Chucky73

Chucky73—born Adel Mejía in La Vega, Dominican Republic, and raised in the Bronx—emerged from the vibrant streets of New York City, absorbing influences from Dominican dembow, Latin trap, and underground drill. In 2017, he co-founded the Bronx-based label and collective Sie7etr3, which captured attention in 2019 with low-fi, high-energy tracks like “Wili,” “Wini,” “Colombiana,” and “Brazilera,” earning acclaim for its infectious, celebratory take on drill and Latin trap. Chucky73 dropped his solo debut album De Chamaquito Siempre Cabezu in late 2020, featuring heavyweights like Myke Towers, Ñengo Flow, Pablo Chill-E, and El Pollito Trapper, and cemented his underground presence with standout tracks such as “Fiti (Lili Part 3),” “Chassy,” and “Zili.” His genre-defying style earned co-signs from Fivio Foreign and Rich the Kid and recognition from major music media. Subsequently, Chucky73 has continued to expand his reach through collaborations with artists including Myke Towers, Eladio Carrión, and Rich the Kid, affirming his nimble, streetwise flow and unique Dominican-American identity. In 2021, he released the album Firmando con la Calle, followed by other popular releases such as Reencarnación (2022), Evolución (2023), and Cartel del Caribe (2023) with Venezuelan rapper Neutro Shorty.
