Eladio Carrión
Latin Grammy Winner.
Trap Pioneer.
Latin Grammy winner. Trap pioneer. One of the most respected voices across both Latin and American hip-hop. Eladio Carrión brought his world to the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires — and La Familia Smile was there to film every moment of a historic night, including a special guest appearance from one of Argentina's biggest stars, Paulo Londra.
Eladio Carrión is not just a Latin trap artist — he is the architect of a sound that has reshaped the entire Latin urban landscape. Born in Kansas to a military family and raised in Puerto Rico, his journey from aspiring swimmer and online comedian to Latin Grammy-winning rapper is one of the most compelling stories in modern music.
His sharp baritone voice, extraordinary freestyle skills, and dynamic lyricism have earned him a place alongside the greatest names in the genre. Bad Bunny, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Future, KAROL G, Daddy Yankee — the list of artists who have chosen to collaborate with Eladio Carrión reads like a who's who of global music. And every collaboration reinforces the same truth: when Eladio is in the room, the level rises.
The Award — Latin Grammy 2023
In 2023, Eladio Carrión took home the Latin Grammy for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song for "Me Gustas Natural" — a moment that validated what the streets already knew. He is not just one of the best Latin trap artists of his generation. He is one of the best, full stop.
The Artist — A Pioneer of Latin Trap
Eladio Carrión's story begins far from the stages he now commands. Born in Kansas to a military family, he moved constantly before settling in Puerto Rico — the island that shaped his sound, his identity, and his vision. Before music, he was an aspiring competitive swimmer. Before that, he found his first audience online, building a following through comedic videos on Vine and Instagram that showed the charisma and timing that would later define his performances.
The transition to music was inevitable. His debut projects introduced a sound that felt both completely fresh and deeply rooted — Latin trap with lyrical depth, melodic range, and a baritone delivery that cut through everything around it. Projects like Sauce Boyz, 3MEN2 KBRN, Sol María, and DON KBRN built a catalogue that spans moods, tempos, and styles — proof of an artist who refuses to be confined to a single lane.
"Eladio Carrión represents the evolution of Latin urban music — an artist who took trap, hip-hop, and reggaeton and made something entirely his own. The Movistar Arena night in Buenos Aires was proof of exactly how far that sound has travelled."
La Familia Smile x Eladio Carrión
When Eladio Carrión took the stage at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, La Familia Smile was on the ground filming one of the most electric nights in recent Argentine concert history. The Movistar Arena is one of South America's most prestigious venues — a space that has hosted the world's biggest artists — and on this night, it belonged to Eladio.
But the night had an extra dimension that made it truly historic. Paulo Londra — one of Argentina's most celebrated and beloved artists — appeared as a special guest. Two worlds colliding on one stage: Puerto Rican trap royalty and Argentina's own musical icon, together in front of a crowd that felt every moment of it.
