Argentine Rapper Dillom Unleashes ‘La Nueva Violencia’ Album: ‘I’m Part of the System & Also a Victim Who Gets Caught Up In It’

Dillom, the Argentine rapper, has released his album "La Nueva Violencia" on his own independent label, Bohemian Groove. The 13-track album is a reflection of Dillom's self-destructive persona and the troubles of contemporary society. The album's title and lyrics highlight the concept of "new violence," as Dillom grapples with his own contradictions and the impact of the system on his life.

Despite his efforts to distance himself from the commercial mechanisms of the music industry, Dillom's album exposes the darker aspects of life in Buenos Aires, including poverty, war, and everyday misery. In an interview with Billboard Argentina, Dillom discusses the timing of the album's release, which coincides with a World Cup final, and the impact of technology on persuasion.
