One thing I love about music is the ability to discover new artists. A musician’s ability to capture various sounds from different cultures and backgrounds intrigue me. For this week, I will introduce you guys to three artists from Florida that incorporate Spanish roots into a heavy-hitting hip hop track. The track is entitled Escobar brought to by producer, Xponentbeatz featuring Kriiispy and Halfxyou. The up and coming beatmaker from Miami, Florida began making this beat with his friend, Dominican rapper, Kriiispy just playing around with guitar instrumentals. Once the song came together, they reached out to his Cuban-bred labelmate from Grocerystore Records, Halfofyou to add his vocals.
The braggadocious mid-tempo track features a hook sung in Spanish by both Halfofyou and Kriiispy. Halfofyou kicks off the first verse riding the beat effortlessly followed by a bilingual verse from Kriiispy. I’m excited to hear more from the Florida producer, hopefully a full-length project follows. Escobar is now available on all music platforms.
Escobar
(Inspired by song of the same name)
Body in Miami
Not pushing buttons
Still don’t try me
I’m known to push boundaries
And I do it without warning
On my John Singleton
Dedicated to higher learning
Buenos días, yeah good morning
You do you and I’ll do what’s for me
I’m a sapiosexual, please come correct
So don’t bore me
If that big hand don’t meet the little hand
Then you can quit wasting my time
2021 I’m here to stay and I’m taking all that’s mine
Yo me siento el bichote
Como Pablo Escobar
They say my end is near
And I say it’s too far
La elección es tuya
Esto es ahogarse o nadar
Push my pen until the end
I’m ready to leave my mark
