Álvaro Díaz Essentials
Apple Music
Proficent in hard-hitting trap, lyrically minded rap, and pop-adjacent reggaetón, Álvaro Díaz brings fresh and refreshing elements to the eclectic Latin music community. Taking cues from ’90s-era East Coast hip-hop and more modern styles while regularly adding his own tropical-tinged flourishes, the Puerto Rican millennial delivers his bars with a charming Caribbean drawl and keeps his slick wordplay perpetually front and center. His verses always packed with thrills, the rapper boasts of a daredevil instinct on “Carro Rápido” and a lothario’s libido on “Dale Duro” and the Yandel collab “Lo Que Te Duele.”
