYE! is doing his best to master, so that whatever path he does end up going down, he'll find success.

With a new project on the horizon "The Brown Bomber," the proud Puerto Rican and South Side Milwaukeean has released a new single called "PartyHard," which is produced by Klassik (another fantastic artist/producer) and features him, as well.

However, the title of the song doesn't quite prepare you for the message you are about to receive.

"It speaks to the life that a lot of artists want but also warns of the risks of it as well," ¡OYE! explains.

Both ¡OYE! and Klassik, who are frequent collaborators, once again have a great track on their hands for the followers of MKE hip-hop. I highly encourage you to download it.
