The rap singer Valtònyc (wearing dark green in the first photo) has returned from exile. It's the first time he steps in his homeland Mallorca in almost 6 years.

He was sentenced to 3.5 years of prison because when he was 18 years old he wrote a song where he criticized the Spanish monarchy and uploaded it to YouTube. He wasn't famous and his most listened song on YouTube had 8,000 views, but in Spain it's a crime to say "injuries against the crown", and the laws are often applied more harshly against national minorities (Valtònyc is from the Catalan Countries). His song was found and he had to go to trial over it, and was sentenced guilty of the crimes of injuries against the monarchy, praising terrorism, and threats.

Valtònyc refused to accept the so-called "justice" of the Spanish judicial system, so he decided to escape. He managed to sneak to France unnoticed by the police, and went to Belgium, where there was already a community of Catalan people on exile for their political involvement in the Catalan independence process. He has lived on exile in Belgium these last 5 years and a half.

Had he come back to any Spanish territory, Valtònyc (same as the other exiles) would have immediately been jailed. In fact, Spain issued an international order of extradition, demanding Belgium arrest him and send him to Spain to be imprisoned. But the Belgian courts found that these kind of cases should be allowed under freedom of speech and, instead of sending Valtònyc to Spain, Belgium got rid of their own law that punished "injuries against the crown" as a crime. With no Belgian law to punish him, he was allowed to stay in Belgium. This is a similar process that had happened with other Catalan exiles, who Spain has demanded be extradited multiple times but Belgian law has protected for human rights and freedom of speech reasons.

By the way, the song that got him sentenced to prison had been a commission from the Spanish politician Pablo Iglesias (leader of Podemos, the left Spanish party) for his TV show La Tuerka. Valtònyc has explained that Iglesias never called him, never showed any solidarity nor interest in his case. Iglesias was vice-president of Spain during Valtònyc's exile.

The crimes expired six months ago, meaning he can no longer be imprisoned for it. However, the Spanish courts did not notify him of it (as they should have done), so his lawyer and him just found out.

After saying goodbye to other Catalan people on exile in Belgium, who are not allowed to come back yet (in the photos, shared by Valtònyc on his Twitter, he is saying goodbye to the politicians Lluís Puig and Carles Puigdemont), he has come back home.

He was welcomed by 200 people in his hometown. He has thanked all the people who helped him and showed solidarity. He also reminded that Pablo Hasél (a rap singer from Catalonia) is still in prison for the lyrics of his songs and the contents of his Tweets, sentenced guilty of injuries against the crown and praising terrorism. You can read more about Pablo Hasél's arrest in this post, and an explanation of the tweets and lyrics that got him sentenced in this post.

As we celebrate Valtònyc's return, we cannot forget that Spain has repeatedly ranked number 1 in the whole world for country that sent the most musicians to jail for the content of their music, in 2018 and 2020. By the way all the 14 rap singers condemned to prison for their lyrics were Catalan (Pablo Hasél and the 12 members of the band La Insurgencia from Catalonia, and Valtònyc from the Balearic islands), not one of any other culture group or from any other area. Curious, 100% of the sentenced, when the population of the Catalan Countries is less than 29% of the population of Spain. Wonder why!

i have to say i love how unpredictable life is because one year ago I could not have imagined losing my mind over some finnish rapper of all people, and one week ago never in my wildest dreams would I have dreamed said finnish rapper collabing with an estonian rapper and doing it in the absolute gayest way possible

#käärijä #my mind is still spinning with how quickly i went from “who the hell is tommy” #to the point of insanity and losing my mind i'm currently at #and prior to käärijä i have always absolutely hated finnish rap music

Getting into a multimedia music project where the years worth of information and translations are scattered/have been moved/deleted is like. The digital nerd weeb version of archeology. And if you then decide to observe the fandom too, it becomes anthropology.

#im currently getting an irl into anime boys rapping (but the lore)

[precatio]

need to get into new music IMMEDIATELY does anyone have any recommendations. any genre is fine but preferably something outside what we have historically listened to mainly (heavy metal, metalcore, pop punk)

#unheard prayers #pleeeease give me any and all recs you guys have #not that what i listen to currently is bad or anything #i've been listening to a lot of r&b hiphop and rap lately and it feels good to like. connect with my culture in a way that is especially — #— meaningful to me and the best way i know how after we have been alienated from it our whole life #just getting kinda tired of like. what we usually listen to. like the metal and pop punk shit that was more valentine's thing #wanna broaden our horizons. wanna get into something new that feels good

OOOOOOOOOOH I have just the thing! 😈 (Excuse the rough draftyness of the first part)

Raps: "All I'm trying to do is help-"

Hector: "The only person you've been helping is yourself! You can't seriously expect me to trust you after ALL the shit you've stirred up!"

Raps: "What have I ever done to you?!"

