Porque Puedo

Eladio Carrión has reached a point in his career where even the smallest of his releases carries weight. That said, even before *Porque Puedo* dropped, the Puerto Rican rapper often did more on shorter releases like the *SEN2 KBRN* installments than most Latin hip-hop artists do on their full-length albums. Following the intimately personal *Sol María* album and its risk-taking forays into poppier spaces, this five-track return to form for the proven trapero comes with far lower stakes. The dismissively casual boldness of the title carries over on songs like “Susanoo” and the potent “Heavyweight.” The latest in an ongoing series, “Don KBRN Freestyle” lets the bars fly freely once again, reminding that he’ll always be one of Latin trap’s toughest emcees. He lays down the proverbial law on “Código G” yet slips effortlessly into a less aggressive mode for the more relatable “Henny Mood.”
