He was still processing his feelings.

Initially, he wasn’t even sure if fans would show up to such a highbrow venue.

They rapped loudly and proudly, dancing in their seats to reimagined orchestral versions of his biggest hits.

Perez is beloved by his fans for telling things as they are and his expletive-laden lyrics.

“I was a visitor in their home, so I had my trepidations,” he says.

“Thinking back on the experience, I think we worked perfectly together.

He’s also been overjoyed that his fans have been able to connect to the lyrics.

“So these feelings accumulate, and people need to find a way to unburden themselves.

Writing this song was not difficult for me.

In fact, I wrote it rather quickly.

What was difficult was the challenging moments that inspired the song.

I didn’t share my feelings with many people.”

“Rene” was one of 11 tracks Perez performed at the LA Phil show.

Pedro Pascal, Edgar Ramirez, Ana de la Reguera, and Manuel Garcia Rulfo were all in attendance.

“Right now, I’m talking with some very interesting people and you could bank on this happening.

Soon you’ll find out about this cool project I’m working on with my label.

I’m sitting down with a bunch of writers from a good anime series and others.

I really want to direct movies, so stay tuned on that front.

There are a lot of really cool things coming down the pipeline.”