Hector: (stands up sharply, knocking his chair over) "YOU DESTROYED MY CHILDHOOD HOME! You invaded the ruins of my kingdom and desecrated the resting place of the Moonstone! You and your 'bodyguard-in-waiting' both tried to kill me and failed!"

Raps: "Cass was doing her job and protecting me, just like you were doing your job by protecting the Moonstone. I had to get to the stone one way or another; I have the power of the Sundrop. I'm the only one who can neutralize it and save the world."

Hector: "You keep saying that, but I haven't actually seen you do either of the things the Sundrop is fabled to do. I have seen people enchant their hair. I have seen scumbags pull off elaborate scams for money, or royal favors, or to trick innocent people into getting enslaved by a cult!"

Adira: "Hector, please stop yelling."

Hector: (slams palms on the table and lowers his head to sneer in Raps's face) "I am not naive like my sister. I knew someone would take her for a ride one of these days and try to get their grubby little hands on the Moonstone. You're not the first person to get ahold of the Decay Incantation; you're just the first one to not destroy yourself with it. I don't know who or what you are, but I don't fuck with that kinda' nonsense."

It took every ounce of Cassandra's self-control not to show outward approval of Hector's arguments, and she hated herself for it. It was both satisfying and confusing to hear all of her suspicions about Adira being applied to Rapunzel, but she couldn't fault the man's logic. It was exactly what she'd been telling her friends since they left Corona.

She watched Rapunzel blink owlishly up at the large man, curious to see how she'd try to avoid accountability for her actions.

"I...I'm sorry, about what happened to the tree," she finally said in a meek, unsure voice. "I didn't mean to destroy it. I just wanted to save Eugene." Hector gave a harsh scoff and pushed himself up off the table.

"And it didn't occur to you that by killing the tree, you'd also be jeopardizing all your friends it was holding onto?" he demanded.

"Weren't you possessed by the tree's heart or something too?" Cassandra inquired as noncommitally as she could, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh like she's gonna care about how much danger she put me in," Hector snapped sarcastically, eyes briefly flicking over to glare at her.

[heavenpierceher]

why do people equivocate hating rap and hating country like they're at all derived from the same motivations

#op #fucking love rap. agree dismissing all rap out of hand is disingenuous at best and usually just flat out racist #but ive been inundated with too much post-9/11 mainstream country to enjoy the genre much anymore without other genre fusions like lil nas #im just sick to bastard death of the mainstream/current sound from childhood zac brown band poisoning LMAO #i like folk and bluegrass even! especially the older stuff #acting like dismissing country is like Inherently Classist as much so as dismissing rap is racist just strikes me as odd #when people think 'country' they think modern pop country. it's incredibly distanced from the origins #idk im struggling to articulate today. #<- just looked over a bunch of bluegrass/folk/country music readings to make sure i wasnt completely talking out of my ass

i cannot stand those quirky overly-friendly-to-the-point-of-crossing-boundaries teachers and professors who make you do icebreakers or fun facts about yourself at the beginning of the semester bc their questions are always the exact sort of stuff that you never wanna answer. but they just keep asking bc they think you’re just being shy and cute. ‘what are your hobbies? what kind of music do you like? what’s a topic very personal and important to you?’ MAN i am not subjecting myself to public humiliation like that for being very far removed from the norm nor am i opening up about my deep-seated personal problems. i don’t know you i don’t respect you you are not entitled to anything outside of my graded work. i’m just trying to prevent everybody in the room including you and i from becoming incredibly uncomfortable. just take the hint when i deflect your questions and pretend to be boring

#my sociology professor was asking us all for our current favorite song to add to the class playlist that he plays a bit from every morning #even if i had a single favorite song i wouldn’t tell him #even if he wasn’t gonna play it in front of others i wouldn’t tell him #he was like ‘ahhh what a diverse and fascinating sample of different genres we’ve collected here from your responses!’ #three taylor swift songs. some respectable rock and rap stuff. basically it #i am not about to submit my japanese robots singing about the most unhinged and frightening topics known to man #some of us actually got bullied as children and learned to never be honest ever again especially not when we don’t have friends with us #i could explain to him why i like the things i like #but i’m not about to be that vulnerable?? hello???? i already know he wouldn’t understand or care even if he didn’t say anything mean #ok hot take but i actually kinda don’t like the discourse surrounding infodumping #like ‘it’s ok to just talk at me about the things you like! :)’ ok but if i don’t have clear confirmation that you like it too #then it feels like you’re just listening to me out of pity #you could be as nice as possible but if you don’t ask followup questions or express any sort of favorite part or interesting detail #i will feel awful and be like ok never doing that again #maybe that’s just my personal flavor of mental illness #i never got like. told to shut up or anything when talking #but i did get the awkward silence or ‘light-hearted’ mockery #so i figured shutting myself up was for the best #peach rambles
