SFDK

Spanish hip-hop duo SFDK formed in Seville in 1993. MC Zatu and DJ Acción Sánchez originally derived their name from the acronym for the phrase "Straight from Da Kranny," but later instituted the revised "Siempre Fuertes de Konciencia," or "Always Strong of Conscience." After a series of independent singles, SFDK signed to the Zona Bruta label in 1999 to issue their debut full-length, Siempre Fuertes. Their third LP, 2001's Odisea en el Lodo, proved the commercial and critical turning point, and in the wake of its chart breakthrough SFDK toured Spain, followed by appearances in Chile and the U.S.
