In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Growing up in NYC being raised by Dominican parents I remember Anthony Santos playing on my mothers radio while on the tv BET was on displaying a Notorious B.I.G. video. I grew up simultaneously immersed in Hip-hop and Latin music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city Mac Miller, The Divine Feminine Natalia Lafourcade, Hasta la Raíz (Edición Especial) Classic albums from incredible artists. I feel like I am truly connecting with authentic art pouring out of the souls of Kendrick, Natalia and Mac. The music, the lyrics, the messages and how it all comes together, it's truly magnificent. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Nature Walk” This song was Inspired by a mushroom trip I took in the mountains of Mexico. In the song I spit bars promoting deep connection with all that is nature after my personal journey led me to leave the city in exchange for a more humble life in the wild.
