DELAOSSA, DANI, and Kiddo's "No Te Necesito" is a super relatable track about moving on from a past relationship, even when it's still a little tough. The singer is out there living his life, focused on his career with "el estudio, los viaje', el estrés de la gira" [the studio, the trips, the stress of the tour]. He's trying to ignore messages and missed calls because that's "el precio a pagar de esta vida" [the price to pay for this life].

But even with all that focus, he admits, "Si llego al hotel siempre me acuerdo de ti" [If I get to the hotel I always remember you]. He knows he's better off without her, saying "Aunque sepa que no te necesito" [Even though I know I don't need you] and "Aunque sienta que estoy mejor sin ti" [Even though I feel like I'm better without you]. Still, he remembers when her kisses "valían más que los exceso', que la fama y que los peso' pa' mí" [were worth more than the excesses, than the fame and than the money to me]. It's a really honest look at how you can be doing great on your own, but still have those moments where you miss what you had.

DELAOSSA's "Lejos" (which means "Far" in English) is a really honest look at the loneliness that can come with chasing your dreams. The singer is out there trying to "hacer mi historia" [make my story], but he's feeling pretty down because he's far from the people he cares about. He's stuck on a plane, then without cell service for hours, and the person he messaged hasn't even read it yet! It's that classic feeling of being disconnected when you're on the road.

He talks about being in Madrid, feeling lost "en círculos sin cobertura" [in circles without coverage], and how he only knows what his friends are up to "si suben stories" [if they upload stories]. Even though he's traveling and meeting new people, he's still thinking about his mom praying for him and how he feels close to his loved ones despite "un huso horario, dos mares, un trecho" [a time zone, two seas, a stretch]. It's all about that bittersweet experience of pursuing big goals while missing the comforts of home and the people who make life meaningful. He even asks, "de qué sirven los sueños si se pierden / Mami, si no estás tú de qué me sirven los billetes" [what good are dreams if they are lost / Mom, if you are not here, what good is money to me?], which really hits hard.

DELAOSSA and J.Mood's "Intro" is a shout-out to growing up in a humble, seaside neighborhood in Spain. The lyrics take us back to a time before fast food, when meals were "comida de plato hondo" [deep-dish food] and life revolved around the community. He remembers the local dances and how the neighborhood kids, not "los nicas de control" [the control freaks], set the trends. It's a nostalgic look at a childhood filled with street soccer and a sense of belonging.

The song also touches on the early days of making music, with lines like "grabando one shot eléctrico en el radio" [recording one electric one-shot on the radio]. It's about starting from scratch, with "sin medio ni presupuesto" [without media or budget], and putting their "plantilla en el campo" [team on the field]. This track is a proud declaration of where they come from and the journey they've taken, celebrating their roots and the hustle that got them here.

“Tommy Hill” feels like a fast, slang-heavy street rap built from sharp boasts, strange snapshots, and loyalty tests. The recurring idea is that the crew moves quietly and carries its own weight: “sólo habla con el equipo a las espaldas” [he only talks with the team behind him] and “estamos fantasmas” [we are ghosts]. The narrator distrusts outsiders, watches people who envy him, and says that real loyalty is reserved for his own circle: “si eres de los míos, lo que tengo para los dos” [if you are one of mine, what I have is for both of us].

The fun of the lyrics is their wild jump-cut style. Luxury names, food, crime-film images, and everyday details crash together: Bugs Bunny, pastrami, Vega Sicilia wine, James Bond, Carla Bruni, and “billetes de la lavadora” [banknotes from the washing machine]. He talks about planting and collecting the results, appearing with his children for an exchange, and turning every experience into “una escultura en mármol” [a sculpture in marble]. There are also darker threats, including “los entierro en mi jardín” [I bury them in my garden], so the song’s swagger is deliberately excessive. For an English learner, listen for the street vocabulary around “chivatos” [snitches], “socios” [partners], “fiarse” [to trust someone], and “llevar el peso” [to carry the burden].

“Joven de Niro” feels like a street-born victory speech, full of hunger, loyalty, and sharp jokes. DELAOSSA and Ozmut look back at their neighborhood, where they grew up around old fishermen, balcony football celebrations, Camarón playing after the party, and people trying to escape hard days. The line “aprendimos para quedarnos con to’” [we learned so we could keep it all] turns education, rap, and ambition into tools for getting ahead. “Joven de Niro” means “young De Niro,” a nickname that suggests a tough, larger-than-life character moving through rough streets. The song also refuses fake loyalty: “Prefiero comer solito de mi plato” [I’d rather eat alone from my own plate] than share with flatterers and informers, especially the people who appear only after success arrives.

