El León

CRIMEAPPLE's "El León" is a raw, unfiltered journey into the heart of New York's underground hip-hop scene. Released on January 26, 2024, under RRC Music Co., this 26-minute album is a testament to the power of boom bap and hardcore hip-hop, with a touch of underground grit. Collaborating with Preservation, CRIMEAPPLE delivers a sharp, mellow, and slightly greasy slice of East Coast hip-hop that's as authentic as it gets.

The album kicks off with "El León," setting the tone for the rest of the tracks. Standout features include "Don't Mention It" with Sadat X, a track that adds a layer of depth and experience to the album. "Lion VS Panther" and "Hunting Methods" showcase CRIMEAPPLE's lyrical prowess and storytelling ability, while "Melena Dorada" and "Quanto Te Quiero" bring a touch of Latin influence, reflecting the diverse sounds of New York City.

With tracks like "Fumemos" and "Vida Mantequilla," CRIMEAPPLE explores themes of solitude and life's pleasures, all wrapped in a smooth, hard-hitting beat. The album closes with "Bulevar," leaving you with a sense of completion and a hunger for more.

"El León" is not just an album; it's a snapshot of CRIMEAPPLE's artistic mission, blending hope and character straight from the heart. Whether you're a longtime fan of underground hip-hop or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, "El León" is a compelling addition to your collection.
