Crooked Stilo is a Hip-Hop duo of brothers Victor and Johnny Lopez. The duo spent their early years in El Salvador, a Central American nation torn apart by civil war. As youths, they immigrated with their parents to the US in search of a new beginning and a better future. They settled in a housing project in East LA, a new environment that came with its own unique challenges where the brothers faced difficulties of gang warfare, drugs, alcohol, and criminal elements. They focused on their music as a protection from the shootings and fights that occurred outside of their home. The confrontations between other young immigrants and the police turned into music and the stories of their lives became their lyrics.
