Cosculluela (* 15. October 1980 as José Fernando Cosculluela Suarez in Humaco , Puerto Rico ) is representative of the genre hip-hop and reggaeton . He is also known under the names El Principe , El Princi , The Champion Boy , Dracula Boy or The White Nigga .

Life

José grew up in Humaco, a slum in San Juan , the capital of Puerto Rico. He was exposed to drugs and violence early on. For example, his older brother was selling drugs while he was taking care of José. He also grew up as a white man in a neighborhood where mostly Latinos and blacks lived. In order to assert himself against the other young people, he began to write his first texts in 1993 at the age of thirteen. From then on, he regularly took part in freestyle battles. When he was fifteen, he made a demo tape with which he was unsuccessful. He was left without a contract.

When he realized that his friends were already making more money in drug deals than their parents, he decided to give up music and get into the drug business himself. After a good friend of José's got a contract with the Buddhas Family label in New York City , José asked him to present his demo tape to the label. In 2002 he was signed to Buddhas Family Records. In 2005 his first single Te Va A Ir Mal was released , recorded with his friend named Getto . After this single, the plan for an album by Cosculluela was dropped because there were doubts about the success of the LP. Then Cosculluela left the label.

When he returned to Puerto Rico, he made friends with De La Ghetto , who at the time had already drawn attention to himself with his mixtape El Jefe Del Bloque . De La Ghetto gave Cosculluela several features, including: a. with Syko, Yomo, Zion y Lennox and Arcángel . When De La Ghetto opened his own label Massacre Musical Inc. in 2008 , he signed Cosculluela. José released his debut album El Principe in 2008 with Massacre Musical Inc. Since the album was not selling well, De La Ghetto made sure that Cosculluela got a guest part on the Somos De Calle remix by Daddy Yankee . In 2009 his album ( El Principe ) was released with thirteen new songs under the name El Principe: Ghost Edition .

In 2010 he opened his own label Rockweiler Inc. , which works closely with Massacre Musical Inc. His third album, The Rockweiler , was released in the same year, followed by his album Humaco Boy in 2011 .
