Meet Lil June, the Afro Latino visionary behind Afropunta — a bold new genre that fuses Afrobeat, Punta, Garifuna spirituality, and NYC swagger. Born in Brooklyn to Honduran parents, Lil June brings ancestral drums to modern clubs, celebrating life, honoring death, and repping culture with fire beats.
In this exclusive Blacktinidad interview, he breaks down how he built Afropunta from scratch, why it hits different, and what it means to innovate Latino music from the ground up. Whether you’re into reggaeton, Afrobeats, or just want to move your body — this is your next favorite artist.
Blacktinidad is a LatiNation original series focused on Afro-Latino identity, culture, and conversations that live at the intersection of community, honesty, and humor.
