Originally released on May 28, 2024 as a digital-only single on the heels of a viral short-form video Obed posted on Instagram. With Darondo’s “Didn’t I” as the foundation and his seemingly effortless delivery and swagger, the song took on a life of its own and warranted a full-length production and release.
In his own words; “I've always loved Darondo. "Didn't I" is one of those records I'd just put on and sit with, and one day I sampled it and started rapping over it with no real plan. Chicano Poetry wasn't even a full song when I put the video out — it was a loop and a verse. Then it went viral and it had to become a real record. I got in the studio with Supah Mario and Kareem James and we built the whole thing out from there. Darondo is the GOAT though. None of this exists without him.”
Calling Oceanside, California home, the Mexican-American songwriter, rapper, producer, and guitarist blends coastal melodies, introspective lyricism, and Latin alternative influences, drawing inspiration from J. Cole, Kid Cudi, the Beach Boys, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. A BMI Latin Spotlight artist with over 63 million TikTok post views, Padilla’s latest EP, RODEO CLOWN - ACT I, continues to blur the lines between faith, nostalgia, and modern West Coast storytelling.
