Monoblock

Acru's 'Monoblock' is a poignant reflection on the transformative power of writing and the artist's personal journey from hardship to success. The recurring lines, 'Cuando escribo el barrio sueña y no sufre, mamá,' which translate to 'When I write, the neighborhood dreams and doesn't suffer, mom,' suggest that through his writing, Acru provides an escape or solace for both himself and his community. The lyrics speak to the struggles of growing up in a disadvantaged area, symbolized by the 'zapatos que no tuve' (the shoes he never had) and 'la deuda impaga' (the unpaid debt), which represent unfulfilled desires and financial struggles.

The song delves into Acru's evolution as an artist, from writing to find peace to aiming for the top of the Latin Hip-Hop scene. He acknowledges a higher force guiding him and the therapeutic nature of his craft. The distinction between those who believe he owes them something and those who truly support him is a significant theme, emphasizing the importance of genuine connections over transactional relationships. Acru's determination to remain authentic in an industry that can often demand conformity is clear when he expresses his desire to 'escalar siendo yo mismo' (climb being myself).

'Monoblock' also touches on Acru's ambition and resilience. He speaks of his early responsibility to contribute financially when his father couldn't, his honor in his craft, and his aspiration to leave a lasting legacy. The song is a testament to his hard work and the respect he has earned, not through digital likes, but through the tangible support of his fans, symbolized by 'viseras y tags' (caps and tags). Acru's story is one of overcoming adversity, finding strength in one's roots, and the belief that writing can be a powerful tool for change and hope.
