old-fashioned poemas will never emerge from this entity.
oh wait, i should never say never as lo clásico always serves as a form of inspiration. so, ¿quién sabe? maybe hoy te traigo algo new, new, pero meibi mañana te tiro algo a la vieja escuela.

odd, quasi-scientific occurrences
change the perspectives of thousands looking to find answers in imaginable unimaginable places. so much bullshit spread across the web.
after spending so much time on it you realize how obnoxious it all is, how much noise it all is & then find out that going back to the basics, be it exercising or reading a book or having a simple conversation in the park will suffice to help you have a plentiful life. 7 deadly pigs
who practiced the 7 deadly sins suddenly become restless as the once obedient sheep suddenly wake up & rebel against them & their dogs. we all want everybody to be nice
forever, but we forget about our humanity & easily it is for everyone to fuck up. feeling nervous whenever i approach the pads
cause i’ve never had experience with ‘em y se me olvida que no hay que tenerle miedo porque en todo se aprende poco a poco, pero como quiera tengo miedo. es algo natural del ser humano, i guess. y seguimos pa’ lante, seguimos metiendo mano hasta crear por lo menos un esqueleto de una pista pa’ ver si en el futuro hacemos algo completo digno pa’ oídos de extraños. naughty thoughts
appear on naughty screens, which leads to naughty acts full of all kinds of relief. mysterious feelings
& anatomical developments hit us in our teens, some even younger, & life suddenly throws us a curve ball. poetría in motion
eso eres cuando te meneas de lado a lado disfrutando musiquita en wikénes libres. so many modern problems
require many modern solutions. i wonder if we’ll be able to solve all of ‘em. a mist of ads covers the streets
as companies try to brainwash the people who work to survive. magnificent days
full of peace, sun & celebration suddenly turn gray as a community meet the destroyers of their land, men fueled by nothing but greed. a little bit of luck
can always help in this surreal journey through life. a nice little night
with the two of us eating cheesecake while watching a comedy flick, what a lovely thought. learning to exist
in a lonely state is truly a superpower. lively students walk in the classroom
lighting it up with joy on an otherwise depressing day. a nice weekend would be
one where the sunlight doesn’t wake me up so early & i can sleep for hours & hours as i try to catch up for all the hours lost in my younger days due to stress & bullshit. joy is taken away

but it can also be abused. when they see me talking english
throughout the whole class you can see them getting jittery cause i’m so used to providing a bilingual class. when they see me talking english they know their behavior wasn’t the best so they suddenly conduct themselves accordingly so things class can be as normal as it should be. what little jollyness i had

you’re working on your passion full-time while i do it part-time & still struggle with my 9 to 5. can’t say i’m not jealous of you. you can live off your passion. you got connections. you got the praise. can’t say i’m not jealous of you. regardless, i continue to work on my own projects & hope to one day reach your status, at least enough so i can work on my own projects without having to rely on a regular 9 to 5. we often reflect
on the loss of innocence of the youth, but what about entire communities, entire countries who lose it due to the interests of men wishing to expand their empires? loss of innocence & invasion all in one. After starting his career with a variety of singles exploring a wide range of sounds ever since 2019, lil joujourecently released Soñando en PR, a compilation that serves as an introduction letter to a broader audience. Soñando en PR starts with “Mmm Mmm”, a collaboration with RaiNao a fun and catchy pop trap banger that shows his ability to create a hit. Next, “Neptuno” is a collaboration with Sahir that finds both artists flexing over a trap/drill influenced beat. Afterwards, Enyel C joins in “Nena”, a relaxing love-driven tune that mixes the featured artist’s dreamy lo-fi aesthetics with lil joujou’s rapping and singing skills. Subsequently, “Stripper X”features Young Miko in an entrancing banger that will surely play well in late night clubs. “Offbeat Freestyle” kicks off the second part of the project as a danceable production that features the young musician flexing once more. Then Rvsell joins the party in “Top Now” a bass heavy production that’ll definitely have people jumping and/or creating mosh pits. Later, “Lo Noto” displays his command of the reggaeton sound as he seamlessly flows over the beat. Finally, the ballad “Paz y Amor” closes the project as the young musician reflects and encourages listeners to enjoy life, appreciate the good times and thank those who have always brought good into one’s life and even those who haven’t in a track where he shows off his Kid Cudi influences.
Overall, lil joujou’s Soñando en PR is a fantastic encapsulation of his sound while featuring many collaborations that elevate the project. Hopefully, a future project will feature more songs where he’s the sole star. |
