Don`t call Dominican rapper Papi Sanchez a reggaeton artist. Although Sanchez raps in Spanish, working the mic over Latin-inflected rhythms, his productions are far from the seismic, sternum-rattling beats that compose the backing tracks for many of his Latin rap contemporaries. Instead, Sanchez draws inspiration from more vintage dance music. EL REY DE LA REPUBLICA folds in elements of salsa and tango, as well as funk, R&B, and disco, making for a sleek, danceable, and thoroughly enjoyable mix.
