Featherweight’s growing popularity on the music scene also brought the common vocabulary from Sinaloa and other parts of the world words like ‘forge’which began to be used more and more because it appeared in the first line of the corrido lying down ‘PRC’.
Most likely the first thing you think is: “‘forge’ is a synonym for build”, commonly used in motivational or political speeches; others will say that it is the blacksmiths who forge metals to give it shape. And yes, they are both correct, but that is not what we are talking about today.

Now, let’s break down the first verse of the PRC Featherweight prone corrido for a quick workout.
Will it relate to any of these definitions?
“I get up, take a bath and then I start to forge, it’s poison, upside down, of very good quality. The phones never stop ringing, if it’s not some plebite, it’s because a client wants more.”
