Altibajos is a fantastic word that literally combines alti (from altos, highs) and bajos (lows) to mean "ups and downs". It's a poetic way to describe the fluctuations and challenges of life.
In this raw and honest track, Morad shares a piece of wisdom, stating, "La vida son altibajos" (Life is full of ups and downs). He uses this single, powerful word to reflect on the constant struggles and successes he's faced, framing them as a natural and unavoidable part of his journey.
“Lo Niego” introduces us to Morad’s raw inner dialogue, where trust is scarce and self-reliance reigns supreme. Over a hypnotic beat the Spanish-Moroccan rapper scans his surroundings, deciding he would rather walk alone than stumble beside people who are “blind” to reality. He repeats “No soy malo, lo niego” (“I’m not bad, I deny it”) like a personal mantra, insisting that standing up for himself and protecting his ego does not make him the villain. The verses bounce between street wisdom and hard-won lessons: friends who turned cold for money, the danger of false façades, and the constant need to keep an escape route ready.
Yet beneath the tough exterior lies a motivational spark. Morad reminds us that life is full of ups and downs, but strong values keep the road straight and can still deliver a “buen final.” Better times do not simply appear; you make them. By the end of the track, “Lo Niego” feels like both a cautionary tale and a pep talk, urging listeners to stay real, trust sparingly, and believe that if you can imagine a brighter future, you can build it.
