Villano Antillano

“I’m not a role model, I’m a role villain” says Puerto Rican rapper Villano Antillano when asked about their fearless persona and what their dissidence as an openly bisexual and non-binary MC has meant to the LGBTTQ community on the island. The artist gained notoriety after responding to a series of diss tracks among famous Latin Trap stars and rappers with their single “Pato Hasta La Muerte”; an anthem for many who have suffered abuse and discrimination on the basis of their gender identity or sexual orientation and follow the urban music scene. As one of the first artists to take a stand against the blatant misogyny and LGBTTQ-phobias present in the industry, their approach to music is as revolutionary and defiant as it is conscious and lesson-packed.
