The way that I choose production and beats has gotten wiser.
Everything is practice - sports, music, everything - and I’ve been practicing a lot. I’m not going to say was immature, because it’s my baby, but with Monarca, I think I’ve gotten to a level of maturity in my music that I feel comfortable with. What did you want to accomplish with Monarca, and how does this record mark an evolution in your sound?

Other experiences have primed him for his current profession: As a teenager, he’d been a professional swimmer who represented Puerto Rico in the junior Olympics. His impersonations not only won him thousands of followers they hinted that Carrion was hiding real dexterity as a rapper. Before turning to music, he worked as a comedian, finding success both in stand-up and on Vine, where he’d jokingly imitate artists like Cosculluela and Wisin.

On Monarca, the Puerto Rican rapper Eladio Carrion stretches the bounds of trap en español without ever abandoning its core.
