Timeline
Rafael Castillo Torres (born September 17, 1984), known professionally as De la Ghetto, is an American singer, rapper and songwriter.
He was a member of the duo Arcángel & De la Ghetto.
Rafael Castillo “De la Ghetto”, Jr. was born in The Bronx borough of New York, NY on September 17, 1984.
In the early 1990s, his family relocated to San Juan, Puerto Rico, when Castillo was eight years old.
He is the son of a Dominican father and a Puerto Rican mother, Migdalia Torres.
In 2004, at the age of 19, Castillo met with another young reggaetón musician
by the name of Austin Santos—better known to the public as Arcángel—and the two decided to form a duo, Arcángel & De la Ghetto.
The pair debuted with their single "Ven Pégate", which was featured on Naldo’s mixtape, Sangre Nueva (‘new blood’), in 2005.
From there, Castillo was signed to Zion's label, Baby Records, and immediately began to make music.
Castillo has appeared on numerous reggaetón compilation albums and collaborations, including the album Mas Flow: Los Benjamins.
In 2006, De la Ghetto officially began his solo career, appearing the following year on two hit singles, as well: a remixed version of "Siente el Boom" (‘feel the boom’) by Tito El Bambino, plus a collaboration with Randy called “Sensación del Bloque”, which has been viewed on YouTube over 200 million times, as of July 2023.
Masacre Musical was then released in 2008.
Masacre Musical peaked at #46 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the U.S.; its lead single, "Tú Te Imaginas" (‘you imagine’), peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart.
De la Ghetto was one, among a group, of early reggaetón artists who were debuting during the genre’s earlier days.
Additionally, he was one of the first singers to experiment musically at that time, fusing reggaetón rhythms and Spanish language lyrics with American-influenced trap, hip hop and R&B rhythms—thus forming a new sound, called Latin trap (or “trapetón”).
This genre saw success in Puerto Rico, and ultimately, beyond, leading the way for many of today's musicians in the 2010s-2020s.
The 2018 album Mi Movimiento (‘my moves’) was nominated in 2019 for a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Urban Music Album", and the track "Caliente" was also nominated for a Latin Grammy for "Best Urban song".
