From AI to Spanish-Language Rap's Evolution: Residente Talks 'Las Letras Ya No Importan'
With his second full-length solo album, Las Letras Ya No Importan(or Words No Longer Matter) — released via 5020 Records, following his 2017 eponymous debut — Residente ‘s evolution from a genre-bending rapper to a multifaceted artist and cultural commentator is unmistakable. This latest work, released Friday (Feb. 23), embarks on an exploratory journey through sound, emotion and critical opinions, featuring a diverse roster of collaborations that span genres and geographies, from SFDK in Spain to Christian Nodal in Mexico and Amal Murkus in Gaza. Dressed casually in baby blue corduroys, a matching t-shirt, and a baseball cap, accented with a chain and silver whistle, Residente’s demeanor is as relaxed and approachable as it was thoughtful, as he reflects to Billboard the depth and diversity of his latest album.
