For 26-year-old rapper, writer, and producer WHATUPRG, music is a reflection of his journey and identity. Born Raul Garcia in North Central Georgia, he is the son of Mexican immigrant parents. As a first-generation Mexican-American, his heritage and experiences deeply shape his artistry, offering a unique perspective in hip-hop.
RG’s love for music began at seven when he was introduced to Reggaeton. Inspired by artists like Funky and Manny Montes, he soon began creating original songs and performing around Gwinnett County, Georgia. Over time, his talent gained recognition, leading to his signing with Reach Records in 2015.
Since then, WHATUPRG has made waves in the music industry. His second EP, Raul, landed at #16 on Billboard’s Christian chart and #26 on the Rap chart. WHATUPRG has collaborated with Lecrae, BEAM, nobigdyl., and Hillsong Young & Free, among others. His songs Ambiente and Ni Aquí were featured in the Netflix film Blue Miracle, and his single God Made A Way gained traction on major Instagram platforms like @liljupiterr and @ourgenerationmusic.
WHATUPRG’s music blends Latin influences, storytelling, and faith, making him a rising star who continues to inspire and connect with audiences around the world.
