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".

Me Matas
Ken-Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo sé que también tienes ganas
Oh, oh, tú me matas
Pero dale que hoy vamos a hacerlo sin miedo
Hoy, vamos a romper el hielo
Hoy, ya que la noche es perfecta
Vamos a hacerlo hasta que amanezca
Hoy vamos a romper el hielo
Hoy ya que la noche es perfecta
Vamos a hacerlo hasta que amanezca
Al igual que yo, yo sé que usted también
En mi cama y en mis brazos
Quieres amanecer los dos desnudos
Yo te beso y te acaricia la brisa
Y al fin de la jornada en tu cara una
Sonrisa de satisfacción por lo que tú
Y yo hicimos mientras que la luna
Mira y se hace la testigo
De los gritos que tu hacías sintiendo placer
Me matan las ganas de yo volverla a ver
Usted es la señora que me mata si me mira
Y me vuelve loco si al oído me suspira
Oyendo los gemidos solo de sexo intenso
En la oscuridad del cuarto en un silencio inmenso
Pero dale que hoy vamos a hacerlo sin miedo
Hoy, vamos a romper el hielo
Hoy, ya que la noche es perfecta
Vamos a hacerlo hasta que amanezca
Hoy vamos a hacerlo sin miedo
Hoy vamos a romper el hielo
Hoy ya que la noche es perfecta
Vamos a hacerlo hasta que amanezca
Por que negarlo más
Por que luchar si tú eres la que a mi
Me hace vibrar yo soy el hombre
Que te hace sudar y entonces
Dime amor por que negarlo más
Por que luchar tú eres la que a mi
Me hace vibrar yo soy el hombre
Que te hace sudar matemos esas ganas de amar

The song "Me Matas" by Ken-Y talks about his feelings towards a woman who he is attracted to, but also frustrated with because she doesn't speak to him. He knows that she feels the same way about him and they want to act on their desires. The lyrics express their decision to take the opportunity to be together without fear, breaking the ice and enjoying the perfect night until sunrise. The artist describes how they both want to wake up together naked in bed, and he promises to make her happy. The song is sensuous and passionate, emphasizing the connection between the two lovers.
The lyrics convey the excitement and intensity of their desire, but also the sense of risk and vulnerability of committing to each other. The artist portrays himself as confident and assertive, ready to take charge, but also sensitive and attuned to the woman's pleasure. The repeated phrase "Me matas" suggests a mixture of longing and pain, as if the attraction is overpowering but also overwhelming. The use of the moon as a witness and the darkness of the room as a setting enhances the sense of intimacy and secrecy, as if they are sharing a secret pleasure that no one else can know.
