Puerto Rico
This track is dense with everyday verbs and nouns that have acquired racier, double-meaning connotations on the island, from 'clavar' and 'soltarse' to traffic slang like 'tapón' and status slang like 'pauta'. The lyrics also show the Puerto Rican dropping of final 's' in casual speech — 'pide'', 'excusa'', 'suelta'' — a hallmark of the island's rapid, conversational urban Spanish.
