Ignacio González Rodríguez, better knowed as Shotta, is a rapper from Sevilla, Spain. His brother is Toteking MC as well. Together, they released the demo XXL in 2000, as well as a maxi and the LP Tu Madre Es una Foca in 2002, which broke records for a hip-hop album in Spain. Shotta's first solo album, La Selva, appeared in 2004. By this time, he was already an established Spanish rap star, and could benefit from many high-profile guests and producers. His trademark style was characterized by strong language and acidic humor: he was notorious for his rants against the church and the police. However, by the time of his third album, 2011's Profundo, Shotta was showing signs of a newfound maturity and a heightened social conscience.
