After hinting that he too would dedicate a song to El Taiger, The Micha released the single "Jose" on YouTube just a few hours ago. "This is for you, my brother," he announced on his Instagram stories, revealing that the track was now available on various platforms. The song not only touches on the events surrounding El Taiger's shooting in Miami but also criticizes those who exploited the tragedy for social media attention.

In his lyrics, The Micha openly calls out those who initially criticized El Taiger but later pretended to mourn him. "First they criticized, then they lit candles—how convenient. Now flowers aren't needed, love the artist while alive, congratulate them. How fake you seem posting your little tributes," he raps, directly addressing certain YouTubers who spread "garbage with their mouths full of lies." The chorus of the song warns, "Trust killed danger, danger killed trust. Friends are no more; so be careful who you let into your home."

Within just 8 hours, the track had already amassed over 18,000 likes on YouTube. As El Micha's tribute song to El Taiger—whose funeral is scheduled for October 19 in Miami—sparked an outpouring of emotional reactions across social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram. Fans expressed both their grief and gratitude towards The Micha for his heartfelt homage: "The best song dedicated to Taiger, rest in peace, we miss him, he was the true legend," shared one user. Others commented on The Micha's genuine loyalty: "Great job Micha, without much noise and away from social media, he was one of the first to reach the hospital and now shows his true feelings."

Many fans have not held back in articulating the impact of the loss: "Heartbreaking Micha... the death of Jose hit us hard"; "I listened to the song with tears in my eyes. LBMA forever." Some also highlighted the authenticity of the tribute: "A beautiful song from one Giant to another, thank you brother, you're one of the good ones"; "They took the best from us, rest in peace the pride of my country." One user added, "You did well, brother, blessings, and let Cuba know, the legend lives on; he didn't die, he moved to another level."

Emotional Tributes and Genuine Friendship

Among the comments, many praised the authentic relationship between the two artists: "The best I've seen so far, great friends Micha and Taiger. Always Jose"; "Fly high, champion, you always put your family first and acknowledged the dangers of drugs." Some even suggested that the proceeds from the song should benefit El Taiger's loved ones: "Great song, hopefully, all the money raised goes to his grandmother and his girls." Finally, fans shared sentiments like: "Beautiful song, Taiger forever. Thank you, Micha, you truly know how to honor."

The music video, interspersing scenes of The Micha driving at night while performing the song with clips of cherished moments shared with El Taiger, concludes with a touching farewell and tribute: "Brother, wherever you are, we will always love and miss you. Your presence, your talent, and most importantly, your heart, will stay with us forever. You will never die because you made sure to remain alive in everyone's hearts. Thank you for everything you gave us, for the laughs, the music, and the moments. We'll see each other down the road, but until then you remain here, in every memory, in every song. We miss you, but we will never forget you. Rest in peace," reads the final message.
