The singer Featherweightwho believes that the corridos tumbados will be part of history, gave an interview to ‘The New York Times’, where he spoke about his meteoric rise in the music scene and the threats he received from a very powerful cartel in Mexico .
Hassan Emilio Kabande Laijathe singer’s real name, commented that his music is inspired by the work of Chalino Sánchez, one of the greatest exponents of narcocorridos in Mexico and who was murdered at the age of 31 in the state of Sinaloa, although he assured that he does not like the style of his clothing, which is why he does not wear it.
Regarding his growing fame, he stated that it is something that has been difficult for him to process: “Many people don’t know that I have anxiety outbreaks. It is very important that people who have mental problems receive treatment and talk about it.”
His success has also brought him problems, such as the appearance of some narcomantas signed by the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervanteswho has a reputation for being bloodthirsty, in which they warned him not to show up to the concert he would give in the border city of Tijuana.
Regarding this, the singer said that he did not know if it was really placed by the members of the CJNG. “There are many things that are false and many that are not,” he asserted, adding that he was not afraid: “The most important thing is to be close to God. And I think that’s why I feel safe. For me it is something more spiritual.”
George Prajin, his representative, also spoke on the subject, because in the end he did cancel that and two other presentations that he had scheduled in Mexico: “I want to make sure that he is not only protected financially, but that we also take care of his mental and physical health. And, of course, your safety. “He can’t go anywhere without having a ton of security: I won’t let him.”
In addition, he said that the themes of his songs, which mostly talk about drugs and traffickers, could evolve: “He will never stop singing those songs because it is what he grew up with, the culture in which he grew up. But I do see that in terms of the music she’s singing it’s definitely going in another direction. “There are many love songs, many different fusions.”
Finally, Peso Pluma stated: “You have no idea how many rappers, country singers, R&B singers contact us.” In addition, he commented that they have several collaborations in the pipeline with renowned artists such as Cardi B, ASAP Rocky and Post Malone.
