Medusa (feat. Anuel AA y J Balvin)

The song 'Medusa' by Jhay Cortez, featuring Anuel AA and J Balvin, is a braggadocious track that delves into themes of wealth, power, and street credibility. The title itself references the high-end fashion brand Versace, known for its iconic medusa logo, symbolizing the lavish lifestyle the artists claim to lead. The repeated line about spending 'thirty thousand on the medusa' serves as a testament to their financial success and ability to indulge in luxury.

Throughout the song, the artists use a mix of Spanish slang and references to violence to assert their dominance in the streets and the music industry. Phrases like 'si la saca', la usa', which translates to 'if you pull it out, you use it,' allude to a readiness to engage in gun violence if necessary, reinforcing their tough personas. The artists also boast about their achievements and possessions, from expensive watches and cars to their success in the music charts and their relationships with women.

Cultural references are peppered throughout the lyrics, with nods to sports stars like Messi and Ronaldo, and even a mention of Anuel AA's real-life partner, Karol G, as a 'queen Mufasa.' These references serve to elevate the artists' status, comparing their success to that of other high-profile figures. The song's aggressive tone and focus on material wealth and street respect are characteristic of the trap genre, which often emphasizes such themes.
