The duo started their career of music in high school. RKM (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.
Since their debut album, RKM & Ken-Y have gone on to appear and guest star on many songs. They have worked with artists such as Cruzito (Singer), Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, José Feliciano, Pitbull, Hector "El Father", David Bisbal, Ivy Queen, Chino & Nacho, Hector "El Torito", Plan B, Tony Dize, Zion & Lennox.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Extrañandote
(Extrañandote)
Es como un vicio que me amarra a ti
Y yo sigo deseandote
(Deseandote)
Y cuando cae la noche yo
No puedo vivir si no te tengo
(Tengo)
Tu me comienzas a besar
Te juro que no quiero despertar
Tengo que saber la realidad
Que es solo un sueño
Que no te tengoo
Que es solo un sueño
Que no te tengoooo no, no
Abrazando la almohada yo despierto
Soñando que te tengo
Me duele porque no es cierto
Mai te juro que quisiera ser tu dueño
Que conmigo amanezcas
Y solo te tengo en sueños
Tu no sabes cuanto te extraño
Me hace daño, los dias se hacen meses
Y los meses se hacen años
Como duele el no tenerte a ti perderte
Y solamente en mis sueños tenerte
Y cuando cae la noche yo
Me imagino que estas conmigo
No puedo vivir si no te tengo
(Tengo)
Tu me comienzas a besar
Te juro que no quiero despertar
Tengo que saber la realidad
Que es solo un sueño
Que no te tengo
Es solo un sueño
Que no te tengo, no, no
Las horas pasan y yo sigo aqui
Extrañandote
(Extrañandote)
Es como un vicio que me amarra a ti
Y yo sigo deseandote

Rakim y Ken-Y
The lyrics to RKM & Ken-Y's song "Un Sueño" express the singer's longing for a past romantic partner who they can only be with in their dreams. The song begins with the singer admitting that they are still missing their ex-lover, and that it feels like an addiction that keeps them tied to them. They imagine being with this person at night and feeling like they cannot live without them. Even when they are asleep, they long to have this person next to them, and they wake up feeling empty when they realize that it was all just a dream. Despite the pain of the situation, the singer is committed to acknowledging the reality and accepting that they can't have this person back.
The song contains themes of heartbreak and unrequited love, as well as desire and longing. The singer expresses how much they miss this person and describes the pain of not being able to have them in their life. The lyrics are quite reflective and introspective, with the singer recognizing that they need to accept the situation and acknowledge that they are living in a dream world. Although the song is somewhat melancholic in tone, the chorus does contain a sense of hope, as the singer is determined to confront the reality of the situation and move on.
