Xhelazz presented in the spanish capital his latest album called "El Soñador Elegido". The venue, Sala Heineken, was tight packed. El Sr. Rojo from Madrid (also in Doble V's Rap Solo label) was the opening act for the show. He is an ok mc, not catchy and neither has a good stage presence. The highlight was the song "Amarga Bilis" with Kase-O. He also sang various songs featuring Aaron from Hermanos Herméticos and other madrilean mc's. His act, almost an hour long, became boring after a while.
Then came the main act, Zaragoza's own, Xhelazz. The stage presence is one of the best between all of Spain's hip hop acts. His interaction with the crowd was pretty good as he was stoked by seeing the place full and every soul there sing-alonging his songs. He played "Hijos del orgasmo", "Solo son vidas", "La soledad comienza", "Confesionario de papel", just to name a few. In the song "Alas Rotas", he throwed to the crowd some copies of Khalil Gibran's book of the same name. Also he sang his verses acapella in "Estamos Rayados" and "Algo más que recuerdos" (both songs are originally recorded featuring sevillian hip hopper Tote King). He played "Son cosas del Rap" from his previous group Cloaka Company and sang a song with his old bandmate, Fran Fuethefirst. The highlight of the evening was definitely when Kase-O and Lírico from Violadores del Verso came up to the stage to sang the hit "Solo importa el rap" with Xhelazz; the crowd went crazy as Kase rapped perfectly his verses. At the end, Xhelazz, Fran Fuethefirst, Lírico and Aaron freestyled some rhymes for the crowd. Two thumbs up, for this great hip hop show.
