Lo Real Bio
By Ryan ********
Rapper Lo Real (AKA Danny Ramirez) spits his music from the heart. A native of Lima, Peru, Lo Real understood that the world is a place where one's voice can be muffled, oppressed even.
Says Real, "I'm from a neighborhood where the street is the school and the school is an excuse for people that can't handle the streets. The streets taught me how to keep fighting for the things that I want."
Lo Real's music emits from the soul of a young man from the hood just trying to make a better life for himself in society. "The message that my music states is 99% true. I try to show the world that people from the streets can do anything."
Lo Real emigrated to the United States in 1998. Growing up, Real was exposed to old school salsa, hip hop and bolero, which have blended together to create Ramirez's unique sound. Among the artists that Real credits with inspiring him are Vico C, Hector Lavoe, La Fania, Oscar De Leon, and Willy Colon.
"My inspiration comes from my everyday life," says Real, 25. I came to the music industry because this is the only way I can show what I have inside of me. It's a good element to express and teach."
From his own record label, Barrio Recordz, the Florida-based emcee dropped the "Los Reales" mixtape in February of 2007. Featuring the beats of producers GDT Productions, "Los Reales" is an accurate measuring stick and gauge for the talent of the Peruvian artist. A mix of latin hip hop and the streetwise stylings of Lo Real and crew, "Los Reales" garnered rave reviews from the Florida underground scene.
An ecclectic artist, Real's versatility has enabled him to shoot the gauntlet of different styles that defines his appeal. "My music is different because I can make romantic music, party, tiraeras," says Real.
"In the first song I made when I was 16, I spoke about my street and my country and how the poor people live happy and the rich people don't enjoy their money." That track, a long with the many others Real has introduced to the world, distinguish the credability of the emcee.
Thus explaining the appropriateness of Ramirez's monicker, which translates to The Real One. "To me, it's like I'm keeping everything real. That way everybody can understand where I'm coming from. I want to make people say 'Oh, that **** happened in my neighborhood'. My story is the tale of the barrio."
Not content to rest on his laurels, Lo Real looks to expand his reach and message to the masses. "I would like to take my music everywhere. I would like to expose my art to all people young and old. I think that I can help a lot in the music industry."
