Natanael Cano’s “Waxesito” is a hazy postcard from a day (and night) spent floating between thrill and chill. With a bonga on one side and a dab of waxesito on the other, the Mexican singer-rapper paints scenes of beach hangouts, house parties, and even work breaks where a well-rolled Raw joint keeps the vibe alive. Red or purple-tinted hair, smoke rings in the air, and eyes glowing crimson all announce a carefree state of mind that is equal parts adrenaline rush and laid-back meditation.
Beneath the clouds of cannabis slang lies a bigger message about friendship, music, and identity. The shout-outs to rapper Alemán, the need for the right playlist, and the promise of a dance partner show that getting high is really an excuse to bond, laugh, and forget life’s pressures for a while. If you spot Natanael’s red eyes, he insists, do not fear; the smoke he releases toward the sky is simply proof that he is “paniqueado y volando,” enjoying the ride and inviting listeners to rise with him.
