BIOGRAPHY
Identity
Puerto Rican urban artist Johnny Stone performed under the nickname El Pacman. His own YouTube biography traces him to Isabela, Puerto Rico — "born and raised" there — and credits him as founder of Bad Seed Family, naming him Luis Antonio Perez Aviles; his Spotify profile shortens that to Luis Antonio Perez.
That biography frames his place in the genre around direct, clear street lyrics, and around a reputation for writing fast: he could reportedly put a track together in minutes, leaning on his skill for improvising.
His Work, According To His Official Biography
It also claims more than a decade in the business, pointing to tracks such as Dice, Solos Contra El Mundo, Pa Cuando, and Carta a Lele, and it references battle-rap appearances without naming events or opponents. What the channel's own public record shows is narrower but verifiable: uploads running from 2013 through 2019, including several freestyles posted in that final year.
