They have revitalized that boom bap and underground rap which seemed to have lost strength with the arrival of trap and other subgenres.
It is not just the sound that they have recovered, but also the values that have always been linked to rap. In times where Spanish youth are going through one of their worst stages, with uncertainty and precariousness being the order of the day, Ill Pekeño and Ergo Pro remind us that rap must have a realistic discourse and thoughtful.No smoke-and-dark selling, on the contrary, they call for social awareness and constructive criticism.
Recently, Ill Pekeño has released his new work, PEKE, an album that many of us were eagerly awaiting. This album is perhaps the most personal of his career. We're not talking about a typical emotional exposition, but rather a message of love. Love for his neighborhood, his family, and his friends. Love for rap and culture.
