The duo started their career of music in high school. R.K.M (formerly known as "Rakim" but changed to avoid confusion with established Hip-Hop artist Rakim) was inspired by the recent explosion of reggaeton music in the 90's. He encouraged Ken-Y to join him to form a duo. They later would perform at sweet 16 birthday parties and public events.
Soon the duo went on to record their music. Nicky Jam gave the duo a chance to make an appearance on his album, Vida Escante. R.K.M & Ken-Y were featured on "Pasado" and "Me Estoy Muriendo". The two singles were instant hits[vague] all across Latin America.[citation needed] They also won The Draft, a contest for upcoming Latin artist. They won the best Latin and reggae award in 2007
.
This success caught the eyes of Raphy Pina, reggaeton moguls. They were quickly signed to the label and a year later released "Masterpiece". The album was nominated for Premio Lo Nuestro of 2007.[1] Their first hit single was "Down", reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in 2006. The album also spawned 4 other singles, music videos, and many awards[vague]. Although their album went platinum, it sold about 600,000 copies.[2] The duo soon after went on a tour across the world. They have released their songs performed on tour onto an album entitled "Masterpiece: World Tour (Sold Out)". They also have released a special edition version of the album entitled "Masterpiece Commemorative Edition".
Their studio album, The Royalty, was released September 9, 2008.
The first single of the album was "Mis Días Sin Ti", . , Raphy Pina announces the return of RKM & Ken-Y February 15, 2008. The date is actually a concert they held in the Choliseo in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The concert's headline is "Romantic en el Choliseo". Reggaeton artists like Wisin & Yandel, Tito "El Bambino", Nicky Jam, Rene Moz and Arcangel were present. Other artists like N'Klabe, and Karis were also present.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy me levanté pensando en ti
Vienen en mi mente el momento de esa noche
Esa noche en que te conocí
Por favor sírveme otro trago pa' olvidarla
No puedo seguir así
Pensando en ti
Aquella noche fue perfecta
Recuerdo que recibí una llamada
Me hiciste una propuesta
Y algo me arrastraba hasta tu cama
Y aquí nos encontramos, besamos, amamos
Detuvimos el tiempo
Y en fuego nos quemamos
Amor, a dónde te has metido
Amor, por qué no estás conmigo
Y yo hoy me levanté recordando tu nombre
Hoy me levanté pensando en ti
Vienen en mi mente el momento de esa noche
Esa noche en que te conocí
Por favor sírveme otro trago pa' olvidarla
No puedo seguir así
Pensando en ti
Yo sé que también me extrañas
Amor, a mí no me engañas
Dejé mi huella en tu almohada
Y es muy difícil borrarla (oh no no)
Esta noche yo voy a brindar por ti
Por aquellos besos que una vez te di
Daría mi vida porque estés aquí
Amor, a dónde te has metido
Amor, por qué no estás conmigo
Y yo hoy me levanté recordando tu nombre
Hoy me levanté pensando en ti
Vienen en mi mente el momento de esa noche
Esa noche en que te conocí
Por favor sírveme otro trago pa' olvidarla
No puedo seguir así
Pensando en ti
Aquella noche fue perfecta
Hoy me levanté recordando tu nombre (nombre, nombre)
Me hiciste una propuesta
Vienen a mi mente el momento de esa noche (noche, noche)
Aquella noche fue perfecta
Por favor sírveme otro trago pa' olvidarla (olvidarla, olvidarla)
Detuvimos el tiempo
Pensando en ti

The lyrics to Ken-Y's song "Aquella Noche" describe the aftermath of a passionate night with someone he met for the first time that night. The singer wakes up thinking about the person and can't seem to get them out of their head. The memory of the night replays in their mind, thinking about the moments they spent together and how they got to the point of being in bed with each other. The lyrics also indicate that the singer is having trouble moving on from this encounter and is seeking solace in alcohol to help them forget.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer waking up remembering the person's name and thinking about them once again. The lyrics indicate that the person is missed and questioned as to why they are not with the singer. The last verse is centered on the singer's desire to have the person back in their life and the memories they shared. The lyrics are a representation of the feeling of being engulfed in a passion to the point that one is unable to move on from it.
