Akwid is a Mexican-American Hip Hop group, combining hip hop-style vocals with regional Mexican music. An earlier incarnation of the group was known as Juvenile Style. Rappers Sergio "Wikid" Gómez and Francisco "AK" Gómez, who make up Akwid, are two brothers originally from Jiquilpan, Michoacán, who live in Los Angeles, California.
Their first album, Proyecto Akwid, won two Billboard Prizes and a Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
Their 2004 album KOMP 104.9 Radio Compa is in the form of a broadcast on a fictitious radio station, and their 2005 album Los Aguacates De Jiquilpan is in the form of a fairy tale explaining their arrival from Mexico to the USA. They are currently signed to Univision Music Group.
