Emerging from the beating heart of the United States underground scene, LARJIMAR is a Spanglish R&B and Hip-Hop artist whose journey into music has always been about more than rhythm, it’s been about survival, healing, and fearless exploration. Singing and rapping in both English and Spanish, he has built a creative identity defined by honesty and self-reliance. Unlike many artists shaped by large studios and endless budgets, LARJIMAR took the road less traveled, crafting beats, writing lyrics, mixing, mastering, and even designing visuals entirely on his own. His debut project, “La Luna Llena Se Eleva”, served as a kind of emotional anchor, a deeply personal release born from a period where life felt unbalanced and uncertain.
It was music as therapy, a way to move forward when standing still was impossible. But the story didn’t end there. Where his debut felt like healing in motion, his sophomore work reflects arrival, the calm after turbulence, the peace after noise. Influenced by a wide spectrum of sonic innovators, from Aaliyah and Timbaland to Drake, Chris Brown, Tinashe, Bryson Tiller, and even contemporary shifts in hip-hop and R&B, LARJIMAR doesn’t chase trends. He bends them, reshaping genre lines into something unmistakably his own. Caribbean Spanish rhythms, New York’s cultural heartbeat, and a restless drive to create something “weird and cool” converge in an artist whose work sounds familiar yet never predictable. LARJIMAR is, above all, an experiment in self-trust, an artist proving that with vision, persistence, and emotional clarity, underground music can reach emotional depths often lost in mainstream polish.
Released on August 15, 2025, “Metro Subterráneo” is a ride through an emotional subway system designed by its own conductor. Each track feels like a different station, a distinct mood, yet all connected by a single journey: the shift from chaos to calm, from restless searching to self-assured presence. Where his debut looked upward for light, “Metro Subterráneo” looks inward, it’s not about escape, but about arrival. Built from the ground up in New York City, infused with Caribbean Spanish cultural threads, the record thrives on diversity without losing cohesion. Afrobeat grooves, chill R&B atmospheres, subtle party energy, and soulful introspection merge seamlessly, mirroring LARJIMAR’s personal evolution. His own words summarize it best: “To be good with others, you gotta be good with yourself.” And that’s the heart of the album, music not only meant to be heard, but to be lived with. It’s an R&B project unafraid to take risks, a body of work that shifts styles without losing emotional weight, a second chapter from an artist who no longer feels the need to shout to be heard. “Metro Subterráneo” doesn’t demand your attention, it earns it, patiently, beautifully, one groove at a time.

Looking Back:
“Looking Back” opens “Metro Subterráneo” with a sound that is both comforting and inviting, immediately placing the listener in a space that feels warm, intimate, and reflective. Rather than relying on dramatic shifts or sudden changes, the track thrives on consistency, allowing its groove to settle like a steady heartbeat that guides the entire piece.

His delivery is smooth and soulful, filled with an understated confidence that feels genuine and personal. His voice carries a smooth, tender and soulful quality. He carries the lyrics with vulnerability and passion. There are moments where his voice is double-tracked, giving it an ethereal depth and texture, almost as if he is harmonizing with his own reflections past and present selves overlapping in sound. The effect adds richness without disrupting the intimate vibe, creating a sense of closeness between artist and listener. His voice feels like a conversation, calm and intentional, never forcing emotion but allowing the natural weight of his words and tone to resonate.

