After releasing various singles across the years starting in 2019 and even an EP with MALENTENDIDO, Demesé joined forces with FREEDOM PR on 2021 to slowly release and create what would be his new album MALICIA, a project that finds the young rapper exploring various subjects while slowly expanding his sound. MALICIA starts with “Amanecí En Río”, a story-driven reggae and hip-hop fusion that serves as a fantastic introduction. Afterwards, “El Desmadre” is a great blend of 2000s hip hop and reggaetón that could play well at parties. Then “Necesito Deso” finds the musicians blending R&B, rapping and a hypnotic guitar loop in a love and sex fueled tune. Next “Party En La Urba” is another story-driven track that provides an entrancing beat so listeners can easily pay attention to the lyrical movie being displayed by Demesé. Subsequently, “Jodio Fekero” is a simple rap song where Demesé takes a jab against fakers. The second half of the project starts with “Casi Me Ofenden”, another display of Demesé’s rap skills as he reflects on what he needs to do to achieve his dreams. After that, “Divino Pero Humano” serves as a mix of reflection and flexing by the main artist as he compares himself to greatness while staying humble in a bass heavy industrial beat that later switches into a boom bap and then into a guitar instrumental. Later, “Amo De Nuevo” serves as a blend of southern hip hop and R&B as Demesé touches on love while mixing his rapping and singing skills. Afterwards, “Un Día Pa’ Mi” is a great jazz rap reflection on how sometimes alone-time can allow us to understand who we are and the person we can become in the future. Finally, the project delivers “La Music”, a mix of southern hip hop, R&B, neo soul and dance music that feels like a track that could be a part of a coming-of-age hip hop film.
In sum, Demesé and FREEDOM PR’s MALICIA is a good fusion of sounds explored in the past along with new ones as both musicians touch on a variety of subjects from the introspective to romance and even a little bit of flexing showing rapping, singing, and productions skills in various forms.
