PerúLapiz Conciente
Avelino Figueroa, a Hip-Hop artist who calls himself the father of Dominican rap despite the genre's longer history. Lapiz Conciente markets himself as a rebel to appeal to lower-class youth, often painting musically educated or established artists as enemies of the people for not being from the barrio. He famously insults legends like Juan Luis Guerra, labeling them as rich white kids despite their actual local roots in Ciudad Nueva. His career is defined by class resentment and an ego that demands awards like the Soberano (the Dominican Republic's premier arts awards) while attacking Acroarte (the association of art journalists) when he is not recognized.
I give the underage girls plenty of action, it is no mystery to anyone that I smoke weed.
