\"Redimi2\"<\/p>\n

1. Complete biography<\/h2>\n

From Santo Domingo to the microphone (1999)<\/h3>\n

Redimi2 is the stage name of Willy Gonz\u00e1lez Cruz<\/strong>, a Dominican Christian music rapper born on June 3, 1979, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As a child he showed talent for the arts \u2014drawing, painting and theater\u2014 and as a teenager he found in rap his means of expression. In mid-1999, together with his brother J.G. (Dom\u00ednico Gonz\u00e1lez) and his friend Chiky, he formed the group Redimi2 Squad<\/strong>. That same year, after a life marked by drugs, he gave his life to Jesus Christ and decided to use his testimony as a message of hope and transformation. His mission was summed up in the movement MC1615<\/strong>, based on Mark 16:15 (\u00abGo into all the world and preach the gospel\u00bb<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

His country’s first Christian rap album (2000)<\/h3>\n

In 2000 he released Combinaci\u00f3n mortal<\/strong>, the first Christian rap album published in the Dominican Republic, which sold more than 50,000 copies and won the AMCL award for Urban Album of the Year in 2001. Lilly Goodman and Juan Carlos Rodr\u00edguez, lead singer of Tercer Cielo, took part in that album. The artist’s own page on M\u00fasica Cristiana clarifies that Combinaci\u00f3n mortal<\/strong> belongs to the Redimi2 Squad era, not to a solo debut.<\/p>\n

Hasta los dientes and Revoluci\u00f3n (2004-2006)<\/h3>\n

As a solo artist he released Hasta los dientes<\/strong> (2004), with collaborations from the Dominican group 3C and songs such as \u00ab5 micr\u00f3fonos\u00bb<\/strong> (with Ariel Kelly and 3C), \u00abQu\u00e9 me viste\u00bb<\/strong> and \u00abD\u00e9jame nacer\u00bb<\/strong>. In 2006 he released Revoluci\u00f3n<\/strong>, his third production, with the anthem \u00abYo no canto basura\u00bb<\/strong>, a direct criticism of secular urban music for \u00abcorrupting young people\u00bb<\/strong>, which became his personal hallmark for years. That same year he took part in the collaborative album Linaje escogido<\/strong> and brought together other Christian singers in El equipo invencible<\/strong> (2007), a various-artists production presented by him.<\/p>\n

Vivo, Phenomenon Edition and the Exterminador trilogy (2008-2014)<\/h3>\n

In December 2007 he gave a concert in his country from which his first live production came out, Vivo: El concierto<\/strong> (2008), with his greatest hits, 6 unreleased songs and his first DVD. In 2009 he released Phenomenon Edition<\/strong>, with \u00abYo ser\u00e9 tu sol\u00bb<\/strong> (with Tercer Cielo) and \u00abVolv\u00ed a enamorarme\u00bb<\/strong> (with his wife Daliza, inspired by his daughter Samantha Kate). In 2010 he released his first mixtape, Rap Redimi2: Las cosas que nunca dije<\/strong>. Between 2011 and 2014 he developed the Exterminador<\/strong> trilogy: Operaci\u00f3n P.R.<\/strong> (2011, dedicated to Puerto Rico), OPR 100X35<\/strong> and Operaci\u00f3n R.D.<\/strong> (2012, dedicated to the Dominican Republic) and Operaci\u00f3n Mundial<\/strong> (2014), which reached #3 on Billboard’s Latin Albums chart and contains \u00abEl nombre de Jes\u00fas\u00bb<\/strong> (with Christine D’Clario), one of the most-watched Christian rap videos in history.<\/p>\n

Pura Sal, Trapstornadores and La Resistencia (2017-2019)<\/h3>\n

In 2017 he released Pura Sal<\/strong>, a worship and celebration album with Evan Craft, Christine D’Clario, Julio Melgar, Miel San Marcos, Marcos Brunet, Funky and Alex Zurdo, among others. In 2018 came Trapstornadores<\/strong>, with the single \u00abTrapstorno\u00bb<\/strong>, which sparked a wave of video reactions for its mention of Bad Bunny and its criticism of secular trap content. In 2019 he presented \u00abLa praxis Freestyle\u00bb<\/strong>, which went viral as a challenge, and organized the La Resistencia<\/strong> events in Puerto Rico (sold out at the Coliseo Jos\u00e9 Miguel Agrelot), Argentina, Colombia and Mexico.<\/p>\n

20\/20, UNO and Momentum (2020-2021)<\/h3>\n

The English version of this last song, \u00abBe Alright\u00bb<\/strong> (with Evan Craft and Danny Gokey), debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart, his first entry on the Billboard charts in the United States. In February 2021 he released UNO<\/strong>, a collaborative project with Alex Zurdo and Funky, and in October of that year Momentum<\/strong>, with \u00abBacha Drill\u00bb<\/strong> (with Madiel Lara) and \u00abT\u00fa conmigo est\u00e1s\u00bb<\/strong> (with Abby Valdez).<\/p>\n

Rompiendo, Maverick, Base y fundamento, \u00c9pico and Ox\u00edgeno (2022-2026)<\/h3>\n

With Maverick<\/strong> he received his first Latin Grammy<\/strong> nomination, in the Best Christian Album in Spanish category. In 2024 he released Base y fundamento<\/strong>, again with many contemporary Christian music artists (Evan Craft, Miel San Marcos, Averly Morillo, Sarai Rivera and his group Distrito Royal), from which the single \u00abDel Salmo 23\u00bb<\/strong> came.
