Mr. Yosie Locote

The rapper known as Mr. Yosie Locote was born Ramón Conchas on January 20, 1976 in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Drawing inspiration from his previous involvement in gang activities, he began his career in 2009 with the single “Malditos Florencianos.” Encouraged by his friend DJ B-Rapper, he continued writing rhymes and finally finished his studio debut El Duke, released in 2010. In the years that followed, Mr. Yosie Locote issued a string of albums that attained cult status and propelled him to the forefront of the underground Latin hip-hop scene: Riñas, Fiestas y Desmadres (2010), Trece Reglas del Barrio (2012), Florence Gangsters (2013), Greatest Hits (Florencia 13) (2013), Mi Estilo Es Mexicano (2014), Saca las Panochas (2015), and Mentes Enfermas (2016). In 2017, he dropped his ninth album El Maestro de las Rimas through the Cirkulo Asesino and Sony Music labels. Sadly, tragedy ensued a year later as his body was found in the Tetlán Río Verde with a threatening message in what many assume was an organized crime-related death.
