One Producer and Nineteen Tracks
There is a specific kind of album that only a producer with two decades of relationships can make. Machetes & Micheladas by Coyote and Statik Selektah is that album. Nineteen tracks. Sixty-three minutes. Every single beat produced by Statik Selektah. And a feature list that reads like a cultural map: Conway The Machine from Griselda’s East Coast underground. B-Real and Sick Jacken from the Cypress Hill and Psycho Realm lineage. Xzibit from West Coast royalty. Curren$y from New Orleans independent rap. R.A. the Rugged Man from the lyrical purist tradition. Berner from the cannabis and rap crossover. All of them on one project, produced by a DJ from Massachusetts who has spent twenty years building the connections to make this.
Who Coyote Are and Where They Come From
Coyote are brothers Guapo and Ricky Morales from Hawthorne, California. B-Real calls them “the pride of Hawthorne” on the album’s closing stretch. They rap in English and Spanglish with a looseness that hides how precise the punchlines are. Machetes & Micheladas is their fifth full-length album and the first where they handed the entire production slate to a single outside producer. That producer is Statik Selektah. Coyote’s network runs deep into the West Coast Latin rap ecosystem. Coyote is featured on “Sueños,” track five of Cypress Hill‘s Dios Bendiga, the all-Spanish album released in July 2026. B-Real and Sick Jacken both appear on Machetes & Micheladas. The Psycho Realm connection, the Cypress Hill connection, the Hawthorne roots: Coyote sit at the intersection of three generations of West Coast Chicano rap.

Why Statik Selektah Is the Right Producer for This Project
Statik Selektah, born Patrick Baril in Lawrence, Massachusetts, has spent two decades as one of the most consistent boom bap producers in hip hop. His catalog of collaborative albums is a map of the genre itself: with Termanology as 1982, with Bun B as TrillStatik, with Kxng Crooked as Statik Kxng, and solo projects featuring The LOX, Joey Badass, Action Bronson, Run The Jewels, Raekwon, and Styles P. In 2026 alone, Statik produced track 21 “The Pen” on The Game‘s The Documentary 3 and served as the DJ at the listening party for Styles P‘s final album Ghost of the Past, Present, and Future at Strains For Life in New York City. On Machetes & Micheladas, Statik brings his signature sample chops. The result is an album where the boom bap structure meets Chicano stories.
What the Feature List Reveals
The sequencing of Machetes & Micheladas tells a story about geography and lineage. The album opens with Xzibit, a West Coast institution. Track two brings Conway The Machine from Buffalo, New York, Griselda’s boom bap fortress. Track four puts B-Real and Sick Jacken together for the first time on a non-Cypress Hill or Psycho Realm release, a moment that registers as a quiet family reunion. Curren$y arrives from New Orleans on track nine with the reflective “Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes.” Berner writes a letter to his son on track ten after surviving a health scare in 2022. Locksmith and R.A. the Rugged Man share track thirteen for a lyrical exercise. Daylyt, one of the most unpredictable voices in battle rap, drops “Fuck Everybody” at track seventeen. Every feature serves the album’s thesis: the culture is wider than one coast, one language, or one generation. Statik Selektah is the thread that connects all of them.
HIPHOPADELLIC Perspective
Machetes & Micheladas moves from Griselda’s East Coast to Cypress Hill’s West Coast to New Orleans to the battle rap circuit without ever losing its center.
Coyote are building a case that the city deserves its own chapter in West Coast rap history. Five albums deep, a feature on Cypress Hill’s Dios Bendiga, and now a full project with Statik Selektah that pulled Conway The Machine, B-Real, Xzibit, Curren$y, and Berner onto the same tracklist. The Morales brothers rap in English and Spanglish with equal weight, never choosing one language over the other.
HIPHOPADELLIC has covered B-Real on Dios Bendiga, Statik on The Documentary 3, and Styles P at Strains For Life. Every thread leads back to the same producer. Statik Selektah is not just making albums. He is connecting the culture’s dots.
One Love. One Family. One Culture.
