DTMF: A Masterpiece Reflecting PR Pride & Struggles
by Joanne on 2025-01-09Rating: 5 out of 5Bad Bunny’s DTMF is an emotional masterpiece that deeply honors Puerto Rican culture while exposing the struggles of identity, migration, and survival. The album mixes hard-hitting reggaetón, salsa and plena beats with reflective lyrics that profoundly with anyone who’s had to leave the island for better opportunities. Tracks like Welita and Lo que le pasó an Hawái echo the pain of displacement, while others celebrate resilience and pride in Boricua roots. It’s both a love letter to Puerto Rico and a raw critique of the socio-economic conditions forcing many to leave. Every song feels personal, and, as you said, it truly hits differently when you’ve experienced that struggle yourself.
