the rapper ecko reflected on the pressures that persecute an artist who “used to success” and noted that he had to learn on the fly to “walk carefully” to keep safe from certain dangers. This is how the artist explains in response to a query from Télam about the temporary withdrawal of the joaquiwho announced that he was leaving the stages until further notice to attend “post-traumatic stress”and the serious accident that his colleague and friend Kaleb Dimasi starred in April in the western highwaywhen he crashed his car into a municipal patrol.
“Luckily I was able to overcome those moments in which my head was a little tormented and it affected my personal life. Yes they have caught me comedownsbecause you reach a certain point where you no longer know where to go and you think ‘And now what do I do with my music?’. One get used to successthat all the songs have to be number one and have to be playing, “he said.
He added: “The reality is that there is a lot of competition and a lot of music and not only among Argentine colleagues but now we are already entering into a competition with the worldwith levels and a rod left by artists like bizarre that nails all the songs and they are world number one, but at the same time it also comes from the same side, from Argentina”.
For the rapper, with history within the golden pages of the freestyle and recognized as a versatile artist capable of crossing borders between diverse urban genresthe rage behind the music producer who topped the charts with his sessions with Shakira, Quevedo and Featherweight can serve as food for motivation from the rest of the Argentine scene, but also a pressure that gives vertigo to their careers.
“I was reading about the joaqui and we were just talking recently about doing something together, but I don’t know where he is in his life. I advised Kaleb a lot because it’s true that he hit a stick for which he almost lost his life. It’s hard and you have to be carefulalways keeping in mind that we are young, that there is a whole life ahead of us and that we must enjoy the present but taking certain care, “added the musician in communication from Puerto Rico.

“Now, for example, I am in Puerto RicoI go to the studios and they ask me about him rkt. They don’t understand how we arrange the track, and I explain to them that when we go to the bowling alley we dance remixed versions, that all the songs adjust to the rkt tempo.
