Oscar Maydon – DISTORSIÓN

Review

If you're vibing with the latest in Mexican music, Óscar Maydon’s album "DISTORSIÓN" is something you need to bump in your headphones. This second drop in his discography, released in 2023, really showcases Maydon’s creative spirit as he boldly stirs trap corridos with hints of narcocorridos into an exhilarating mix. He's not just playing by the rules; he's rewriting them, infusing his tracks with contemporary sounds that make traditional lyrics pop in new, exciting ways.

Collabing with artists like Junior H and Gabito Ballesteros on "DISTORSIÓN" was a masterstroke that packed a heavy punch. Tossing rapper Tyga into the mix on "Kim Kardashian" shifts the whole vibe to something fiery and fresh. Maydon even steps into the reggaetón realm with "YW&F," proving that his talent isn't boxed in; it flows through genres like a river of rhythm — unpredictable yet harmonious.

The production mojo in this album is undeniable, with Joel Núñez and Jimmy Humilde crafting beats that drum up energy, while Marcelo Rivvs spins everything into a sonic jackpot. Maydon elevates his storytelling game from his debut "GXLE <3," with a carefree yet razor-sharp narrative style that's pure magic. Seventeen tracks of diverse beats and storylines let listeners traverse Maydon’s orchestrated chaos — a vivid world where Mexican heartbeats meet world-stage aspirations. - Casey
