Quite possibly, the most outstanding music produced in Medellín comes primarily from hip hop. The most popular urban projects to emerge from this city are hip hop. They are designed to spread an effective message above everyday resentment. and the elegance of their instrumental construction. The production surrounding them is intelligent and transcends mere testimony to become a contagious feeling in their public performance. From there, it becomes clear why two of the most popular contemporary music acts in Colombia right now are Alcolyrikoz and Dangerous Crew.
Crew Peligrosos has demonstrated since its debut that its strength lies in engaging with what constantly happens on the streets, but through a narrative cwith a language developed to captivate the masses rather than enrage them. He avoids the cliché of resorting to gratuitous violence or pointless insults. He knows how to narrate everyday life without unnecessary exaggeration. Rather, he tries, and succeeds, in captivating the audience with language that is never innocent., but it's like honey to the ears, to have a greater capacity to expand their advertising. Nobody here is playing at stupid malice or inept machismo; rather, they are expanding with the necessary understanding to know how to explain what is happening and to instruct the witnesses so that they know how to overcome their difficulties.
Another noteworthy aspect of this band It's the quality of their videos. We can confirm this fact with the premiere of Very relaxed. This clip, directed by Alejandro Niño, has a captivating development, supported by delicate cinematography and a good script., where existing hopelessness and a sensitive and seductive yearning for change come together in an exciting way. There's a careful selection of songwriters and a skillful direction that effectively utilizes the roles of the band's singers. This is an impeccable work that further enhances the presentation of Antioquian hip hop to an international audience.
Medellín, that city that sometimes hides and takes refuge only among its own, It has a lot to say to the rest of the world in terms of music. The vanguard of its artistic movement in Colombia's second largest city is found in groups like Crew Peligrosos, definitely.
