As hip hop continues to be the sound of experimentation for many young musicians, Fabian Gutierrez del Arroyo takes a shot at the genre with his debut EP, Mi Capestrano, which uses traditional boom bap beats as he displays his lyrical abilities over a variety of subjects. Mi Capestrano starts off with the jazz rap track “Cafecito Mañanero,” a tune that sees the young musician touching on a variety of subjects including love and critique as he displays his lyrical abilities. Then, “Etiam Farece” is a boom bap track that, among many things, sees the artist reflecting on his lyrical abilities as well as the state of a variety of social problems, one being toxic masculinity. Next, “Mis Disculpas” is a string-driven song that shows Gutierrez del Arroyo exploring the subject of forgiveness. Afterwards, “En La Looper” demonstrates the young rapper’s mainstream potential in a tune heavily influenced by the work of the late Mac Miller. The project then moves on to “Passionsinterlude,” a song that touches on the subject of a rapper’s creative process over a jazzy beat and some soulful melodies. Finally, “Confianza Ciega” is a fantastic boom bap tune where Gutierrez del Arroyo raps about trust in a variety of ways. Gutierrez del Arroyo’s Mi Capestrano is a great introduction to a young rapper who, despite wearing some of his influences on his shoulders, seems to display a lot of mainstream potential as he slowly masters the craft he loves.
