El Belicón plunges listeners into the gritty, adrenaline-charged world of a high-ranking Mexican sicario who moves through life with a relentless sense of power and urgency. Peso Pluma and Raúl Vega paint the portrait of a man who never travels without a heavily armed convoy, commands the streets of the capital since 2019, and relaxes only with a cigar while sports cars, Tacomas, and rumbling engines stand ready for action. The nickname belicón (from “bélico,” warlike) signals a warrior spirit that thrives on strategy, loyalty, and finely tuned radios set to high frequencies, always waiting for the next mission.
Beneath the bravado and luxury—designer clothes, Kalashnikovs, bazookas, and supercharged trucks—the song hints at the constant tension of cartel life: enemies lurking, the unspoken threat of the panteón for anyone who slips up, and a leader who craves both discretion and domination. Balancing swagger with caution, El Belicón offers a raw snapshot of contemporary corrido tumbado culture, where hip-hop attitude meets traditional storytelling to chronicle the rise of a fearless figure who rules his territory and lives every day on the edge.
