Anthony Khalil Mercado Díaz, better known to his public as "Ankhal", was born in Puerto Rico in the year 2000. At only 19 years old, the Puerto Rican has managed to become an icon for young people to the rhythm of freestyle.
A baseball player by birth and a rapper for life, the Puerto Rican denied a university scholarship in the United States as an athlete to fulfill his dream and become a singer. Although he always had an interest in music and art, Ankhal began writing his verses at the age of 17 inspired by Kevin Gates.
Ankhal became known professionally on the stages of FreeStyle Mania in Puerto Rico. Soon after, Ankhal released his first single, “Antijudas”, which has over 300,000 organic SoundCloud plays. His passion for music and rap caught the attention of the music industry and thousands of fans.
In September 2019, the Carbon Fiber Music record label shows interest in the now artist; completing your signature successfully. Thus launching his first single with Farruko "CFM Ganga Remix", which surpassed two million YouTube views in just 48 hours.
It is certainly the beginning of a new era. A freestyle giant teams up with one of the strongest pillars of urban music to make history in the genre.
