PNO - A Story, A Culture, A Legacy.

PNO (Poncho), also known as Guajiro, is a Colombian rapper born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in the streets of Bogotá, Colombia. With over 17 years dedicated to his craft, PNO has built a legacy rooted in authenticity, lyrical depth, and an unwavering commitment to hip-hop culture.

His musical journey took shape in Bogotá, where he became one of the pioneering voices of the Colombian rap movement as a founding member of C.T.O. (Colombians Taking Over). His contributions helped lay the foundation for a generation of artists and left a lasting mark on Colombia’s underground hip-hop scene.

In 2000, after returning to New York and settling in Queens, PNO joined forces with Franco-Colombian MC Rocca to establish Tres Coronas, the legendary Latin hip-hop group that would go on to make an international impact. Blending raw lyricism, powerful storytelling, and the unmistakable energy of New York hip-hop, the group earned widespread recognition, received a Latin Grammy nomination, and toured internationally, helping bring Latin rap to a global audience.

As a member of Tres Coronas, PNO contributed to the group’s influential catalog, delivering hard-hitting tracks such as Falsedades, Envidias, and Ahora o Nunca. His music captures the realities of street life, personal struggles, loyalty, and resilience, reflecting the experiences of a generation shaped by the intersection of Colombian roots and New York street culture.

Beyond his work with Tres Coronas, PNO continues to evolve as a solo artist, expanding his creative vision while staying true to the underground spirit that defines his sound. Following the success of his acclaimed project Joyas del Underground and collaborations with internationally respected artists such as Sister Nancy and Lil Supa, he continues to push his artistic boundaries with First Gen Linx, a project that represents another chapter in his ongoing musical journey.

From the streets of Bogotá to the heart of Queens, PNO’s story embodies perseverance, cultural identity, and the enduring power of hip-hop. As an artist, pioneer, and independent voice in Latin rap, he remains committed to preserving the essence of the culture while inspiring new generations to embrace their roots, tell their stories, and create without compromise.

PNO is more than a rapper. He represents a movement shaped by two cities, one culture, and a lifetime dedicated to the art of hip-hop.
