Cypress Hill's Sen Dog: From Cuban Refugee to Hip-Hop Icon
For this episode of De Los Podcast, hosts Fidel Martínez and Suzy Exposito sit down with Sen Dog, founding member and rapper of Cypress Hill — one of the first Latino hip-hop groups to break into the American mainstream. Born in Pinar del Río, Cuba, Sen Dog came to the U.S. as a refugee with his family, eventually settling in South Gate, Los Angeles — the very neighborhood that would give Cypress Hill its name. In this conversation, he traces the full arc: from watching Soul Train on Saturday mornings and meeting a teenage Dave Lombardo of Slayer in high school, to touring the country in a tiny Astro van before "I Could Just Kill a Man" hit number one in New York overnight. He opens up about what it meant to be a Black Latino in a hip-hop scene that had no category for them, the band's legendary Simpsons cameo, and their genre-defying collaborations with Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, and Biohazard — including his own metal project, Power Flow. Sen Dog also shares why he returned to Cuba for the first time in decades, what it felt like to step onto his grandmother's porch again, and how that trip led him to discover that his family's last name — Reyes — traces back to an ancestor sold into slavery in Cuba from Benin in the early 1800s. All of it is part of his upcoming documentary, Mi Familia, a migration story that goes from the slave ships to South Gate, Los Angeles. Plus: why he says "I'm a refugee and I say that proudly" in today's political climate, the story of picking up Celia Cruz at the airport, and why all he needed to become a rapper was a pen and a piece of paper.

Leslie Grace Gets Real About Batgirl, Bachata & Being Dominican-American
Fidel Martínez and Suzy Exposito sit down with Dominican-American singer, actress, and Latin Grammy-nominated artist Leslie Grace for a wide-ranging conversation about music, movies, and what it means to be Latino in Hollywood today. Leslie traces her journey from recording a Christian album in her family's closet at 14, to breaking out as a bachata star alongside Romeo Santos and Prince Royce, to landing her film debut as Nina in Lin-Manuel Miranda's In the Heights — a role she spent seven years of self-tapes working toward. She opens up about Batgirl, the HBO Max film she starred in that was shelved by Warner Bros. before release, and how that experience pushed her toward indie filmmaking — including Sundance Prize winner In the Summers, and two SXSW premieres: Stages and Campeón Gabacho, directed by Jonas Cuarón. Plus: what it's like to be a female artist in a male-dominated genre, the hardest thing to learn about the music industry in the streaming era, and her take on Latinidad — and what it looks like to just exist without having to prove it.
