VICO C Shines Bright at Premios Tú Música Urbano 2023

The most epic celebration of Latin urban music, Premios Tu Música Urbano, unfolded last night, and it wouldn't have been complete without the presence of VICO C. Ever since announcing his return to music, uniting with Nain Music (Rimas Entertainment) back in February, his name has filled media spaces and ignited conversations among fans. In recent months, the hip-hop icon has released two consecutive singles, "Pregúntale A Tu Papá Por Mí" and "Ella Va," showcasing his versatility with distinct tracks. Yesterday, he released his first album in 14 years, "Pánico," once again proving that his music delves deep into meaningful topics with slick rhymes and skillfully crafted beats.

As a tribute to VICO C's groundbreaking contribution to Latin hip-hop and rap in the 90s and early 2000s, as well as a recognition of his enduring trajectory in the music industry, he was presented with the prestigious "Music Legacy Award" by none other than Yandel. Yandel expressed the tremendous impact VICO C had on his life and musical career, stating, "Now I'm going to tell you a few words from my heart. I'm a kid from the hood. The first songs I heard were yours. For me, you're a master. It's because of you that I'm here. I respect you with all my heart. Thank you for being a light in the darkness." Basking in the glory of the stage, VICO C responded, "My lyrics from day one have always considered my faith. We can say that my career, my musical achievements, came after that base and belief. That's why from the beginning, you can see how songs like 'La Recta Final' have a part that says 'Believing in Christ is the best cure.' I don't think it's a phenomenon. I think there is a God who willed me to get here."

"This tribute that Premios Tu Música Urbano pays to VICO C for his consistent trajectory is just a small example of what we owe him as a precursor of the movement that we celebrate today. Thanks to his music and talent, he opened the doors of the urban genre with the song 'Bomba Para Afincar' when the direction this music would take was unthinkable." - Soraya Sánchez, Producer of Premios Tu Música Urbano.

The proud Puerto Rican rapper graced the stage more than once at the renowned Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He not only emerged as a winner in the category "Hottest Comeback" but also stunned the audience with a groundbreaking performance of "Pregúntale A Tu Papá Por Mí," a powerful record that calls out the state of today's urban genre.

VICO C has solidified his status as an urban powerhouse throughout the years, and his insightful music continues to garner global success. From his initial musical debut to the present day, he has been on a mission to use his musical talent and masterful lyricism to shed light on topics that often go unnoticed in the industry. With his sights set on the top, his new album "Pánico" represents an exciting new chapter in his musical career.
