Hailing from the 280—a reference to Madrid’s postal code—Delarue has been spitting out lyrics about his struggles and victories since the late 2010s. The hip-hop artist from the San Blas district focuses on sophisticated rhythms and captivating melodies as he fuses trap with other forms of the genre. With two albums behind him—2019’s Essence and 2022’s expansive Otro Royo—Delarue has made smart collab choices, working with artists such as Love Yi and Morad. “Generación Maldita”—a collaboration with Morad—stands out in particular due to its understated piano and bold lyrics about the challenges faced by young people.
