William Figuerero is a Cuban rapper and the cultural promoter in charge of hip hop for the Asociacion Hermanos Saiz, an institution which promotes hip hop. Figuerero prefers critical underground rap and is interested in artists that incorporate an educational message in hip hop including elements of love and peaces without abandoning hip hop's rebellious roots. Figuerero has been influential in the promotion of new Cuban hip hop artists such as Explosion Suprema, Los Paisanos, Hermanos de Causa and Los Aldeanos. As a promoter, has persuaded directors of radio shows to announce forthcoming concerts, to play a song, or even interview a group. Figuerero's artists are selected for their developed elements of breakdance, graffiti and spoken word.
