{"product_id":"obed-padilla-chicano-poetry","title":"Obed Padilla - Chicano Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on May 28, 2024 as a digital-only single on the heels of a viral short-form video Obed posted on Instagram. With Darondo’s “Didn’t I” as the foundation and his seemingly effortless delivery and swagger, the song took on a life of its own and warranted a full-length production and release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his own words; “I've always loved Darondo. \"Didn't I\" is one of those records I'd just put on and sit with, and one day I sampled it and started rapping over it with no real plan. Chicano Poetry wasn't even a full song when I put the video out — it was a loop and a verse. Then it went viral and it had to become a real record. I got in the studio with Supah Mario and Kareem James and we built the whole thing out from there. Darondo is the GOAT though. None of this exists without him.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalling Oceanside, California home, the Mexican-American songwriter, rapper, producer, and guitarist blends coastal melodies, introspective lyricism, and Latin alternative influences, drawing inspiration from J. Cole, Kid Cudi, the Beach Boys, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. A BMI Latin Spotlight artist with over 63 million TikTok post views, Padilla’s latest EP, RODEO CLOWN - ACT I, continues to blur the lines between faith, nostalgia, and modern West Coast storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UBIQUITY RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"7 Inch","offer_id":54881823785283,"sku":"RPT-34212","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/images-165.png?v=1791282578","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/obed-padilla-chicano-poetry","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
