“Yo no soy esclava de lo politicamente correcto”
“I’m not a politically-correct-slave”

Producto de una generaci�n harta de una supuesta “libertad de expresi�n” y ajena a la mordaz autocensura, La Mala Rodiguez es la punta de lanza de un movimiento urbano que lejos de quedarse en lo subterraneo, emerge como un monstruo poderoso que esta arrasando con la radio y la musica hip hop.

Enviando un mensaje corrosivo contra los golpeadores, abusadores y mentirosos, la Mala Rodriguez reivindica el movimiento rap con una propuesta mas honesta sobre temas y situaciones que se viven en su barrio. La lucha de clases, la indiferencia, el maltrato, la represi�n y la mujer como tema central son algunos de los t�picos que inspiran a la Mala. Razon por la que ha encontrado eco en muchos paises que independientemente de que sean temas cantados en espa�ol ha derribado froteras y se instala como una guerrera dispuesta a todo. Apasionada y hermosa, asi es La Mala.

Mar�a Rodr�guez, also known as La Mala, La Mala Mar�a, or Mala Rodr�guez, is a Spanish hip hop singer. She was born in Jerez de la Frontera,(C�diz), 13 February 1979. She moved to Seville when she was 4 and to Madrid when she was 19.

Her hip-hop songs are greatly influenced by flamenco music. Some of her lyrics talk about feminism and the problems of the outcasts of society.

She became well known in the Spanish hip-hop scene around 1998/1999 when she collaborated with other Sevilla groups like SFDK. However her style was a lot more rough and hardcore. Later on she crossed-over to the mainstream audience with her solo albums but she left behind most of the edge she had in her beginnings and her sound became more laid-back.

Her music has been featured of the soundtracks of the Spanish films, Luc�a y el Sexo (Sex and Luc�a), Yo Puta (her songs were used on the movie’s television adverts and trailers), the Mexican film, Y tu Mam� Tambi�n, and the French film, L’Auberge espagnole. She was also featured on the soundtrack for the EA Sports FIFA 2005 and Scarface: The World is Yours video games.

Most recently, her single “Por la noche” was featured in the Spanish film, “Yo Soy la Juani” (2007). She has also recorded “Mala Suerte con el 13″ (”Mala, Loose with -Residente, from Calle- 13) with the Puerto Rican rap duo Calle 13. Mala Rodriguez is releasing her third album through Machete Music.
