Sara Socas Martín (born 30 August 1997) is a Canarian singer-songwriter and freestyle rapper.[1] [2] [3] In 2021, she became the first woman to be promoted as a freestyler to the Freestyle Master Series (FMS), considered the most important league in Spain in this field.[4] [5] [6]

Career

Socas studied a double degree in Journalism and Audiovisual Communication at the Charles III University of Madrid.[3] [6] She entered the world of freestyle rap in 2017 and also plays several musical instruments, such as the guitar, piano and bass.[2] [7] She is a contributor to the radio programme on Cadena SER along with rapper Arkano, as well as an editor at Los 40, among others.[8] Socas has also given rap workshops in several high schools in the Community of Madrid, aimed at teenagers at risk of social exclusion.[9]

Socas won the second edition of the Madrid Girl Battle held in 2017, where she beat rapper Rasvy in the final.[9] [10] She also reached the quarterfinals of the DH17 Battle and the Pre-National Battle de Royal Rap. The following year, in 2018, she won the Femme Battle 2018, a women's battle-rap tournament, and the Batalla de Azuqueca 2018.[9] That year she also reached the quarterfinals of the Madrid Urban Festival.[2] In 2019, she was one of only two women to participate in the Red Bull "", alongside fellow rapper Erika Dos Santos.[11] [12] Socas got through to the competition's semi-finals.[9] In December 2019, she was the only woman to participate in the "Batallas de Gallos" at the Otumba exhibition in Mexico City, held by the freestyle organisation Beatle League.[13] Her feminist retort in the battle against Rapder at that event made her a trending topic on Twitter and brought her to the attention of the general public. In 2020, she was chosen to go as a reserve to the Red Bull International Final of that year's Batalla de Gallos.[8]

In 2019, she released her songs Ahora me quiero más and Sugarina with Vlack Motor, as well as the track Vuelve with singer-songwriter Fran Mariscal.[14] [15] [16] Socas has been included in the line-up of the 2020.[17] At the end of 2020, she released the single Bambi and in 2021 she released the track Apareciste tú on social media platforms.[6] [18]

In January 2021, Socas became the winner of the Gold Battle Barcelona regional.[19] In January 2021, Socas participated in the Spanish National Freestyle League (FMS), becoming the first woman to compete in an FMS.[20] [18] A year earlier, she had turned down the FMS organisation's invitation to join the national league, as she wanted to gain access by competing, a milestone she finally achieved in April 2021.[21] [22] That year, Socas became the Federation Cup champion at the National Final of the Batalla de Maestros in Spain, and went straight through to the FMS final.[4] [21] She was the first woman to do so.[4] [6] As such, she was one of twelve rappers who would participate in the FMS the following season.[5] [6]

In 2023, she quit freestyle after receiving hate and sexist attacks on social networks for being a woman and a lesbian.[23] [24] That same year, she presented her first album TFN-MAD, with rap, trap, bachata and rhythm and blues influences, produced by Acción Sánchez of SFDK.[23]
