“Normal” throws you straight into Morad’s neighborhood in L’Hospitalet, Barcelona, where sirens, tight budgets, and big dreams are part of the daily soundtrack. By repeating “Odio a los azules, también los picolo” (I hate the blues, I hate the cops), the rapper vents his distrust of the police while sketching the tough reality of youngsters who hustle for cash not to show off, but to feed the family and escape poverty. For Morad, watching friends run from officers, dive into risky jobs, or even cross the sea at 17 to support their mothers is, sadly, “normal.”
Yet the song is more than street angst. Morad also calls out fake online gangsters, praises his crew M.D.L.R as true family, and admits his own mood swings: sometimes focused on money, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes rapping into a mic that now puts food on the table. In short, “Normal” is a raw but upbeat reminder that survival, loyalty, and ambition can grow side by side in the concrete jungle—just don’t confuse real life with console-game fantasy.
