Viral Spanish Rap Slang "MDLR" Sparks Debate on Street Life

"We are not people from the street, the song does not talk about that. It rather says that living on the street is not a good life. I want people to know that some have lost a lot, others have ended up badly and others regret a life like that. I am one of them," explained Morad.

"MDLR" is an expression that has become very popular in Spain thanks to a song by Morad released in 2019, which now has more than 24 million views on YouTube. Many young people identify with and find themselves in this song through which Morad talks about life in poor neighborhoods and a working-class family.

The term "MDLR" has been adopted by teenagers and is also very present on social networks. It is increasingly used to denounce all kinds of social discrimination.
