Noztra

Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York, Martin Rivera, aka Noztra, got his first taste of fame when his low-budget release "Damelo Duro" made the mixtape rounds in 2004. That was enough to land him gigs opening for all the bigwigs, from Las Guanabanas to Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam, and to get the attention of new Latin urban label Machete Music. He released his debut full-length Ya' Ain't Ready/No Estan Listos in 2005.
