If you’re anything like us, you miss last summer’s club anthem ‘Lean Like A Cholo’. Who doesn't love busting out that dance move? Well, don't think you're gonna get the beat out of tus cabezas any time soon...The man behind the song, Down AKA Kilo, told MTV Tr3s at Karlifornia’s birthday fiesta that he plans on making Lean Like A Cholo into una película. Down nos dijo:

We start shooting on July 19th. I’m looking forward to going from the song to the movie. The homies on the grind, you know.

The Latino rapper was pumped to introduce both his hit single and love of Los Angeles into the movie’s plot:

It’s a Latino comedy based of five homies raised in Los Angeles. I’m one of the main characters.

If you were ever having trouble doing the dance, now there's a whole flick about the moves sure to have everyone leaning al estilo vato. According to The Brown Super Hero, the movie will drop in the '08 holiday season. [MTV News]

We caught up with Alexis y Fido at Karli’s birthday fiesta and los reggaetoneros told us that after touring this summer they plan on starting another album. Alexis had this to say about the upcoming proyecto:

We are going to start recording around October. The last one was more techno and electronic music. Now we are going to starting fusing different alternative things into our music.

Regardless of what they deliver, we bet their new sound will be good to groove to. We're hoping to see a new album from the duo in 2009.  Until then, you can catch 'em en tour el verano entero.

So is Pee Wee ever going to get the chance to have a solo career? According to the singer, he's finally letting his music out there, no matter what what any label or ex-bandmate says. MTV Tr3s caught up with El Chiquillo while partying at Karli Herniquez’s blow-out cumpleaños in LA.
