Eladio Carrión Morales (born November 14, 1994) is an American rapper and songwriter of Latin trap and reggaeton. In 2023, he won the Latin Grammy for Best Rap/Hip Hop Song for "Me Gustas Natural".

Eladio Carrión Morales was born on November 14, 1994, in Kansas City, Kansas, into a Puerto Rican family. As his father was in the U.S. military, they frequently moved from state to state. By the time he was a teenager, Carrión had lived in Hawaii, Baltimore (Maryland) and the state of New York, as well as Alaska. At age 11, his family relocated back to Humacao, Puerto Rico. In his youth, he showed athletic promise, notably excelling in swimming, going on to represent Puerto Rico at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games. Carrión also represented his country at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, México, where he would reach the preliminary phase of the 200-meter breaststroke, finishing in eighth position overall.

Shortly after 2012 began, Carrión abandoned swimming to begin his artistic career as an influencer through digital platforms (such as Vine and Instagram), in which he uploaded comedic videos to gain followers.
