Bro…Listen To The Kids Bro!
Finally the monster of a rapper, Álvaro Díaz, released his latest EP today, Ilumilatin Vol. 1, for his fans to hear and it’s ridiculous how good it is! Irrelevant isn’t even the word right now for Díaz’s “competition,” he’s not giving them a single chance to top him and I don’t see it happening anytime soon if ever.
Now available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and Soundcloud, Ilumilatin Vol. 1, is a darker sound for Álvaro. For those who have already listened, you may have noticed the artist used a lot of Auto-Tune on these tracks but last night during a Periscope session for his fans, he explained that his upcoming album, Díaz Buenos Díaz Malos, doesn’t have any auto-tuning so he wanted to do something completely different for the EP. I think that was a good call from the rapper because it definitely complimented the grimey energy he was trying to channel on these tracks.
From witty punch lines to catchy hooks and dope beats, it’s hard for me to pick a stand out song. I wasn’t ready for all this fire!
Monstar
“Ahora las groupies son super modelos pero en la cama son porn stars”
Un Monstar na na na!
“Todo el mundo pregunta por mi como se fuera el password del wi-fi”
Donde Están Mis $$$ ?
“Voy a seguir rimando y matando y pintando con palabras como hacia Van Gogh”
Paga Paga Paga Paga Paga Paga!
“Cuenta que nunca ha fingido un orgasmo aun que este estudiando para ser actriz”
Frente Al Espejo
“El primer día Dios creo al cielo (amén) al otro ella fue creada (amén), convence al diablo que vuelva a ser un angel solo con su mirada”
Al frente del espejo del espejo del espejo!
“…me miro con la cara de negro hazme lo que quieras, usualmente no tengo tiempo so tuve que aprovechar la ocasión la puse en el mood a ella y el celular lo puse en modo de avión”
“Su ropa interior negra porque matamos las ganas”
Elvira Hancock
“Pa que gritarte que te amo si se que no vas a creerme, después de todo lo que he fallado juras que eres lo ultimo en mi mente y no es asi..”
“Ultimamente he sido un cabrón, últimamente he sido injusto, juras que yo no se lo que vales dame un ultimo break que te lo juro que me ajusto, di que si paro el track salgo y te busco”
Va odiarme va odiarme va odiarme va odiarme
“Puedes buscar miles pero ninguno de ellos va a superarme”
“Pues dicen que no nació para ser reina quien no pueda aguantar la mielda de un rey”
La Champaña
“Hoy voy a brindar por los que me quieren y me odian..si total la champaña va saber igual”
“Soy un visionario-Spike Lee, propio estilo-Bruce Lee,este juego se convirtio en mi realidad como en jumanji”
Just because I’m a girl you might think “Elvira Hancock” is my favorite, which it definitely is in my top favorites from Álvaro but I can’t lie, I’m really feelin’ “Frente Al Espejo.”
In “Monstar” Díaz raps “El día que no joseo es un día perdió” and after listening to all of these songs about 100 times now there’s no doubt him and his team are on their grind 24/7. Props definitely have to be given to the producer of all 5 tracks, Young Martino, Caleb Calloway with the assist on “Donde Están Mis $$$ ?”, to the Lara brothers for the mixing/masterization of the EP,to César Berrios, Wigberto Rodriguez and Janjo for the visuals and art of Ilumilatin Vol. 1 and to Álvaro’s manager, Angelo Torres, who has done an amazing job at promoting his artist on all major platforms and giving not only the locals of Puerto Rico a chance to know who Álvaro Díaz is but people all around the world- “de Hato Rey a Aguascalientes! “
Apart from getting dope music, hats will also soon be available for purchase with different logos representing each track. Álvaro and Lv Ciudvd really do it for the fans man! Be sure to follow Álvaro for more info on that! [ TW: @yoAlvaroDiaz IG: alvaritodiaz ]
