The trio, composed of Gonzalo Cidre (Natos), Fernando Hisado (Waor) and Jorge Escorial (Recycled J), started their career in rap battles and social centers. Their legend began with a first concert at the Silikona venue in Moratalaz, where a thousand people showed up for a capacity of 200, forcing police intervention.
The Hijos de la Ruina project maintains the tradition of releasing a joint album every four years since the initial volume in 2012. Recently, Natos y Waor were the first rap group to fill the Metropolitano stadium with 68,000 attendees on June 7, while Recycled J did the same at the Movistar Arena.
“"Rap was very niche, very competitive, very much about tripping people up. And I think I speak for the three of us, but we haven't done that to anyone."
This new album, which placed at number 6 globally on Spotify the weekend of January 16, shows a thematic evolution. While maintaining usual themes of neighborhood identity and excesses, the record reflects greater introspection and nostalgia now that the members are in their thirties. The work remains self-published, as the group values having absolute control over the creative process.
The presentation tour for Hijos de la Ruina vol. 4 will begin on February 27 in Seville, with all tickets sold out, including the two dates at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, scheduled for March 13 and 14.
