May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

One of Mancuso's main creative goals is to push boundaries, educate audiences, and address various social, racial, and political issues through his art.

"I'm covering racy topics and I'm playing with race and social stereotypes, and there are always sensibilities with those topics," he told Billboard, in reference to his "Crossing the Border" video, a thought-provoking satirical take on immigration along the United States-Mexico border. Noting that the United States' divisive sociopolitical climate had influenced this direction, Mancuso said, "When it comes to comedy, and music as well, if I'm not pushing some kind of limit, it's not a success." He added, "My responsibility as an educator is to create art out of everything, and some of those things are sad, some are true. ... I made sure to criticize everyone and satirize everything."

As Mancuso explained to DA MAN Magazine, "As someone with a very diverse background, I have a lot of inspiration when it comes to the subject of race and multi-ethnic characters. In my other works, though, I use music as a tool to tell stories."
