RULO VERDE (part. DT.Bilardo y Eric Santana)

L-Gante's 'RULO VERDE' featuring DT.Bilardo and Eric Santana is a vivid portrayal of urban life, filled with raw energy and unapologetic authenticity. The song opens with the artist waking up in a rough state, reflecting the aftermath of a night filled with indulgence. The lyrics paint a picture of a gritty environment where the police are a constant presence, and the characters navigate their lives amidst this backdrop. The repeated references to being 'demacrado' (worn out) and 'relajado' (relaxed) highlight the duality of their existence—caught between the harsh realities and moments of carefree enjoyment.

The chorus emphasizes a sense of defiance and camaraderie among the group. Phrases like 'los tiramo' al sopi' (we throw them in the slammer) and 'nosotro' vacilando en el tropi' (we're chilling in the tropics) suggest a rebellious attitude and a tight-knit community that stands together against external threats. The mention of 'candelaria' (a type of firework) and 'sicaria' (female hitmen) adds a layer of danger and excitement, indicating that these individuals are not to be trifled with.

L-Gante's self-identification as a 'negro cumbiero' (a black cumbia musician) and his pride in his 'cadena de 11 luca' verde' (chain worth 11 thousand dollars) reflect a celebration of his roots and achievements. The song also delves into themes of materialism and hedonism, with references to spending cash in clubs, smoking hash, and living a lavish lifestyle. The collaboration with DT.Bilardo and Eric Santana adds depth to the narrative, showcasing different perspectives within the same urban milieu. Overall, 'RULO VERDE' is a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of life in the streets, capturing the essence of a subculture that thrives on its own terms.
