FCA plunges listeners into the fast-paced world of Rodrigo “El Chino Ántrax,” a legendary hitman from Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel. The lyrics paint a movie-like portrait: diamond-studded pistol at his side, death itself as his shadow, and a fearsome stare that makes rivals look away. We follow his rise from teenage bodyguard for Vicente Zambada to head of cartel executions, with the pivotal year 2008 marking his leap to power. Loyalty, bravery, and ruthless efficiency earn him respect from cartel heavyweights like El Mayo and Los Mayitos, while whole crews armed with “cuernos” (slang for AK-47s) stand ready to carry out his commands.
Yet the song also spotlights the glamorous veneer that often masks this violence. Rodrigo cruises through ranches, big cities, beaches, and dusty trails in sports cars and off-road Razers, unwinding in nightclubs or on a yacht stocked with whisky, champagne, and “Barbies.” The corrido captures the stark contrast between luxury and lethal danger, celebrating the swagger and charisma that define the narcocorrido mythos while hinting at the ever-present price of living by the gun.
