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.