Walkin Ere’:
“Walkin Ere’” emerges as one of the most contemplative and immersive tracks on “Metro Subterráneo”, enveloping the listener in a soundscape that feels both grounded and ethereal. From the very first beat, the rhythm establishes itself with a steady, unhurried pace, never rushing, never faltering, like the sound of footsteps echoing in a quiet passageway. The percussion is soft yet pronounced enough to create a sense of motion, as though guiding the listener through an introspective stroll. Beneath it, the bassline hums steadily, providing warmth and anchoring the dreamy textures that glide in and out of focus. Layers of synth pads and melodic tones wash gently across the track, giving it a misty, atmospheric quality that evokes the sensation of wandering through memory or imagination. Unlike songs that seek to dazzle with constant shifts, “Walkin Ere’” holds its strength in its constancy, the hypnotic repetition of its groove lulls the listener into a meditative state, where every subtle detail in the production feels magnified and significant.
LARJIMAR’s vocal performance perfectly matches the reflective tone of the music. His delivery is calm and smooth, almost conversational, as though he’s narrating thoughts that drift across his mind during a quiet walk. What stands out are the moments of vocal layering, where his voice is double-tracked to create depth and resonance, giving the impression that past and present versions of himself are walking side by side, conversing in unison. This subtle production choice heightens the song’s introspective quality, reinforcing the theme of inner dialogue and self-reflection. The mixing places his vocals close to the listener, intimate and direct, while leaving enough space for the instrumental textures to breathe and shimmer around him. The interplay between voice and instrumentation is seamless; the rhythm never overshadows the vocals, and the dreamy atmosphere never becomes so dense that it loses clarity. Instead, everything blends into a cohesive whole, emphasizing balance and emotional connection over dramatic flair.
As the track unfolds, “Walkin Ere’” proves that simplicity can be profoundly powerful when executed with intention and artistry. The groove remains steady from start to finish, but within that constancy lies its strength: it creates an unbroken atmosphere where the listener can fully immerse themselves without distraction. The dreamy textures, the layered vocals, and the warmth of the instrumentation all combine to create a song that feels like a journey inward, a personal walk through thought, memory, and emotion. By the time the final notes fade, the listener is left with a lingering sense of calm, as though they’ve just walked alongside the artist through a quiet reflection of his own inner world. It’s this ability to turn simplicity into something deeply resonant that makes “Walkin Ere’” so captivating, and it cements the track as one of the album’s most intimate and emotionally rewarding moments.
Floro Caverns:
“Floro Caverns” is one of the most atmospheric and sonically adventurous moments on “Metro Subterráneo”, inviting the listener into a soundscape that feels vast, mysterious, and almost otherworldly. Right from its opening, the track crafts an ambience that resembles stepping into a cavernous space filled with echoes and shadows. The percussion is steady but softened, not aggressive, giving the rhythm a restrained flow that feels more like a pulse than a driving beat. Underneath, the bassline hums with a deep resonance, filling the sonic space much like the natural reverberation inside a cavern. Synth pads stretch and shimmer across the background, sometimes swelling, sometimes fading, creating waves of texture that give the song its immersive, dreamlike quality. The title “Floro Caverns” itself is embodied musically; the song feels like a journey into hidden spaces, where each sound illuminates another corner of the underground landscape LARJIMAR is guiding us through.
LARJIMAR’s vocals in this track enhance its cavernous atmosphere by leaning into subtlety and spaciousness. His voice isn’t forceful but rather floats over the instrumental, allowing the instrumental textures to envelop and expand around him. At times, his vocals are doubled or layered faintly, producing a ghostly effect that fits seamlessly with the echoing, subterranean mood of the track. This vocal approach makes it feel as though he is both the guide and the echo within the cavern, existing in multiple dimensions at once. There’s a soulful restraint in his delivery, with each line allowed to stretch and linger, blending into the surrounding instrumentation instead of dominating it. This deliberate interplay between his vocals and the ambient production underscores the introspective and meditative themes that run throughout Metro Subterráneo, turning the track into an intimate yet expansive listening experience.
As “Floro Caverns” progresses, it doesn’t aim to surprise with sudden rhythmic or melodic shifts; instead, it deepens its atmosphere by reinforcing the mood it establishes from the start. The groove remains constant, acting as a steady guide, while the dreamy instrumentation layers ebb and flow like light flickering against stone walls. Small production details, like subtle reverb trails, faint melodic fragments, and the depth of the bass, give the track richness without overcrowding it. The result is a piece that feels timeless, encouraging the listener to lose themselves in its space and drift with its unhurried motion. By the time it closes, “Floro Caverns” leaves a lingering impression of calm introspection mixed with awe, as though the listener has just walked through a hidden passage of the self and emerged more attuned to their inner world. It’s a masterful example of LARJIMAR’s ability to craft songs that are not only heard but also felt, turning atmosphere into emotion and minimalism into something profound.
Ferrocarril Samaná:
“Ferrocarril Samaná” doesn’t immediately pull the listener into a rhythm; instead, it invites them gently, opening with a tapestry of ambient textures and calming guitar lines that paint a serene and spacious introduction. These guitar phrases are subtle, each note ringing out with clarity, almost like ripples across still water, while airy synths drift in the background, creating an atmosphere that feels endless yet intimate. The effect is immersive, like the hush of a train station before departure, where the quiet anticipation carries as much weight as the journey itself. As these textures settle, the percussion eases in with steady restraint, its pulse recalling the hypnotic cadence of wheels turning against tracks. Nothing is hurried, nothing is forced; the groove arrives naturally, giving the song a steady forward motion while preserving the reflective calm of its opening. This slow, deliberate build captures the essence of travel, patient, steady, and full of quiet wonder.
When LARJIMAR’s vocals emerge, they flow seamlessly into this carefully constructed atmosphere, echoing the same restraint and meditative tone that the instrumental embodies. His delivery is smooth and understated, with moments of double-tracked layering that add richness and dimension, as if his voice itself is reflecting back like echoes across a cavern or reverberations inside a train carriage. The placement of his vocals in the mix feels intentional: close enough to feel intimate, yet airy enough to merge with the ambient textures around him. The result is a voice that feels less like it’s sitting atop the music and more like it’s woven into it, moving in tandem with the percussion and guitar lines. His lyrical and tonal choices deepen the track’s sense of introspection, embodying the quiet reflections that often accompany long journeys. With every phrase, he mirrors the sense of motion the rhythm suggests, forward-looking yet immersed in thought.
As the track unfolds, it never breaks away from its central pulse, instead choosing to explore the subtle interplay between layers and textures. The guitar reappears in fleeting lines, shimmering softly against the deeper hum of the bass, while the synth pads ebb and flow like shifting landscapes outside a train window. Each element feels deliberate yet unforced, working together to maintain an atmosphere of continuity and calm. By the end, “Ferrocarril Samaná” feels less like a single song and more like an experience, an unbroken ride where sound, memory, and movement converge. Its title roots it in a cultural and historical space, while its music reaches outward into something universal, evoking the timelessness of travel and the rhythm of thought. It is one of the album’s most cinematic pieces, embodying both journey and reflection in equal measure, and it showcases LARJIMAR’s ability to turn a steady groove into something vast, atmospheric, and deeply resonant.
