After delivering a fantastic mix of alternative R&B trap in their first project back in 2018 and delivering various group and solo EPs since then, Los Rarxs became one of the ensembles to always keep an eye on in the scene. Now, they finally make their full-length debut with La Rareza, a project that takes all their influences and delivers them in a sexy 10-song/30-minute package that old and new fans will definitely enjoy. La Rareza starts with “Tu Nunca Has Sentido”, a mix of synthpop and funk that serves as a fantastic and relaxing intro to what feels like an encompassing of the group’s old and new sound. Afterwards, “Guitarra” is a perfect of 90s alternative Latin rock with reggaetón de marquesina in a track that’ll definitely have bodies sweating. Then “Oisi” is another great display of how the group continues to develop their brand of ethereal and alternative trap and R&B. Next “Enetepé” finds the group exploring dreambow in a song that again will have people sweating in the dancefloor. Subsequently, “Búscame” finds the group delving into dance and rave music as they continue to mix their rapping and singing skills with some alternative and hypnotic synths. The second half of the project starts with “Nomes13”, a record that could probably be considered as the only one where the group puts their rapping skills front and center showing that they too deserve a space in the hip hop community as they flex, take jabs at the industry, and show their ambitions over a hard-hitting trap beat. After that, “Melacomi” serves as a psychedelic alternative trap and R&B mix that finds the group going back to their roots. Later, “Acuerdate de Mi” is an experimental/alternative pop song that sees the group experimenting with a sound reminiscent of 2000s boyband pop mixed with their style of hip hop. Afterwards, “Arrogantel” takes the group back to their alternative R&B roots in aa hypnotic tune that’ll serve well in late night playlists. Finally, the project delivers “No Tire Foto”, a collaboration with Nester that finds the gang celebrating their status in the industry through a story-fueled house track.
In sum, Los Rarxs’s La Rareza takes a bit of everything they’ve delivered across the years into one neat package that also isn’t afraid of exploring new sounds.
