Monterrey’s Carla Reyna has been breaking barriers and crushing beats going back to her 2007 debut as Niña Dioz, and sweet baby Jesus she just keeps getting better and better. As Mexico’s first openly queer rapper, Niña Dioz’s idiosyncratic flow and bold mix of urban backing tracks has earned her a following in the United States and beyond, as well as collaborations with Austin’s Brownout and El Dusty, and oh yeah, even a spot in Grand Theft Auto V‘s East Los Santos radio.
Niña Dioz has only expanded her mission of empowerment and social equality in the past decade and a half, as evidenced by her recently released single and music video (perfect for your Cinco de Mayo playlist), “Último Perreo”!
