Texas based hip-hop artist Meta releases the Piñata EP

Meta

Texas-based hip-hop artist Meta is back with a new EP, Piñata: out now with Americano Label.

The theme for this release is personal for Meta and he takes the title to heart, “I felt like the piñata is a perfect metaphor for the message of this album. Life is hard, and life is fun don’t ever let the beatings life throws at you stop you from being the best you.”

“For the first time in my life I feel like I’m in a great place to really become who I’m meant to be. I’ve acknowledged my experiences good and bad and it left me hungry to experience more.” – Meta

Meta exploded onto the scene with his debut album Metatation in late 2019. Critical accolades followed the release with The Hype Magazine commenting, “By combining Dusty’s cutting-edge musical stylings with and Meta’s melodic flow and direction, the blend of flavors range from Latin Cumbia elements to catchy Reggae riffs while still delivering a Lo-Fi Hip-Hop feel throughout.”

Now Meta is back with a series of new releases that are tracking his ever evolving sound. By stepping out of his comfort zone and trusting his lyrical chops, he has found his voice on Piñata. Reflecting back Meta comments, “For the first time in my life I feel like I’m in a great place to really become who I’m meant to be. I’ve acknowledged my experiences good and bad and it left me hungry to experience more. Piñata forced me to trust my sound and really create music that I love.”

Piñata is the first three songs to be released from his recording sessions that took place earlier this year; with a full length studio album soon to follow. And communicate a very personal message, Meta comments, “Piñata is a take on my emotions and the feeling of having something to offer the world. It’s my message to really myself and others to know your worth and get through those hard to become the best you.”

All of the songs were created in the studio alongside Grammy Award-winner Mariano and Latin Grammy-nominated El Dusty. Both on the album and EP, Meta tapped into the Texas hip-hop scene, with featured collaborations from Quentin Arispe, Ambrose Brown, Kai Lee, and Shiloh.

Meta reflects, “I had a general sense of what I wanted to sound like and the message I want listeners to receive. Most songs took less than a day to put together and others two or three days to listen to the demo and work from there.”

And in just a few days, Meta, Mariano and El Dusty pulled together the final album, mixed and mastered at Americano Label’s PRODUCE Studios in Corpus Christi, TX.
