    The rapper Jakpot expresses his feelings through rap music.  Every person has a dream while migrating to a foreign country.  His family migrated from Peru with the American dream in their minds. However their American dream have turned in to horror as he expresses in his music. He and his family have faced lots of challenges and troubles, they have witnessed unfair treatments towards immigrants through out their lives.
Rap music is used as an expression of  minorities and oppressed people's feelings. 
                                                            
 "Judge me from within not the color of my skin
 nor the way my eyes slant

 never mind the accent
 judge me by my actions

 the son of immigrants
 who escaped pover

 and haven't looked back since "

Here we are listening the scream of an immigrant who focuses on the discrimination towards immigrants and asks for equality. He expresses his discontent with Spanish and English lyrics in his music.
