DJ kass

Following the success of his breakout hit “Scooby Doo Pa Pa,” New York’s DJ Kass has returned with a new dembow single titled “Le Pons.” The track combines elements of Dominican dembow and baile funk, a style the DJ/rapper calls “funkbow.”

In the NSFW video, Kass lives out his dream of being famous by partying on a yacht and a hookah lounge with beautiful women.

Kass rose to fame in January when “Scooby Doo Pa Pa” went viral on social media. The track peaked at No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in March then received the remix treatment from Pitbull in April.
