Omega El CTM is a foundational figure in Chilean underground hip-hop – a veteran whose career stretches back to the early 2000s through the Hardcore Rap group Estrellas Del Porno, a formation he co-founded alongside Leviatan Zianlev, that helped establish a domestic aesthetic for raw, uncompromising Chilean rap with international reach. Grotesco is produced by Cheterioways and features Jeff Turner alongside DJ Akrylik – the latter a recurring collaborator in Omega's discography whose turntable work has been present across multiple projects. The track, which shares its title with what appears to be an upcoming full album concept, is a direct, abrasive entry point: Omega's delivery is confrontational and technically confident, rooted in a tradition that kept boom bap and hardcore rap values alive in the Southern Hemisphere while the format was evolving elsewhere. For an international underground audience, this is South American hip-hop that doesn't accommodate the listener – it demands engagement on its own terms.
