Hip-hop tales from el barrio, tropical escapades and social critique all have a place in Gera MX’s swaggering songbook. In fan-favourite releases like Los Niños Grandes No Juegan, the rapper’s angular reflections on success alternate with the fierce romance of tracks like “Me Toca Perder”, the latter laced with heady vocals by Daniela Calvario. There’s poetry in these rugged tales set alongside a flurry of regional Mexican and Caribbean tones—be they mariachi or salsa. His 2020 cut “Qué Chula Mi Ciudad” hooks listeners with doses of cumbia, courtesy of the late “accordion rebel”, Celso Piña.
