It’s time to take the music industry and thrust it with some unknown flavor. The sounds coming out of my speakers when I came across this artist’s Myspace profile got me intrigued and immediately hooked. It made me want to know more about the man behind the music. Now I’ll be honest, being a Latina myself I never really stuck to the music genre that is new school Reggaeton probably because a lot of it sounded the same to me. That’s definitely changed today. I found myself already googling his name to find out more about this up and coming artist. His name is Miguel also known as Li2. I asked him where his name derived from and he explained that originally it means “chosen oneâ€. In spanish, that is “elegidoâ€. Much like his music, with a little creative word play you have Li2 (el-ey ee doh). His sound is a rich mixed vibe between reggaeton and hip-hop and his lyrics are captivating in a way that only those that are into real life and real talk could really appreciate. One of my favorite tracks is called “Dedicatedâ€, a tribute to his father who is the driving force behind Li2’s hunger for success. You can check out more of what I’m talking about at www.myspace.com/li2meng. It’s evident in his lyrics how true music is to him. He is without a doubt the next household name artist to hit the music scene
