Hispanic Soul is the debut studio album released by Puerto Rican singer Vico C released on 1991 by Prime Records. Recorded at Unicornio Studios, the album is credited, along with his previous EP La Recta Final (1990) and Misión La Cima (1990), to take the hip-hop movement in Puerto Rico, known as "Rap en Español", from underground to international exposure. Eventually, the album reached number 10 on US Billboard Tropical/Salsa and was his first album to be officially distributed in Latin America. Following the success of the album, he was nominated for the 1992 Lo Nuestro Awards.

The track "Bomba Para Afincar" is considered one of Vico C's greatest hits. The song integrates Caribbean rhythms without relinquishing his social messages and is considered to be one of the first musical examples of the evolution of reggae en Español and the creation of reggaeton.