The lyrics mix pain with extravagant dreams. He remembers losing someone to cancer, gives coins to homeless people, and raises a glass for those who are gone, yet he still wants diamonds, a mansion, good wine, and a packed room. García Márquez, Kurosawa, and Dersu Uzala represent the books and films that fed his imagination beyond the street; Zidane, Héctor Lavoe, Camarón, and San Siro connect his world to football and music. The Spanish slang makes the voice direct and playful: “The world is yours” [the world belongs to you] sounds like advice to a young person with everything ahead of them. By the end, the message is clear and shouted like a crew chant: “empezamos sin ná y nos quedamos con tó” [we started with nothing and ended up with everything].

“Mejor Callao” means “Better quiet” or “Better keep your mouth shut,” using a shortened, slangy form of callado. DELAOSSA, El Niño Snake and J.Moods build the song around a warning: you can listen and watch, but do not talk too much. The repeated line “puedes oír, puedes ver, pero mejor callado” [you can hear, you can see, but better stay quiet] gives the track its sharp, almost threatening hook. The lyrics mock loud people who act important, open champagne, wear expensive brands such as Philipp Plein, and talk as if success belongs only to them. “Esa manada de charlatanes” [that pack of chatterboxes] is a funny but cutting description of people whose mouths run faster than their achievements. The song suggests that silence can be its own kind of power: “el que está callado suele ser más loco” [the one who stays quiet is often crazier].

Under the boasts, the verses show a harder life. The speaker says he came up from below, has lived angry almost since childhood, drinks through the night, and struggles with false affection. He describes the street as a place where people survive, wait for their chance, and learn what they are worth. The image “lo que valgo, lo que vales, la calle su teoría” [what I am worth, what you are worth, the street is its theory] reduces status to what life outside actually proves. There is also a clever image of consequences returning “como un boomerang” [like a boomerang], while luck cannot last forever. The result is a blunt rap performance full of threats, luxury references, alcohol, loyalty to the crew, and a tired survivor’s voice. Even when the speaker sounds proud, lines such as “me apuñalo antes de que me vea caer” [I stab myself before I see myself fall] reveal how fiercely he fights his own weakness.

DELAOSSA, Akapellah, and J.Moods team up for "Envy," a track that really digs into the dark side of success. It's all about how "la maldad a lo largo de la esfera se pasea" [evil roams across the globe], and how things seem to be going "de mal en peor" [from bad to worse] with no easy fix. They hit hard on the idea that being successful comes with a price, mentioning an "interminable lista de personas que callaron" [endless list of people who were silenced] because they dared to think bigger than what they were taught.

The song also touches on the dangers of envy within the rap world, with Akapellah recalling how "negros que inspiraron a otros negros talentosos y fueron asesinados por otros negro envidiosos" [Black men who inspired other talented Black men were murdered by other envious Black men]. It's a powerful reminder to focus on your own path: "trabajar lo tuyo sin mirar al vecino" [work on your own without looking at your neighbor]. They make it clear that "rap y de la avaricia son muy malas compañeras" [rap and greed are very bad companions], preferring to stand with those who share, even if they have little, over the wealthy who are often "hueco" [empty] inside. They didn't start for fame, but for "respeto" [respect], and that's a message that definitely comes through.

DELAOSSA and J.Mood take us on a really personal journey in "Es Peligroso Asomarse al Interior" [It's Dangerous to Look Inside]. It feels like a confession, starting with a memory of a last hug and a promise: "me dio el último abrazo y me dijo saldrá de ésta" [she gave me the last hug and told me he'd get out of this]. From that moment, he lives "como el que tiene una deuda permanente" [like someone with a permanent debt], constantly battling time and trying to relive the past.

He's honest about the struggle, admitting he tells people he's fine, but to create, he feels he has to "morir ya sea por la droga por una mujer" [die, whether by drugs or a woman]. He questions how he can rise if he's never fallen. The song explores the creative process, too, comparing their collaboration to artists like Dalí and Buñuel, where "empleamos los sueños sobre el papel" [we use dreams on paper]. It's about pulling something out of nothing, giving form to a kiss or a scream. He even says, "si no entienden lo que digo es tan de aquí zorra" [if you don't understand what I'm saying, it's so from here, bitch], which is a pretty blunt way of saying this is his truth. He's a "borracho bebiendo por tan verso de la nostalgia" [drunk drinking for such a verse of nostalgia], living in non-existent days and cold nights. He found his way through bad company and sadness, and now, a new person appears like a melody. It's a powerful look at internal conflict, creation, and the search for meaning amidst chaos.

