El Rafa

In 2021 I wrote & recorded ‘El Diablo’ produced by Eddie Monge 🎵

The story? I get summoned by the devil to destroy every rapper on the planet — and he brings Pablo Escobar back from the dead to help me. I chopped up real phone intercepts of Pablo’s actual voice and laid them across the track. In the hook, the mothers of all the rappers pray for their babies. The devil & the mothers are voiced by me.

It was COVID. I had time for passion projects.
My homie Mark aka DJ Q Bizzi called — he was working with film lighting manufacturer Creamsource , who wanted to showcase their new frame sync technology. They brought millions of dollars worth of production gear and a full film crew. My answer was obviously YES.

In the clip I play the devil, Pablo, the Mother AND myself. Eddie (Adib) Maalouf plays himself (prick always gets the easy roles 😂). Featuring the beautiful latina mamis Carolina Nunez Melissa & Lily, makeup by my sis Loredanna Nunes , a Ferrari California from my bro Ritchie P — all of it shot at Marrickville Studios during pandemic shutdown.

Real flames. Shooting a gun. Cool s**t. Last take, playing the Mother, I jumped into a kids pool under a rain machine at 8pm in the middle of Sydney winter 🥶

Two things happened after release that I’m still thinking about.

First — Meta hit me with repeated strikes and shadow banned me to this day for “promoting a criminal organisation.” It’s a parody. Pretty clearly.

Second — people in music and influencer circles who liked the track backed off when they saw the clip. Said it was too “devilish.” Too Illuminati. Partly because I was dressed as a woman.

The irony? The whole story ends with me BETRAYING the devil and exposing the Illuminati — revealing they exist, they’re everywhere, and you need to watch out for them.

Does anyone else ever feel like there are forces working against your progress? 👀
