It’s clear that Valentín Oliva’s grounding in hip-hop began in rap battles in Buenos Aires. He’s carried the bite and aggression needed to succeed in them throughout his career. Key to his ascent under the stage name WOS has been his sheer force of personality—from confrontational, trap-driven debut single “PURPURA” to the woozy reflection of “ALMA DINAMITA”, his complex yet endearing nature shines through. Meanwhile, collaborations with Evlay and his brother Manu Oliva are a testament to his lofty reputation.
