(03:51):
this drink is deadly. It's called gasolina.

Let me tell you something. Gasolina is gosolina. You hear
this laugh? This is great. Gasolina is like in a
in a in a fruit pouch, in a pouch. And
I have a five year old daughter who drinks capri
sons and all that. So I brought a bunch of
gasolina home. Yeah, put them in the fridge, and I

She I come home and she's got one of them
with the thing, and I go, you can't. You can't

looks like a kid's fruiture. So it was the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Started drinking that, like like you know when we go
to the beach when we were younger, drinking that, like
seven of those crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's funny because that's what I was thinking. That put
those in a cooler, go to the beach, spend the day.
He's easy, ultimate beach day, Gasolina, Bro.
Speaker 2 (04:48):

Speaker 1 (04:51):

the wedding anyway. What's what what was life like growing
up in Puerto Rico? Talking walk me through how life
was for you.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, it's normal like whatever every every kid does,
like play basketball in the neighborhood out like with the
people of of our area.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's like I was raising in three different areas and
it's like I seen too much people and I played
basketball too, so I knew a lot of people before
before being like music shit.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So it's been a process.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Like I was like, that's when that was my first problem,
like saying everybody, like I want to do music because
they knew me and they.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Knew that I wasn't. I was always like I had
like my flow, always like I didn't want to you know.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
What I'm saying, Like it sounds like you were an
athlete though, were you?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You played a lot of basketball respect to all the athletes.
I was just playing around like because I like it.
But when I I fell in love with the music,
or I forgot about everything, and I'm like, I told
my moment was going to the to the college, but
I was going to the studio early, so I put
my hours on.
Speaker 1 (06:08):

Daddy Yankee, donaldmar Bad, Bunny Jalo, Mike Towers. I mean,
is there something in the water in Puerto Rico? What
is it that just creates superstars in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You know, I think it has to do with the
artist that was before us, like the salsa Tramacaram. There's
a lot of names that were like traveling around the
world with their music. If I don't if I'm not wrong,
(06:44):
I think they even go to Africa to perform sali
as always like they already create the path for us.
And but in the in the musically, like the music
like for the streets. I don't know what's happening. Do
you open every door and there's like ten new and
hard It's not like hours like every everyone that I

need to What do I need to experience? What I
need to do? You know, because I'm going back, I.

gotta go to the restaurant like from there, yeah, yea, yeah,

think is the Simone Biles of of reggaeton right now?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's a tough question, I know, because there's so many.
There's so many incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I don't want to say he's sobody and then somebody out.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
They're all really good.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the new generation bro from from not
only from PR like Latin American music, like the Latin
music is going off a lot of other countries that
are doing great music.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Who are some of your favorite artists right now? Who
you're listening to? If you get in your car, who
you who? You jamming car?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I bumped like a normal day.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I've been bumping like they be like Claden new new
generation people from Puerto Rigo. I bet you listen about
your chimmy he got it like crazy, like the street music.
I like to listen to a lot of lyrics.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Got it. You're lyricists, Yeah, yeah, but I have to
mix both worlds, so of course I gotta mix metalies
with with the lyrics.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Sometimes I feel like right now, I felt that I
was like I've abandoned that that area, like the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Really now I'm getting a little bit little back to it.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I know you're you're a big hip hop head, and
we're going to talk about hip hop in a little bit,
but first I want to talk about the current state
of reggaeton because we're Top forty radio station. You know,
we play pop music, which is just short for popular,
and Latin music is now pop music. It's being played
everywhere and you are a part of that. You're a pioneer.
So I want to give you your flowers. Man, congratulations,
(11:12):
But what does that feel like seeing reggaeton on like
such a huge platform right now?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But I think it has to do with there's a
lot of artists that win big enough, like to the world.
Let's say that a Yankee them that opened the path
for let's say by bony people that you know, take
it to the whole new level of.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Course, not only in the music.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So I think that was one of the keys to Like,
let's say, when people look at them, they say, whoa
who else do music like that? And then they follow
they find young King.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, young King man, I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're such a dope flow you go back from Spanish
to English, and as a Gringo, thank you because I
can finally stay along to something because.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't get you know, my English is like sometimes
I don't want to get like caught in my line
and I shame you too.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
No, keep going with the english man selfishly for the
rest of the gringos watching, we would love more, you
know what I mean, Like the Spanglish is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Sometimes I speak better with somebody like you that's your language,
then somebody that's speaking Spanish because they gonna make fun.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
They want to make fun of us. I speak like.
Speaker 1 (12:29):

with Spanish speakers. Yeah, I got you, all right, I'm
I'm gonna try a little bit more. And by the way,
we're gonna break down some of your lyrics. You you've
collabed with so many incredible artists Bad Bonnie, Azuna, Becky
g What are some things that you've gotten from from
these guys. I'm sure they've given you game and put
you onto a lot of stuff. What's what's some gems
(12:50):
that that they've kind of, uh, you know, put you
on for the game.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The most important thing that I pay attention is the
work ethic and the names that you they have it
like on the correct level, like one hundred person they
the word got to be able there, like you know,
that's the key for you to.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Be in the game for a lot of years. Yeah.
So that's what I pay attention to every artist.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I always feel like, you don't have to be the
most talented person. You have to outwork everybody though, as
long as you long as you work it, you know, this.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Is for the one that wanted the most. Yeah, so
depends how you want it.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, you know right now, there's a lot of Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
When I got to like, if I got to pick

