The Calle 13 alum, who kicked off a multi-city tour this month, discusses pandemic songwriting, collaborating with Ivy Queen and advocating for Puerto Rico
iLe is well known to fans of Calle 13, the alternative rap outfit founded by her brothers Residente and Visitante . She was just a teenager when she began performing with the duo — earning her the nickname PG-13 — but in the years following Calle 13’s hiatus, the singer has forged her own path in the music industry.

As the album took shape, calling it “Nacarile” became a serious consideration. The 11-track project, released last fall, embraced the chaos — threading the uncertainty iLe felt into each song.
