Thoughts:  Great name.  This fella weaves English and Spanish together in his songs at random.  Some lines will have both, or other times he'll have a verse in one and chorus in the other, or other times entire songs will stick to one.  I read an interview with him where he said that he got started in 2019 by just recording some freestyle stuff while over at a friend's house.  He's from Panama, but is based in Atlanta now.  His real name is John Farrish, and he says that he has been influenced by Bad Bunny and Post Malone, but wants to bring those things from a black perspective.

Just singles until 2022's EP DIADREAMER.  His top track was one of those 2021 singles - "Modelo" - with 1.3 million streams.

I hear some of that Post Malone love in that one - and its one where each line can change language, and some even shift during the line itself - "Even when you're sour, baby, yo soy tu guerrero (Yeah)."  I don't love it.  Relatively generic tune and plain singing.  "LA MOVE" reminds me of the part of "SICKO MODE" where Travis Scott sings about going to Jamba Juice.  That one is actually pretty cool.  While I don't understand what is being said most of the song, the beat and flow on "DIADREAMER" is enjoyable.  I find it annoying when rappers end every line with "aye," and "HOW IT GOES" is super annoying (for multiple reasons, that being one of them).  "MY HONESTIDAD" is lame - just a boring song sung over an almost non-existent tune.  His second-place streamer is another single, "Si Tu Quieres," from 2021, with 384k streams.  Also uninteresting.  I'll give you the title track from the new EP instead.  93k streams.

Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.  When the beat shifts about half-way through, that is when it gets good.  Again, don't know what is said for half of it, but sounds pretty cool.

I'm good without seeing this one.  I've listened through the whole catalog twice and nothing in here really stands out as something special.  Not terrible, just uninteresting.
