Cheque (part. Jon Z y Noriel)

Eladio Carrión's song "Cheque," featuring Jon Z and Noriel, is a bold declaration of priorities and lifestyle. The lyrics revolve around the central theme of focusing on financial success over romantic or superficial pursuits. The repeated line, "Yo no corro por un culo, solo por un cheque," translates to "I don't chase after a girl, only after a check," emphasizing the artist's dedication to making money and achieving success rather than getting distracted by relationships or fleeting pleasures.

The song is filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that highlight the hustle and grind of the artists. For instance, the line "Shorty me twerkea al ritmo de mi fulete" uses the metaphor of a woman twerking to the rhythm of his gun, symbolizing the dangerous and fast-paced lifestyle they lead. The reference to being "Puesto pa'l joseo, to' los día' 24/7" underscores their relentless work ethic, always on the grind, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Cultural references also play a significant role in the song. Mentions of figures like Rambo and Héctor Lavoe, as well as luxury items like the Patek Philippe watch, paint a picture of a life filled with both danger and opulence. Jon Z's verse further elaborates on this lifestyle, talking about dealing with drugs and the constant pursuit of wealth. The song's brash and unapologetic tone reflects the artists' real-life experiences and the harsh realities of their environment, making it a raw and authentic anthem for those who prioritize hustle over everything else.
