Review
Taking you straight into the heart of the hustle, Victor Mendivil’s “Tutankamon” rolls out 18 tracks over nearly an hour, weaving together the energy of modern rap with a slick, Latin American touch. The beats have that polished punch—props to producers like Beatboy and Wicked Outside—laying down a runway for Mendivil to do his thing. He brings in heavy-hitting guests like Alemán and Fenix Flexin, peppering the album with their own flavors but never ceding the spotlight. It's clear from the jump that Mendivil carries the street-smart pulse of Hermosillo, Sonora, right on his sleeve.
Flipping through “Tutankamon” feels like prowling into the city after dark—each track dripping with both tension and style. Mendivil spins threads of ancient Egyptian myth, using Tutankhamun’s legend as a lens to drop bars about legacy, power, and survival. His delivery whips between nimble storytelling and direct shots, never missing an urban beat. That swirling blend of history and hustle keeps things fresh, tossing archeology and ambition into the same melting pot.
What really makes this record snap is how Mendivil’s voice cuts through the layered production like neon through rain. The storytelling bursts with authenticity—each lyric steered by lived experience and the desire to stake out something bigger than himself. “Tutankamon” doesn’t just trace his roots, it claims territory, giving folks a real taste of rap filtered through cultural pride and smart, restless bravado. It's a midnight cruise through Mendivil’s world, and every stretch of road rings with intent. - Sable