And he's kind of like you with the melodies but
with the lyrics, and you know, he can.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm from the era, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I respect the old school hip hop and I listened
to it and I get it like influenced and all that.
But I started listening to hip hop when I when
I was like sixteen years old, like Kanye and see
the era like that made me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Like want to to be one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
That those first early Kanye albums were unmatched, like even
fifty cent, like get Richard die Chian is one of
the best albums ever.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
That album it reminds me like when I was growing up.
And the other one, the Massacre to Masker is crazy.

a little bad, But I know Dug is not gonna
stay like that now. You know, I stayed with mine.
We spried to everybody, but you know, I with Drake, Bro.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Drake is so good. Even if even if Kendrick put
out a record that was so big.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not gonna lie. When I listened to it wasn't
an I report. When I listened to the like cause record,
I was like, because you know, it was like back
and forth and it didn't have like time for usually listen.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It was so fast record. It was like damn yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
But now we put it together, it's like it's like
they see a nast thing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Has there been a beef like that in recorton?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, that's in everywhere, So it is a part of
the culture.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Is it true that you named your son after jay Z?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, he's one of my biggest inspirations like John Carter,
you know.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, I love that man. Your son's three. I have
a daughter four four for four now four. Now I'm sorry,
I have a daughter that's five. Is it tough balancing
being Mike Towers the superstar with Mike Towers being the father.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'm just Mike Tower the superstar. He imagine that I'm like.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Like a superhero, Like I'm normal in the day, but
when it's time, like, yeah, you have to put on
this uniform, your.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Head, the suit, Clark Kent Superman.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Does he know the superstar that his father is? Because
I know four, they kind of start understanding what's going on.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
He knows he's you know, he wasn't in the cover
of Money, So whenever he see the album cover, he
said like, oh that's me. And he watched the videos
when we're crossing in the street. You see that, you
know my phase in every play. Yeah, so he's like
used to it. And when he's with me, he the
people like ask for pictures, So he's he used to it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Fun. He knows when I were they asked for pictures.
He stayed out. Yeah, he watched everything.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, of course, of course when my my daughter hears
me on the radio. She's on the car seat facing
backwards and she has the radio on and she thinks
I'm in the car, so she's like, Daddy, can you
It's like crazy, It's wild, knowing what you know now
about the music industry. If your son came to you
and it's like, I want to be a rapper. I
want to be in recort and I want to would
you allow that? And what would your advice be if
(20:16):
you would?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He's a crazy question because sometimes you know, you want
to be like suffering things that you don't want your people.
Of course, but if he wants that, I'll be bagging him.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I prefer to to be like a basketball prayer or
something like that. If not, I want to be there too.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Because a lot of people that are are so in
the industry like you are, you know, like are like
I wouldn't want this for for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You know, it's not like it is bad. But if
he wants that, no it can he won't be you know,
he's my song is gonna be?

I definitely get it. Where do you live? You live
in Puerto Rico, you hear, mimmy both, But I live
all over the place. I see you traveling a whole lot.
I was again. I was in Puerto Rico for a
wedding in February. I drank a lot of peanut coladas
madella light. Is that what it is? Mada bro? So good?
And there there's another. There's another drink you guys have. Man,
(03:51):
this drink is deadly. It's called gasolina.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Let me tell you something. Gasolina is gosolina. You hear
this laugh? This is great. Gasolina is like in a
in a in a fruit pouch, in a pouch. And
I have a five year old daughter who drinks capri
sons and all that. So I brought a bunch of
gasolina home. Yeah, put them in the fridge, and I
(04:17):
come home and she's got it's okay, we already did those.
She I come home and she's got one of them
with the thing, and I go, you can't. You can't
drink that. You know, it looks like a kid's It
looks like a kid's fruiture. So it was the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Started drinking that, like like you know when we go
to the beach when we were younger, drinking that, like
seven of those crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's funny because that's what I was thinking. That put
those in a cooler, go to the beach, spend the day.
He's easy, ultimate beach day, Gasolina, Bro.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That four of them.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Four? Yeah, I might I might have had ten during
the wedding anyway. What's what what was life like growing
up in Puerto Rico? Talking walk me through how life
was for you.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, it's normal like whatever every every kid does,
like play basketball in the neighborhood out like with the
people of of our area.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's like I was raising in three different areas and
it's like I seen too much people and I played
basketball too, so I knew a lot of people before
before being like music shit.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So it's been a process.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Like I was like, that's when that was my first problem,
like saying everybody, like I want to do music because
they knew me and they.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Knew that I wasn't. I was always like I had
like my flow, always like I didn't want to you know.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
What I'm saying, Like it sounds like you were an
athlete though, were you?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You played a lot of basketball respect to all the athletes.
I was just playing around like because I like it.
But when I I fell in love with the music,
or I forgot about everything, and I'm like, I told
my moment was going to the to the college, but
I was going to the studio early, so I put
my hours on.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, now she's happy that you did that at this point, Yeah, absolutely,
Daddy Yankee, donaldmar Bad, Bunny Jalo, Mike Towers. I mean,
is there something in the water in Puerto Rico? What
is it that just creates superstars in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You know, I think it has to do with the
artist that was before us, like the salsa Tramacaram. There's
a lot of names that were like traveling around the
world with their music. If I don't if I'm not wrong,
(06:44):
I think they even go to Africa to perform sali
as always like they already create the path for us.
And but in the in the musically, like the music
like for the streets. I don't know what's happening. Do
you open every door and there's like ten new and
hard It's not like hours like every everyone that I
(07:07):
listen to, new artists, the new generation, they got like something.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They have been studying the games.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Absolutely, man, well listen, there's a lot of success coming
out of Puerto Rico. It's been absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't know. I can't tell you like like something.
I think it's the food.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Man, which by the way, the food is incredible. If
I'm gonna go back to Puerto Rico, what do I
need to What do I need to experience? What I
need to do? You know, because I'm going back, I.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Can tell you like big names of restaurants, but you
gotta go to the restaurant like from there, yeah, yea, yeah,
from Puerto rican and go to like is the island,
like Porto Rigo's an island. But when you are in Lari,
like in the city, it's not the same when you
go to Thela so out there.

