Since he was a child, Babo wanted to spend all day out on the streets. On one occasion, a friend nicknamed "El Cancersillos" told him he knew some people who played music just "for the party." Later, he met Rowán Rabia and Enrique López Márquez, known as "El Quick Ass," who would go on to become members of the group Cártel de Santa. [citation needed] When they started doing live shows at La Deportiva del Estado, Babo realized he needed a rapper, and that’s when Dharius, also known as "Tirano-D" or "D-H-A," joined the group. Their first album came out in 2003 under the title Cártel de Santa. In addition to the track "Perros," songs like "Todas mueren por mí" and "La pelotona" also gained popularity. This album was followed by Vol. II, which included singles such as "Blah, blah, blah," "La llamada," among others.[3] In 2014, Babo released his sixth album titled Golpe avisa, featuring standout tracks like "Doctor Marihuana," "Los mensajes del WhatsApp," "Si te vienen a contar," and "Suena mamalona," achieving success mainly in Mexico. In 2016, the group released their seventh album, Viejo Marihuano, with hits such as "Leve," "Culón, culito," and "Soy quien soy," among others. The album entered the Billboard charts, reaching number 2 in the Latin Albums category.[4]
