Theres a new face & brand in South Florida “SOY TRAPERO” by Jose Salazar
Hip hop and Trap heads meet “Salazar El Tabaquero”
During a time when urban
Latin music is constantly
evolving, it takes an artist
of extraordinary talent to effectively
break barriers and set a new standard
for Latin Hip Hop. Salazar’s music
not only possesses commanding and
intoxicating beats, but has an original and advanced lyrical style that
few others have been able to match.
When one listens to Salazar’s flow, it
is clear he speaks from the heart and
soul, receiving the attention and respect of both female and male listeners alike.
Jose Salazar, a.k.a. SALAZAR, was
born in Miami, Florida. The son of
a professional Cuban baseball player who also wrote music and poetry,
Salazar’s initial childhood dream
was to play professional baseball.
After being exposed to musicians and
the art of expression through writing,
Salazar developed a deep interest and
love for music. He
began rapping at
the age of 17 and
formed A.O.D
(Age Of Destruction)
while
he was still in high school. Realizing music
was his life project; he began associating with professional artists such as Trick
Daddy, Rick Ross and Timbaland through
his in house producer 305LOS. His style
unexpectedly flipped from English to
Spanish on a verse written just to mess
around. As if by fate, it all seemed to fit
together.
As he continued to pursue his artist development, Salazar was noticed by several
top A&Rs with Sony Latino in Miami.
Salazar was selected to be a part of a compilation Spanish hip-hop album to debut
in the U.S (April 26, 2005). The project
was titled Syndicato which is Spanish for
“Syndicate” and was composed of a collaboration of 7 artists, each with a distinct
style. Since his experience with Syndicato,
Salazar has chosen to pursue his career as
a solo artist, performing throughout South
Florida.
He caught the attention of Strictly Business Records, a local independent
label, receiving much recognition in
the South Florida area. Salazar is
currently seeking to receive international attention and tar- get the Hispanic community as a w- hole. Salazar’s goal is to revolutionize Latin
music by bringing hip- hop to the
Spanish community the way it is heard in English. With a
powerful voice and
street-based lyrics,
Salazar’s music
portrays
the realistic experiences of a young first
generation Cuban-American living in the
United States. In a period where music
consumers search for answers, Salazar delivers truth to a snowballing urban Spanish
community that wont be denied. Salazar is
determined to take Spanish hip-hop to the
next level, “I want people to remember me
for changing the way Hispanics express
themselves musically“. Salazar’s decided
to take the bull by the horns and bring out
a new movement called “SOY TRAPERO” first single to set off a brand of clothing and the latin trap scene in Miami. This
single features two other artist at the
forefront of the Miami Hip hop and latin trap scene in South Florida Chief ELI
and U.B former president of “Maybach
Music Latino”. They both lace this track
with some fire Spanish trap lyrics to compliment the hardcore beat that knocks the
frame off the walls. The video is lit! Going
from real time into a music video this is
nothing short of a video/short film mash
up. Action packed with girls, guns, and
money this video will definitely take you
for a ride. You can actually catch the debut of his clothing line in the video with
his white tees and snap back caps bringing the movement to life. Showcasing the
streets of Hialeah and Carol City, Florida
this definitely has Dade County written all
over it. You can see the work
and detail that was put
into this it feels so real!
When asked what Salazar’s goals are he responded “I want to bring my
cityout as a whole
talentwise. There is a lot I
mean a lot
of latinos with
talent out here
in Miami and
no light has
been shed
on that so
that’s what
I’m here
to do past
present &
future wise”. Latinos have
a lot to do with why Miami has the flavor that it has. It’s time for everyone to
find out why musically. Since dropping “
SOY TRAPERO” he’s been performing
and selling his brand. Salazar has dropped
another two singles and his debut Spanish
Hip hop LP since coming out with the new
movement.
The first is another trap single
for the ladies called “Nadie Como Yo”
feat “Cejaz Negraz” from “Crack Family
GZ” a latin hip hop group with a mega
huge following out of Colombia. This is
def a change of pace from “SOY TRAPERO” something real nice, slow, and
smooth for the ladies definitely a different
style in Salazar’s arsenal. This video
has a Miami Vice art deco touch to it.
Midnight vibe great dancers colors and
different theme than the previous. It really shows some of Salazar’s versatility.
Ladies we at Lifoti Magazine suggest
you give this one a view. His second single “Mi Bandera” feat “The Revolution”
really showcases Salazar’s well roundedness. On this single he talks about the political issues surrounding immigrants and
refugees and how they were a key part in
making the U.S.A what it is today. Bringing a powerful message but with peace,
understanding, and neutrality. With live
instruments this a Spanish Hip hop tune
for all ages to enjoy. It’s a fusion of latin percussion fused with Hip hop which
is his signature.This is definitely a feel
good record with a heart felt message. The
video speaks for itself it really takes you
there. The struggle, sacrifice, hard work,
and dedication it takes to seek refuge out
of your country in search for a better life.
This is a huge change up topic wise from
his previous two releases which makes
Salazar a little harder to get bored of listening to. He sounds different uses different flows in each of these singles with
actual substance. It really is amazing
to listen to. He has a series of Mixtapes
called “Hip hop Remixed Vol. 1 & 2” both
featuring “DJ HERON” and Vol. 2 has a
special surprise guest hosting in “Dj Tony
Touch” links for free download available
below. Also has an official remix of the
original Dj Tony Touch track “Diaz Bros”.
Can’t say we didn’t like the eye candy on
this one.
Last but def not least Lifoti Magazine took an in depth look at Salazar’s debut album “La
Vieja Escuela” I mean we had to
after listening to the versatility this
kid has. The blending of
Spanish and English lyrics going
unnoticed from such a smooth transition and flow it was a no
brainer. La Vieja Escuela which
translates to “The Old School”
pretty much has it all. With
production on fleek this sounds like
an English Hip hop album just with
Spanish lyrics with so
many different flows and deliveries it’s ridiculous. Salazar is really
showing his skill set here and
it shows. His craftsmanship is very
entertaining to say the least. Jam
packed with 13 tracks of
fire. From super hard street lyrics to
slow seductive tracks for the ladies
to even songs about
culture and religion this is a must
have for your collection.