think is the Simone Biles of of reggaeton right now?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's a tough question, I know, because there's so many.
There's so many incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:50):

Speaker 1 (09:54):
They're all really good.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the new generation bro from from not
only from PR like Latin American music, like the Latin
music is going off a lot of other countries that
are doing great music.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Who are some of your favorite artists right now? Who
you're listening to? If you get in your car, who
you who? You jamming car?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I bumped like a normal day.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I've been bumping like they be like Claden new new
generation people from Puerto Rigo. I bet you listen about
your chimmy he got it like crazy, like the street music.
I like to listen to a lot of lyrics.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Got it. You're lyricists, Yeah, yeah, but I have to
mix both worlds, so of course I gotta mix metalies
with with the lyrics.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Sometimes I feel like right now, I felt that I
was like I've abandoned that that area, like the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Really now I'm getting a little bit little back to it.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I know you're you're a big hip hop head, and
we're going to talk about hip hop in a little bit,
but first I want to talk about the current state
of reggaeton because we're Top forty radio station. You know,
we play pop music, which is just short for popular,
and Latin music is now pop music. It's being played
everywhere and you are a part of that. You're a pioneer.
So I want to give you your flowers. Man, congratulations,
(11:12):
But what does that feel like seeing reggaeton on like
such a huge platform right now?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But I think it has to do with there's a
lot of artists that win big enough, like to the world.
Let's say that a Yankee them that opened the path
for let's say by bony people that you know, take
it to the whole new level of.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Course, not only in the music.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So I think that was one of the keys to Like,
let's say, when people look at them, they say, whoa
who else do music like that? And then they follow
they find young King.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, young King man, I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're such a dope flow you go back from Spanish
to English, and as a Gringo, thank you because I
can finally stay along to something because.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't get you know, my English is like sometimes
I don't want to get like caught in my line
and I shame you too.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
No, keep going with the english man selfishly for the
rest of the gringos watching, we would love more, you
know what I mean, Like the Spanglish is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Sometimes I speak better with somebody like you that's your language,
then somebody that's speaking Spanish because they gonna make fun.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
They want to make fun of us. I speak like.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
In the movie, So I need to start speaking Spanish
with Spanish speakers. Yeah, I got you, all right, I'm
I'm gonna try a little bit more. And by the way,
we're gonna break down some of your lyrics. You you've
collabed with so many incredible artists Bad Bonnie, Azuna, Becky
g What are some things that you've gotten from from
these guys. I'm sure they've given you game and put
you onto a lot of stuff. What's what's some gems
(12:50):
that that they've kind of, uh, you know, put you
on for the game.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The most important thing that I pay attention is the
work ethic and the names that you they have it
like on the correct level, like one hundred person they
the word got to be able there, like you know,
that's the key for you to.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Be in the game for a lot of years. Yeah.
So that's what I pay attention to every artist.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I always feel like, you don't have to be the
most talented person. You have to outwork everybody though, as
long as you long as you work it, you know, this.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Is for the one that wanted the most. Yeah, so
depends how you want it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):

with the lyrics, and you know, he can.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm from the era, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I respect the old school hip hop and I listened
to it and I get it like influenced and all that.
But I started listening to hip hop when I when
I was like sixteen years old, like Kanye and see
the era like that made me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):

I'm not gonna lie. When I listened to it wasn't
an I report. When I listened to the like cause record,
I was like, because you know, it was like back
and forth and it didn't have like time for usually listen.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
