Kidd Voodoo shares his experience of being on the panel for Viña Del Mar, how he went from making rock music to reggaeton, why he chose Kidd Voodoo as his stage name, his feelings about Chilean music starting to spread, defining Chilean slang and more!
Leila Cobo:David, welcome to Billboard!
Kidd Voodoo:Thank you.
Well, for the people that don’t know, David is Kidd Voodoo. So here in Chile, you guys know him by his artistic name, Kidd Voodoo. He’s one of the biggest trap rappers in Chile at this moment, but his real name is David León. In other words, why Kidd Voodoo?
Because I needed to start releasing music and I wanted to give myself a name. In that moment in Chile, it was really trendy to put a prefix like it was in the United States, putting “Lil” or “Kid,” too. So I preferred to put “Kid” because there were a couple of artists that I really liked that had it and I needed to upload the song in that moment because I had already announced it.
So you didn’t have a lot of time to think about this?
No, I thought about it a lot, but I said, “If I never get this song out, I’m never going to start this.” So I said, “OK let’s go through with this,” and I looked at the pedals of the guitar and someone said, “Kidd Voodoo — it doesn’t sound too bad.”
So because of a guitar pedal that had nothing to do with rap, truthfully–
Exactly.
Well, it was a song about what? Was it rock, or was it rap?
Rap. It was a rap song, trap. Yep, and from there the name stuck and now I’m here.

With his latest album, At The Church Steps just a few weeks old, Jim Jones is going hard promoting his latest project with new videos and newer social media content, and while he’s found himself bumping heads with everyone under the sun these days, the man remains on his grind and continues to make music his priority.
Dropping off some new visuals to “Outside,” Jones finds himself alongside his fellow Dip Set brethren, Juelz Santana as they walked Gervonta Davis to the boxing ring for his match against Lamont Roach and afterwards linked up with the likes of Meek Mill, Fabolous and ultimately, Kanye West?! Can’t say we saw that coming. Still, it looks like everyone had a great time even though Davis took the “L.”
Elsewhere Westside Gunn is back on his grizzly and in the clip for “Boswell,” WG links up with Estee Nack and Stove God Cooks for a ride around the town before pulling over to kick their rhymes in the dead of night. Gunn out here stunting in 1-of-1 Avirex jackets and Evisu jeans. Respect.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Youngboy Never Broke Again, ElCamino, Ill Tone Beats and Black Soprano Family, and more.
