Los Angeles, CA (May 26th, 2023) – 17-year-old Dominican rap phenom J Noa, releases debut EP Autodidacta today via Sony Music CAC.

Track by Track of Autodidacta by J Noa
1. “Autodidacta”
“This song is the first chapter of my career as a professional artist and it conveys strength, maturity and intelligence. It represents the vision I had when I started working with Sony.”
2. “Betty”
“I have witnessed all these situations that I condemn in my own neighborhood. My greatest desire is that anyone who finds themselves in any of these situations listens to my song and manages to get away from everything that doesn’t serve them.”
3. “Una Carta”
“This song is sentimental because I wrote it at school while my classmates were sharing their stories. I wanted to showcase my different styles of creating and share the experience of the streets in the Dominican Republic.”
4. “Paranoia”
“In this song I overdose on flow which I felt was only right and very necessary for my fans to hear. To let them know that yes I am rap.”
5. “No Me Pueden Parar”
“A message of hope for everyone who thinks they can’t accomplish their dreams and feels they’re limited when the only limit that exists is the sky.”
6. “La Niña”
“A very personal song that represents things that go beyond our professional lives. My goal is for parents to pay more attention to their children and not only to take care of their financial needs but also their emotional and mental needs.”
7.“Qué Fué”
“A song that I made specifically so the Dominican society sees what is not good for us as a country. Through this song I seek to expose situations that do not favor the healthy growth of our children and youth. I was inspired by the daily life of the neighborhoods closest to me, by the injustices of the authorities and by the crime that plague the entire Dominican territory.”
