  1. Reventón Grupero Por fin Kareem López ya tiene su disco con el que debuta como solista. Se trata de Agridulce, que contiene 10 temas inéditos de compositores tan buenos como Diego Sandoval y Horacio Palencia, lo que habla de sus ganas de llegar y quedarse en este reventón grupero. Habrá que recordar que Kareem era vocalista de AK7, agrupación con la que creció a lo largo de tres años, luego de haber debutado con un grupo integrado por miembros de su familia. Es un chavo muy luchón y con muy buena voz, esperemos que le salgan muy bien las cosas.