DELAOSSA and J.Mood are all about the hustle in "Ganar Lana" [Make Money]. The song is a blunt look at their journey, from being doubted to now making it big. DELAOSSA remembers how people used to look at him like he was nothing, saying "de la sopa nada, despierta del sueño" [from the soup nothing, wake up from the dream]. But now, they're getting congratulations and offers, feeling like a dealer giving out the best stuff, saying "ya tú sabes quién te da la mejor marca" [you already know who gives you the best brand].

It's a story of self-belief and hard work, with DELAOSSA proudly stating, "cuando nadie apostó por mi yo aposté por mi" [when no one bet on me, I bet on myself]. They're enjoying the fruits of their labor, with lines about "cada sábado los culos de mi cama sin escucharme" [every Saturday the asses in my bed without listening to me] and spending money like there's no end to it. But beneath the flexing, there's a serious drive: to make enough so his brother doesn't end up "preso de la cana" [prisoner of the jail]. It's a powerful mix of ambition, success, and loyalty.

DELAOSSA and J.Mood really bring the heat in "La Función"! This track is all about ambition, the grind, and proving yourself in the music game. DELAOSSA kicks things off by saying he's always one step ahead, like a vulture knowing the lion's fate, and he's not afraid to take what's his: "me colé en la entrega de tu premio y... te robé el galardón" [I snuck into your award ceremony and... I stole your award]. He sees himself as a king, dealing justice and having a heightened vision, almost like a prophet.

But it's not all easy. He talks about the intense pressure, comparing it to a chick needing to break out of its shell: "sin presión el pollo no sale del cascarón" [without pressure, the chick doesn't leave the shell]. There's a darker side too, where he admits to self-sabotage, even hurting what he loves most, like the scorpion stinging the frog. He's driven by a need to be number one, because "¿Quién coño se acuerda del subcampeón?" [Who the hell remembers the runner-up?]. He sees a lot of fake drama in the industry, and he's here to end it all, declaring, "llego yo y echo el telón, termina la función" [I arrive and drop the curtain, the show ends].

DELAOSSA, J.Mood, and Métricas Frías team up for "Pura Sangre," a track that pulls you into a world where the lines between good and bad are constantly blurred. It's all about altering your senses and losing lucidity, where "los muertos siguen vivos aunque no los pueda ver" [the dead are still alive even if I can't see them]. The song connects drugs, the street corner, and power, showing how they all tie together and can make you run.

It's a look at life's tough choices and the struggle to find meaning. The artists talk about living among evils, carrying "mares" [seas] in their eyes, and hearts with daggers. They're on a precipice, searching for sense in a complicated world, but finding it fun despite the pain. They're looking for a way out, even if they don't want to escape, and they're keeping their eyes wide open in a city that never sleeps, where everyone is trying to get their piece. It's a blunt take on survival, ambition, and the constant hustle, reminding you to "levanta de la cama porque el tiempo apremia" [get out of bed because time is pressing].

DELAOSSA and Easy-S turn “777” into a lazy, boastful summer day that quickly becomes a full-time attitude. Easy-S starts with “One two three and to the four” and a playful producer shout, then asks for a Puleva, a Spanish milk drink, to calm down after drinking before settling into “Fortnite y fumá” [Fortnite and smoking]. The sun will not stop, but he says “no lo quiero conocé” [I do not want to know it], a funny way to reject responsibility. The dropped final consonants in words such as “trabajá” and “comprá” reflect relaxed southern Spanish pronunciation, matching the song’s beach-town, no-rush mood.

Then the holiday slacker turns into a fiercely self-assured rapper. “Vivo en el sur, desde aquí se ve el mar” [I live in the south, from here you can see the sea] places his pride in his home, while “Whit ma mind on ma money / and ma money on ma MIND” [with my mind on my money, and my money on my mind] makes ambition sound like a chant. He dismisses fake people, leaves money on a table, and compares his swagger to B.I.G., while taking a swipe at people whose parents pay for their Supreme clothes. There is also a sharp joke in “yo soy de Pablo Picasso, no de Pablo e Medellín” [I am from Pablo Picasso, not Pablo from Medellín]: he claims art and originality rather than the drug-world image associated with Pablo Escobar. By the end, the message is simple and loud: he is “deep in the game,” working to “make it rain,” partying with his cousins, and refusing to care what anyone says.
