claims he loved rap since childhood and started writing and rapping when he was a teenager.
He made his professional debut as a rap artist in 2005 doing concerts all over the United States.
In 2006, Serio released his first album, “Nightmares Turned Into Reality”. His single, from that
album &quot;I Got To Have You&quot; gained rotation on radio stations throughout the United States. In
2008, Serio released the single, &quot;Serio Controla'' from his then upcoming second album,
“N.T.I.R. Part 2 The Revenge of Serio”, subsequently released in 2009. This time, his track, &quot;In
L.A.'' included a guest appearance by Kid Frost. In 2011, his third album, “Gansterism Part 3”,
was released featuring MC Magic on two tracks, &quot;Serio Come Back&quot; and &quot;I'll Never Forget&quot;.

documentary about his music career.
In 2012, Serio released another single &quot;Don't Hate Me Because I'm Mexican&quot; featuring Proper
Dos and Conejo. The song challenged the new SB 1070 law that was passed in the state of
Arizona, as well as anyone that might be bias towards Mexicans, since many politicians seem to
be tough on immigration. Serio's message in this song is that it is time for La Raza to stand up
and tell all people that we should be treated fairly and equal as anyone in the United States. On
February 13, 2013, Serio released his fourth album, Soy Chicano Rap. The album includes the
controversial song &quot;Don't Hate Me Because I'm Mexican&quot; which highlighted the hopes that
many had that the President and or Congress might come to an agreement on a fair immigration
reform bill. Also included on the album, the hit club song &quot;Sexy Ladies&quot;. The song has been
getting played in numerous clubs across the country already, and was leaked to DJs prior to the
album's release.
In the Summer of 2023 Serio released his first book ever entitled “The Cure To Recidivism” it is
a self-help book to help people succeed and stay out of trouble. It also can help anyone that
wants to become a better person who is aspiring to be the best version of themself. Serio
obviously wants to be taken seriously as an author as he released it before the release of his
initial book “The Truth About The Music Industry” as this new book is not even on the topic of
music at all. There is no scheduled release date for his next book but he assures everyone that he
will be releasing it as well. Serio is definitely a pioneer in Chicano Rap as he is the first Chicano
Rapper ever to release a book and became an Author as well. Opening an entire new market to
the Chicano Rap scene.
In a recent interview this year in 2024, Serio explained his absence from the music scene for a
while as he was battling Thyroid Cancer. He explained to everyone that he had to have surgery
and go through treatment and had to be cautious as surgeons warned him that the surgery could
affect his voice. The good news is that Serio said that he no longer has cancer and is 100% back
to normal and he is going on his first ever World Book Signing Tour this year and is also doing
concerts again as well. He also explained that he will be releasing a new single this year called
“Pull That Heat” and that soon he will be releasing a new album as well.
