Ni Con Money (feat. Al2 El Aldeano y Faker)

Akapellah's song 'Ni Con Money,' featuring Al2 El Aldeano and Faker, is a powerful declaration of innate talent and authenticity in the world of rap. The lyrics emphasize that true skill and flow cannot be bought, no matter how much money one has. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'No puedes conseguirte uno así, ni con money,' which translates to 'You can't get one like this, not even with money.' The song underscores the idea that genuine talent is something one is born with, not something that can be acquired through wealth or material means.

The song also delves into the personal experiences and struggles of the artists. Akapellah and his collaborators reflect on their journeys, highlighting the challenges they've faced and the resilience they've developed. Lines like 'Ya yo pase los 30 en Venezuela sano y salvo' ('I've already passed 30 in Venezuela safe and sound') speak to the harsh realities of their environments and the strength required to overcome them. The references to cultural icons and metaphors, such as the 'flauta de Hamelín' (Pied Piper) and 'Hennessy,' add layers of meaning, illustrating how they navigate their worlds with cunning and unexpected force.

Moreover, the song critiques the superficiality and pretentiousness often found in the music industry. The artists express disdain for those who seek attention without substance, as seen in lines like 'Que estos niños quieren llamar la atención pero sin saldo' ('These kids want to get attention but without credit'). They emphasize that their art is driven by passion and authenticity, not by the pursuit of fame or likes. This is further reinforced by the line, 'Esto es por amor no por los likes' ('This is for love, not for the likes'), highlighting their commitment to their craft and the genuine connection they seek with their audience.
