“Rich Rappers” marks the start of the official countdown of the release of Castro’s debut album El Cantante Del Ghetto. The track follows the concept of his upcoming project, the success of getting out of his ‘barrio’ to make a living out of music.
Simultaneously, Castro recently received four nominations for the 2024 Premio Nuestra Tierra awards for “Best Urban Artist,” in addition to “Best Urban Song” for his 2x platinum hit “Quema” alongside Peso Pluma, and “Best Urban Collaboration” for both “Ojitos Rojos” and “Quema.”
Now, Ryan Castro is putting the finishing touches on his first studio album “EL CANTANTE DEL GHETTO”, one that will pay tribute to his roots and the hard working people from his neighborhood of Pedregal, Medellin.
