about

Having spent his teenage years and part of his adult life living in the states, Ikol Santiago returned to Puerto Rico in 2004 and quickly became part of the island’s underground hip-hop scene. His commanding vocal style -cool yet stern, clear and precise- developed through numerous collaborations with many of the island’s greats. Ikol’s solo debut, Iguacas, named after the critically endangered Puerto Rican Parrot, is a deeply personal journey through the MC’s experience growing up and trying to find his footing in life. Tampoco Tanto takes a look at our increasingly desperate society, turning anger and anxiety into something closer to wisdom - and perhaps a bit of hope.

Tras pasar su adolescencia y parte de su vida adulta viviendo en Estados Unidos, Ikol Santiago regresa a Puerto Rico en 2004 y rápidamente se involucra en la escena subterránea de hip hop local. Su poderoso estilo vocal, –fresco pero severo, claro y preciso – se desarrolló a través de numerosas colaboraciones con muchos de los grandes de la Isla. Su debut como solista, Iguacas, compartiendo su nombre con la cotorra puertorriqueña, animal en peligro de extinción, es un viaje personal a través de la experiencia del MC creciendo y tratando de encontrar el equilibrio en su vida. Tampoco Tanto es una mirada hacia nuestra crecientemente desesperada sociedad, que vuelca la ira y la ansiedad hacia algo más cercano a la sabiduría, y tal vez un poco de esperanza.
