English:
MexDiego (born 1986 in Colima, Mexico) was primarily raised in Querétaro which is about 125 miles north west of Mexico City. An area not exactly noted for its fertile hip-hop scene.
Since he was little though, he always had tremendous interests in music and urban culture.
“To me, music has always been a good way to express myself in full effect”.
1999 was the year MexDiego made big moves, in fact: to Europe (Germany) where hiphop became a big part of his life, not just music but all elements of this culture, especially graffiti.
2000-2005 MexDiego spent his time with being a writer on Germanys streets but also started to write his first lyrics as an upcoming hiphop artist.
Influenced by the sounds of Cypress Hill, Delinquent Habits, Control Machete, Cartel de Santa, Beatnuts, Dr. Dre, Nas, Jay Z, Wu-Tang, etc. made him hungry for more. He started to become real sincere about the music and recorded his first tracks back then and soon turned into his own worst critic, when it comes to being professional, precise and delivering 100% top quality.
“To me hiphop is something I can be honest about, where I can reveal my thoughts and share my experiences with the world, where I been through, where I'm going through right now.
Music made me being capable to speak about anything that comes into my mind without having scruples about certain topics others normally wouldn't speak about. Through my words I have the potential to accomplish my goals and to reach peoples' minds.”
It didn't take long till MexDiego received mad attention by people who listened to his music so he got his first shows on lock to prove that he was dope on stage with a mic also.
After a couple shows he had all over Germany, he affiliated with a bunch of latino mc's, german rappers and also german producers he linked with to maintain his determined attitude towards hiphop and upon that, to make his sound even fresher.
He dropped a couple of tracks such as ‘'Mex*****” (prod. by Beneluxus from MB1000), “High Life” (prod. by Drastic ), “Terror” feat. Smo, “Tropiezo” feat. Santana (member of group Sharada) and others.
Momentarily MexDiego is planning on releasing his debut EP in 2008 which has the title
“Hijo del Sol”. It will feature a few guest appearances such as “ Santana ”, “ El Coca ”, “ Kalifa ”, Moe Mitchell (Optik Records) and many more.
“I want people to realize and grasp that there is alot of other dope stuff out of the latino world, especially Mexico, not just reggeaton for instance.
Authentic latino hiphop: This is what I will bring to the table, fresh on your plate.”
