Big Soto

Venezuelan rapper Gustavo Rafael Guerrero (aka Big Soto) went from battle rapping to organizing his own events and releasing his own take on rap. He took an interest in hip-hop from his father, which he transferred to battle rapping on the streets of Venezuela. He studied Audiovisual Science at IUTIRLA and began organizing events at his own home in 2014. Soon after he met Trainer, he joined the Eleuce Music collective, but moved on soon after and join the OBG collective (the two groups promote rap talents on the national level). His debut track, “Exposición,” was released in 2014, and another, “En Mi Mente” with Trainer, showed up in 2016. His debut album Young Cream arrived in 2017. He briefly moved to the Dominican Republic in 2019, before settling in Mexico City. In the same year he released a collabo album, Apokalypsis, with Neutro Shorty. A third album, Good Trip, emerged in 2021. ~ Liam Martin
