Review by 文杰 王
The album Rican Mafia by Various is a gritty and powerful collection of tracks that explores the struggles and triumphs of the Puerto Rican community. From the hard-hitting beats and lyrics of "Poder Latino" to the soulful melodies of "La Isla Bonita," this album showcases the diverse talents and perspectives of Puerto Rican artists.
One standout track is "Boricua en la Luna," a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the island of Puerto Rico and its people. The song's melancholy tone and poignant lyrics capture the pain and longing of those who have been forced to leave their homeland, while also celebrating the resilience and pride of the Puerto Rican diaspora.
Another standout is "El Barrio," a gritty and raw track that delves into the harsh realities of life in the inner city. With its hard-hitting beats and raw, unfiltered lyrics, this song is a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by many Puerto Ricans living in urban areas.
