Mateo Palacios ||Trueno

And I was ready to live life just once
When in reality I was looking, looking for you
I'm not good at showing you what I feel, I know.
But I know that my Buenos Aires 'transmits Santa Fe' to you
Mamichula, for you I become good, I become bad
For you I lose, for you I win, baby, that's where we are
I wish you understood that you are the only one and the first
So come whoever wants to, those from outside are just a bunch of nobodies, mai
I know that sometimes you must think that I don't think about you
While I plan to erase your insecurity with kisses
I ask the moon if you're okay when I'm not around.
While from here I'm counting the days like a (prisoner)
And I'm back in the same house, in the same neighborhood (oh)
Prowling at night like a lonely dog
I was wandering aimlessly and ended up in your life
Colliding with your eyes and landing on your lip (oh)
I go down at night when the sun goes down
Reaching for the moon just for you, baby
I draw strength from nowhere and stain it with blood, just for you, baby
Ouh, I leave my whole soul only for you (only for you)
I draw strength from nothing and stain it with blood
I have some of your clothes that still smell like you.
That makes me regain the faith I have in love
Mateo and Trueno fight to see who can do you better
If the gossips say they're doing you a favor (ah, ah)
Ma', the neighborhood knows me, ma', I'm a good thug
Willing to shed my blood just for you and my mom
I'll take any bullets they throw at me with my chest.
I'm leaving my life for one night to see you in the morning
Yeah, ha, I find it really hard to give details, to write a letter.
I did my best to dedicate a phrase to you (ah)
And even though he always asks me for more and it seems impossible for me to give it.
You'll always have a soldier, no matter what (no matter what)
I go down at night when the sun goes down
Reaching for the moon just for you, baby
I draw strength from nowhere and stain it with blood, just for you, baby
Ouh, I leave my whole soul only for you (only for you)
I draw strength from nothing and stain it with blood
I go down at night when the sun goes down
Reaching for the moon just for you

It is guided by respect for origins, loyalty to the community, and the active defense of Latin American identity. Its primary motivation transcends personal success: it seeks to use the musical platform to give voice to the realities of the streets, denounce social inequalities, and reclaim neighborhood pride. It rejects the loss of authenticity in the face of commercial demands, maintaining that urban art must preserve its critical, educational, and socially cohesive function for new generations.

baby
You were always a unique individual among so many people.
Me, always so ignorant, but transparent
Looking to have you for breakfast like hotcakes
Turning your moments into a "forever"

Mateo is slender, agile, and of medium height, projecting a constant, alert, and energetic presence. He has striking facial features that convey youth and intensity, accompanied by a direct and expressive gaze. His dark hair is usually styled in urban cuts with defined fades, adapting to the times with dyes or classic street culture hairstyles. He displays a grounded posture, with fluid hand and arm gestures that he uses to set the rhythm, inherited from his freestyle discipline. Although his physique is athletic yet slight, his stage presence visually expands his figure thanks to his command of space, explosive jumps, and a firm footing on any platform.

Clothing: Their aesthetic pays homage to the golden age of hip-hop with a contemporary twist. Oversized garments predominate (loose t-shirts, baggy sweatshirts, and low-rise or cargo pants), along with streetwear jackets, classic sneakers, and iconic accessories like caps, bucket hats, durags, and chains. Their wardrobe blends the neighborhood's street culture with global urban fashion.

Speech: His linguistic register is steeped in Buenos Aires slang and the particular jargon of freestyle and street life. It is characterized by a rhythmic cadence in his voice (even when speaking), a constant use of local idioms, a marked pronunciation of Rioplatense Spanish, and great mental speed that translates into agile, direct, and forceful responses.

Established as a central figure in Spanish-language hip-hop and urban music, he acts as a generational and interdisciplinary bridge. His value lies in his ability to revitalize traditional rap by combining it with elements of boom bap, trap, Brazilian funk, rock, and South American folk genres. Raised on the legacy of classic hip-hop through family influence, his music not only seeks commercial entertainment but also reclaims social protest, territorial pride, and neighborhood narratives. He has influenced a legion of young artists by demonstrating that massive international success can be achieved while maintaining a discourse of cultural identity, clear roots, and respect for the original pillars of urban culture.

Born and raised in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca, his development is a direct result of an environment steeped in art and cultural resistance. The son of Pedro "Peligro" Palacios, a leading figure in Argentine rap and a community activist, he grew up surrounded by hip-hop workshops, freestyle battles in public squares, and the vibrant community life of the city's south side. This early immersion allowed him to master metrics and oral expression from childhood. His journey through local freestyle competitions, culminating in victories at the region's most prestigious tournaments, honed the discipline and mental agility that paved the way for his establishment as a professional studio artist.

Unlike the vibrant persona he projects in the spotlight, in his daily life he is known for being reserved, observant, and deeply connected to his inner circle. He remains grounded thanks to his strong ties to his family, childhood friends, and the community of his hometown. He is characterized by a precocious maturity acquired through his early professional experience. He is humble in person, thoughtful when addressing social or justice issues, and loyal to his principles. Away from the limelight, he values ​​quiet time, consistent study, and preserving his personal life away from the frenzy of fame.
