After five years under his belt as well as multiple singles, features and an EP here and there, singer and rapper Fanta Rosario finally decided to release his debut album, Yo, Yo y Yo, in late 2022, a project that displays the musician’s experimental hip hop roots and the many avenues he can explore. Yo, Yo y Yo starts with “Donde quiera que tú estés”, an introspective soulful hip hop track where the artist shows his balance of rapping and singing. Afterwards, “Quieren lo que quiero” is hip hop track with a hypnotic piano sample that features the artist flexing his skills. Then “Marbella” is a collab with VEI HABACHE in a track that presents some of the artists’ late 1990s and early 2000s influences with some love and sex-driven lyrics. Next “Ámame” is piano-driven tune that mixes trap, drill, and electronic elements to create a unique sound. Later, “Conexiones” is a hip hop song with that feels like it’ll perfectly fit late-night driving playlists with its lowkey/laid back vibe. The second half starts with “Huracán Color Rosita”, a blend of glitch music and hip hop that continues to demonstrate the different sounds Rosario is willing to explore. Subsequently, “Big Spoon, Little Spoon” features VEI HABACHE and Andres Melz in a bouncy southern hip hop record that explores toxic relationships while also displaying Fanta and VEI’s chemistry. Following that is “RRRR”, a melodic trap track that puts Rosario’s experimental vocals in full display. Then “Fanti bb” closes the project with another high energy track that also displays the artist’s experimental nature.
In short, Fanta Rosario’s Yo, Yo y Yo is a project that properly presents the musician’s experimental hip hop roots to a broader audience, especially the Tik Tok generation with his ability to make fun and interesting songs in two minutes or less continuously.
