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".

Si La Ves
Ken-Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y que estoy desesperado
Por que vuelva junto a mí
Si la ves dile que no la he olvidado, no
Y que lloro como un niño
Desde que se fue de aquí
Que estoy muriendo y que me cuesta respirar
Dile que sin ella yo he vuelvo loco
Y que mi vida se va poco a poco
Díselo
Díselo
Ya no me siento igual que ayer
Nena, yo te quiero entender
Me dejaste solo aquí
Dime por que, baby
Si la ves
Dile que la sigo esperando
Que me siento bien en sus brazos
Y que este hombre no puede vivir
Sin estar junto ti, oh, no
Si la ves
Dile que la sigo esperando
Que me siento bien en sus brazos
Y que este hombre no puede vivir
Sin estar junto ti, oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Que este hombre no puede
Vivir si no estar junto a ti
Dime que hago si no dejo de pensar
En el calor de tus abrazos
Mi corazón está en pedazos
Si la ves
Dile que aún yo la quiero
Y que yo extraño sus besos
Y que no aguanto esta tormenta que me mata a fuego lento
Oh, no
Y que no aguanto más
No la he dejado de extrañar
Dile que siempre la voy a esperar hasta el día en que vuelva
Que vuelva
Que vuelvas
Yo
Hasta el día en que vuelvas
Si la ves dile que aún la quiero
Y que estoy desesperado
Por que vuelva junto a mí
Si la ves dile que no la he olvidado, no
Y que lloro como un niño
Desde que se fue de aquí
