Puerto Rican rapper Kendo Kaponi released his first album in eight years, 'Apocalipto', on Friday. The 15-track production features collaborations with notable artists such as Yandel, Farruko, and Jay Wheeler. Kendo Kaponi, also known as 'El Demonio de la Tinta', created this personal and transcendent work after one of the most difficult periods in his life, which included the death of his son.
The album's concept stems from this challenging time, marked by profound losses, including the death of his son and fellow artist Pacho. The album takes the listener through Kendo Kaponi's process of transformation, from the opening track 'Intro Apocalipto' to the closing track 'Flores De Vida'. The title 'Apocalipto' represents the idea that after a catastrophic event, a new beginning can emerge.
The album is a testament to Kendo Kaponi's ability to transform his pain into music, staying true to his roots as a wordsmith in the genre.
