Murda G: Houston’s Voice of Realness and Rhythm
In the ever-changing landscape of independent music, few artists carry both cultural weight and lyrical grit quite like Genaro Martinez II—better known as Murda G.
Raised in a family of musicians and shaped by years of balancing music, work, and study, VALLEJO is now crafting not just tracks but entire universes—layered with meaning, emotion, and intention.
BUILDING UNIVERSES FROM EMOTION
For VALLEJO, music isn’t just sound—it's architecture. It starts with a single emotion and grows into a self-contained universe. “What inspires me most is the possibility of creating entire worlds from a single idea,” he says. Though his sound often falls under the Cloud Rap umbrella, it's the feeling it evokes that matters most. His productions oscillate between the melancholic and the powerful, always anchored by introspective lyrics that reflect personal growth, internal battles, and the unshakable pursuit of authenticity.
A VISION ROOTED IN CULTURE
While his musical influences range from PNL and Rosalía to Travis Scott and DELLAFUENTE, VALLEJO's vision stretches beyond the studio. Visual artists and poets like Lorca and Picasso shape his aesthetic. This convergence of disciplines fuels a project that is cinematic at its core. His visuals—whether in music videos, logos, or album artwork—aren’t afterthoughts; they’re co-narrators. “I don’t separate the visual from the musical,” he says. “They’re two languages telling the same story.”
WRITING THROUGH CONFLICT
VALLEJO’s songwriting is driven by introspection. Lyrics often start with a phrase or visual concept and evolve during long solitary walks. He writes to understand himself, and this raw honesty shapes each track. “I always start from truth,” he explains. This grounded approach makes his work resonate on a deeper level—songs born not just from inspiration, but from tension, challenge, and a desire to give shape to the intangible.
LIVE WITHOUT LIMITS
One of VALLEJO’s most defining moments wasn’t at a major festival or through a record deal—it was the moment he created his own stage. After being turned down by venues, he organized “V de Voy a ser cantante, mamá,” a self-curated festival that pulled together artists, dancers, and creatives in front of a packed house. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a declaration: if the system won’t make space for you, build your own room.
CONCLUSION
VALLEJO is part of a new generation of artists who see no boundaries between sound, visuals, and identity. His message to fans and fellow dreamers? Don’t wait for the industry to give you permission. Build it yourself. From the streets of Madrid to immersive digital landscapes, VALLEJO isn’t just releasing music—he’s offering experiences that invite listeners into his world, one layered beat and lyric at a time.
