In an exclusive interview, Puerto Rican rapper Ankhal talks about his upcoming music and his career plans since recovering for from a grisly shooting that left him in a wheelchair.
Ankhal wrote his verses quickly and then recorded a powerful video for the track, where he takes control of his own narrative and vividly shows everything that happened to him. While some artists might have shied away from such graphic visuals, Ankhal isn’t afraid to put it all out there. One scene depicts the two men coming toward his car, and others show the moments he spent fighting for his life in the hospital. Addressing these events was an intense experience, but he wanted to do it.
Once he got back home, he was in low spirits and didn’t feel motivated enough to get back into music — but that changed in a matter of weeks. “I started recording and now we have like 20 songs,” he says. He’s found himself reinvigorated and inspired. Though the shooting got in the way of some of his initial plans, he’ll be damned if anything stops him now.
Ankhal also shares that his new music will span tons of sounds and genres, and move past some of the grittier content of his past work. He wants to show he can experiment with everything: “I’m coming back with other styles,” he says. “I’m a huge fan of rock and I have some songs like that.” He’s a fan of a lot of music, and he’s especially drawn to the rapper, who he sees as a source of inspiration. “I’m a huge fan of his,” he says. “I listen to him all the time. He’s real, he’s an OG.
