The artist emphasizes that each song aims to encapsulate the essence of his artistic journey while emphasizing authenticity and emotional depth. The diversity of the featured artists—including names like De La Ghetto, Manuel Turizo, and Ludmilla—not only enhances the album's appeal but shows genuine artistic chemistry, rather than merely a promotional tactic.
