El Hokage

Eladio Carrion's 'El Hokage' is a track that exudes confidence and reflects on the artist's journey from humble beginnings to achieving his dreams. The title itself, 'El Hokage,' is a reference to the anime series 'Naruto,' where a Hokage is the leader and the strongest ninja in the Hidden Leaf Village. By calling himself the 'octavo Hokage' (eighth Hokage), Carrion positions himself as a leader and a formidable force in the music industry, suggesting he has reached the pinnacle of his career.

The lyrics are a testament to Carrion's perseverance and hard work. He speaks about his past, selling women's shoes in Caguas, and contrasts it with his current success, dining with famous athletes and enjoying luxury. The mention of 'Gollum' and his 'precious' ring from 'The Lord of the Rings' signifies how Carrion views his hard-earned wealth and success as something to be treasured. The repeated lines about not trusting many people and having 'dos Glock twin' indicate a life of caution and readiness, a common theme in hip-hop reflecting the artist's street-smart attitude and the need to protect oneself.

Carrion also touches on loyalty and the street code. He makes it clear that if someone associates with his opponents or the police, they are considered an adversary. This stance on loyalty and the consequences of betrayal are recurring themes in the genre, emphasizing the importance of solidarity within one's circle. The song is a powerful statement of Carrion's status, his journey, and the values that he holds dear as he navigates his success.
