Across 13 songs, Trueno infuses sounds that range from old-school funk to techno-house to straight Eighties hip-hop as he pushes his signature rap style out of his comfort zone. On some songs, like on standout “Plo Plo!,” he samples his own song with Bizarrap, reimagines it, and offers something completely new. “We’re the ones that have to bring the new material for the next 50 years,” he says.
Even the album’s cover — which sees a baby Trueno rocking braids and photoshopped piercings — is an homage to the “baby rapper” covers featured on artwork for Lil Wayne’s. “It’s an iconic part of hip-hop. You see a cover with a baby rapper, and you quickly realize it’s a hip-hop album,” he says. “It also shows with that little child I once was, dreaming about everything that’s happening to me right now.
This one is like a techno-house track. Maybe it’s more techno than house but I haven’t worked on such a pure electronica track, so it was great having “Pump Up the Jam” by Technotronic as a reference. They were from Europe: the music was different but it was also part of the hip-hop culture so it shows how global the genre has always been. Hip-hop culture is not only from the U.S. but also from other countries.
I think that this is the craziest track of the record. We produced this song alongside El Guincho, who is an amazing producer. He includes three different beats in a single track. I think this is the song that goes into the future and not so much paying tribute to the past. I can show many ways to rap with trap beats that are kind of weird, with different BPMs, but also sampling my Bizarrap session. It has such an special energy and vibe.
