Ever stumbled upon a concert that made you question if you were, in fact, witnessing a modern-day miracle? That magic is precisely what drives Gabriel Bras Nevares, a talented staff writer for HotNewHipHop, who deftly combines his love for reggaetón and hip-hop to explore the music landscape with a unique perspective. Born and raised in the vibrant city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel dived into the world of journalism while pursuing his B.A. at The George Washington University, where he clearly wasn’t just learning the ropes but forging a path to engage with musical narratives that often go unnoticed.

His insightful commentaries on topics as provocative as the “death” of hip-hop in 2023 or the lyrical chess match between Kendrick Lamar and Drake offer readers a fresh take on conversations we didn’t even know we needed to have. Add to that his infectious enthusiasm for concerts — spanning epic festivals like Rolling Loud Miami to the intriguing dynamics of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case — and you’ve got a storyteller who captures the pulse of a generation. What’s better than reading music reviews that not only entertain but also provoke thought? So, if you’re curious about the latest in the industry or just looking to get swept up in the beats of your favorite artists, you’re in for a treat with Gabriel’s lens on the vibrant intersection of culture and sound.

About The Author

Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case.

Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
