Getting it to Nathano, because of course I've covered this man before. And with his track, Giza and his other track Madonna, obviously he's impacted just the Latin community, not only with one track or two tracks, but consistently throughout his time of putting out music, he's collaborated with some of the most global superstars in the game, one of them being Oscar Mayadone, of course, And then Nueva, H is his latest collab with his new track Amapola that's out now on all DSPs.

Basically, whenever you're talking about Nathan Elcano and whenever you're getting into why he's such a pivotal player. And of course, the Caritos tombados type of genre is really because of, this man really combines the overall earth. urban beats with his Mexican storytelling. So not only does he have the cultural equity of being from that specific region and making music about it, but now he also has urban newer beats that he can sing over, rap over, and then especially when it comes to climbing the charts with this year being considered, he's one of the more pivotal players for the Latin community. and when it comes to putting out music,

Amipola is already the eighth most played track in Mexico. So as far as the eighth most played track in Mexico, as far as him just being so pivotal to the point where everybody's going to be looking at it from a standpoint of how can you help the overall genre, especially when it comes to regions where it's not as covered because, of course, with traditional Mexican storytelling, only a certain region can completely resonate with that and be able to reflect on just the environment that he's talking about because not too many people live in that area, right?

I'm not saying like nobody lives in Mexico. I'm basically just saying like the world compared to Mexico would be harder to resonate with people outside of Mexico because they don't live in the day-to-day happenings of what a Mexican resident would experience. right so anyways when it comes to the track amopola i think that track is going to have some type of buzz on the charts but that's honestly far-fetched because as far as looking at it i do believe that when it comes to giza and then when it comes to the other track i covered uh madonna i think with oscar made don't helping out on both of those tracks the chart position was uplifted by oscar i'm not going to say that not the nalcano is not a popular artists because obviously that I'll be insane right but I will let y'all know that as far as

putting our music on DSPs and it charting in the top 100 or as far as their album charting in the top 50 it's honestly a far-fetched idea especially for Nathan el cano but I think him focusing on other aspects as far as the storytelling aspect as far as the quality driven perspective it could end up over time having a broader regional Mexican music scene as far as more people listening to it. Because the storytelling from a specific setting standpoint will automatically cut certain people out who's outside of that culture. Which if that's what you intend to do, then of course when it comes to sales, that's just going to be something you're going to have to sacrifice. because now it's so specific as far as the storytelling and where you're from that most people outside of that setting can't relate to the point where now they would rather just listen to

somebody who makes music in their own setting hopefully that makes sense as far as relatability sometimes people can't relate to what they can't relate to like maybe they've just never seen what you've seen been in the places you've been so now whenever you're rapping about very specific happening and instances that only occurs when you're in certain places, now it's harder for people to understand and resonate. So that's basically why I say that, because of course when it comes to streams, this is always going to have a good number of streams

as it's the 126 most played track as far as out the gate on Spotify top 200 global songs with 1.7 million streams on its first day. And then it slid to 157th most played track in the world so as far as the charting position i always like to look at the analytics to compare the superstars against one another because that's really our universal litmus scale for how these artists are comparing to the other superstars in the game like if you look at the sales the stats look at the analytics now we can compare superstars against another superstar and even though they're both

immensely successful we can see which one comes out on top so when i'm getting into nothing now cano My main point is he is obviously putting out thought-provoking music, but at the end of the day, hopefully he gets to a point where he starts to make broader Caritos tombados, which with also keeping the whole mix of urban beat selection, right? But as far as the subject matter, hopefully he can broaden that a bit so that he can appeal to more people. But as far as this track, Amapola currently out now with the feature being Nueva H, a Nueva H. Click my link to your in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias.

What do you think about not the Nalkano put out Amapola? And what do you think about my take about his chart positioning? And do you believe that he needs to change the perspective of his music or no?
