Violadores del Verso won the gold record for Vivir para contarlo (2006), and together with SFDK they are the only Spanish rap groups to have won a gold record to date.[2] Violadores del Verso 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.

The group has been on a long pause since 2010 as they wanted to grow separate careers and be creators on their own.[3]

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, Genios, 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.^{[citation needed]}

In 2019, the member Lírico was arrested for the aggression of a 27 year-old woman who he said was stalking him.
