About Eddy Puyol
The fiercely talented, unapologetically authentic Eddy Puyol (pronounced “pooh-yole”) infuses a passion for life, family, and faith into his innovative hip-hop tracks. Puyol grew up listening to iconic 70s and 80s greats like Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and more. At eleven years old, he first discovered his calling to make spiritual hip-hop, after visiting a church where praise was delivered through rap. Later working in the illegal pharmaceutical industry and going down a bad road, Eddy returned to the Lord in the early 2000s, earning a Christian hip-hop record deal in 2006. Since then, Puyol has achieved incredible success in creating uplifting, groovy earworms that resonate with audiences both in and out of the church. More recently, Puyol has been embracing a personal and musical renaissance, evolving his sound and style to match his renewed spirit and successes guided by God. Formerly known as Rawsrvnt, Eddy Puyol champions his principle of “keepin’ it real” by releasing songs from the heart that connect to multiple generations.
About “Like a Cadillac”
On “Like a Cadillac,” Eddy Puyol cleverly uses the image of this vehicle, a long-standing symbol of success and wealth in American culture, to highlight the blessings God has bestowed upon him. As outlined in the track, Puyol takes the Cadillac out for a spin of his own—infusing his positive energy and drive for genuineness into the song’s lyrics and sound. Sampling from his previously released “Flossin’ Him” single, Puyol refreshes its sun-shiny groove and bouncy melody while reinforcing the classic hip-hop feel. The poetry is also inspired by words that guide Puyol’s life outside of music—including Bible verses and personal catchphrases he often shares with family and friends. It further showcases the artist’s gratitude for the One who helped him bounce back from hardship and embrace a life of authentic joy. “This is the day that the Lord has made so Imma rejoice and be glad in it,” sings Puyol. “Every day above ground’s another day for me to say thank You.”
About “Bang Bang Baby”
“Bang Bang Baby” is a high-energy anthem of reflection and celebration, pulling the title phrase from Puyol’s previous career-reflecting track, “This One’s For You.” With the help of longtime collaborator Chuck Hemann, Puyol’s energetic rhymes and lively beats, including a subtle reference to the SportsCenter theme, incite the feeling of standing on a mountaintop looking down at the cleared obstacles below. Puyol exhibits his musical giftedness by rapping amusing, yet powerful, verses in double time. This triumphant reflection shows his sincere appreciation for building a career, passion, and family by following God’s word.
