Anthony Rodriguez Elizondo, better known as Arez, is a Costa Rican rapper who built his profile through independent singles and local collaborations before breaking out in 2025 with “Yo sé,” a reflective urbano/rap cut featuring Isaac Blackee and produced by Jeremiah and Jeazy Kay (with Dímelo Wini on the beat). He worked steadily through 2023 and 2024, circulating early tracks on streaming and YouTube to define a style rooted in conversational storytelling, crisp dembow and trap percussion, and melodic hooks. In mid-2024, he appeared on the posse track “Los Patrones” alongside Abraham Thiago and Choliare, positioning himself within Costa Rica’s cross-border rap network and drawing attention from playlist curators. That same year he issued “Que Te Vaya Bien” with Decko 506, signaling a move toward sharper, radio-ready refrains while keeping verses grounded in everyday themes. Earlier drops that helped set his tone included “Discreto,” the team-up “Lo Que Se Ve No Se Pregunta” with Caleb Rs, and “Solo la Paso Bien” with Yaadid Borja, releases that kept his name in rotation and set the stage for a bigger push. The 2025 single “Yo sé,” rolled out with an official video and single artwork in early October, consolidated these threads—clean production, introspective lyrics, and collaborative chemistry—quickly becoming his signature track.
