Description
Born in Georgia to a Mexican family, J. Raul Garcia--better known by his stage name, WHATUPRG--wears his Christian faith on his sleeve. His two EPs, Pleasant Hill and RAUL, are brimming with allusions to his faith and his family heritage. Garcia's music tells a story, one characterized by both the trauma of his father's deportation and the freedom RG has found in religion. "Aqui no existe la ley," RG quips in "Wesside"--his innovative sound certainly isn't tied to any law. He's mixing slick hip-hop grooves with Dirty South trap, while nodding to his Latin roots. Parris Chariz, Aklesso and Tommy Royale join him for the Saint Holy Tour.
