Control Machete
Background information
Origin	Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico
Genre(s)	Hip hop

Control Machete is a Mexican hip hop group from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Its members are Fermin IV (listed as Fermin IV Caballero Elizondo in credits), Patricio "Pato" Chapa Elizalde, and Toy Kenobi (Toy Hernández). However, Fermin IV left the band in 2002 and released a solo album, Boomerang. He also collaborated with Cypress Hill on the track "Siempre Peligroso" on their album Los grandes éxitos en español.

The group moved to the mainstream after their song "Sí Señor" was used as backing in the Levi's Super Bowl television commercial "Crazy Legs". However, their debut album was already a bestseller, with 100,000 units sold in Mexico and 400,000 in Latin America. Their track "Danzón" was recorded in Cuba with Buena Vista Social Club's Rubén González. "Si señor" was featured in the Alejandro González Iñárritu film Amores perros, and Control Machete's music was heard in the 2005 film Land of the Dead, as well as the new film "Crank" starring Jason Statham.

Control Machete's lyrics pack a powerful message into their music. Piercing commentary on politics, society, economy, and race relations are woven together with melody and rhythm.

Control Machete's music has at times been criticized as defamatory and vulgar, for their use of Spanish profanity and their confrontation of sensitive political and social issues. However, their explosive and pointed songs aim to incite the Mexican people to redouble their national pride and rise up against poverty, ignorance, and oppression.

Control Machete was also featured very prominently on the 2005 game Total Overdose and again on the 2007 Xbox 360 game Crackdown.
