Los Tigres del Norte?
Narcocorridos seem to be one of their niche's.

No need to feel bad grover. The Tigres are like the Rolling Stones of Mexico. Very popular and been together a long time. The narcocorridos they
made their mark with are more a reflection of what mexicans think of the dope (particularly marijuana) issues between the US and Mexico. Although
banned from airplay on Mexican radio, these song/stories are like the forbidden fruit of music among Mexican truckers I got to know.
Elijah Wald did an excellent book/cd combination on this some time ago. Good reference. The title is, of course, Corridos and Narcocorridos.
