Rapper Hugo Canchola grew up navigating the streets of Ecatepec, a city that ignited his drive to make music reflecting his reality. Reborn as Yoga Fire, he debuted in 2016 with Ciudad del Diablo, an album that maps conflict and crime across stark soundscapes. Now repping Mexico City hip-hop collective Homegrown Mafia, Yoga Fire serves simmering social commentary alongside lush cuts of trap. Co-captained by label mate Fntxy, 2017 album Wavy Super Latin is pure party jams. However, 2020 single “Dcalle” delivers a powerful synthesis of blazing beats and lyrical vision.
