Regional Mexican Gets a Remix Thanks to MorenoX4
In his early twenties, Jesus Moreno, also known as Moreno X, is quickly becoming one of the most distinctive voices in regional Mexican music. As the founder and frontman of Grupo Diez 4Tro, this Sacramento-based artist is not just reshaping corridos for a new generation, but he’s also leading the way in creating a fresh subgenre: Drilla Corridos.
Born and raised in Sacramento, California, Moreno discovered his passion for music at an early age. That passion transformed into a mission in 2020 when he teamed up with Pablito, Nabs, and Emmanuel. What began as casual jam sessions soon showcased their shared ambition and undeniable chemistry. The group decided to officially form Grupo Diez 4Tro, merging the regional sounds they loved with modern trap and drill influences.

Their breakout moment came in 2021 with the viral success of “En El Refuego,” a track that blew up on social media. The song catapulted Grupo Diez 4Tro beyond Sacramento and into the hearts of fans across the U.S., Mexico, and even parts of South America. It positioned the group as pioneers of the Drilla Corridos sound, blending the storytelling essence of traditional corridos with the sharp beat of trap.
From the start, Moreno and his group embraced a raw, aggressive tone in their lyrics, channeling street realities and youthful energy. But as their audience grew, especially among younger listeners, they started to change gears. Recognizing their influence, Moreno steered the group toward more uplifting themes without losing any intensity in their sound. Their most recent album, “Consejos de la Vida,” reflects this shift. Centered around messages of resilience, self-belief, and personal growth, the album aims to motivate and inspire.
Rather than glorifying violence, the lyrics strived to connect with the everyday struggles and achievements of listeners. The group intentionally worked on spreading positive messages, especially to their primary audience: teenagers and young adults. Moreno views this generation as the ones who will shape the future and believes it’s their duty to set an example. The group drew from current events, personal experiences, and the world around them to create songs that range from motivational anthems to romantic ballads.

With hits like “El Criticado,” “Los Hermanos,” “24 Horas,” and “Cargo Una 40” already under their belt, and a growing international fanbase, Moreno is on track to become one of the most influential young acts in the genre. And at the center of it all is just a young artist, a visionary with passion, drive, and a deep love for his craft.
From garage jam sessions in Sacramento to viral fame and a recording deal with Virgin Music, Moreno is proving that corridos are evolving. And he’s leading the charge.

Now stepping into a new chapter, Moreno is embarking on a solo career under the name MorenoX4, an evolution of his artistic identity and a return to his roots as a singer-songwriter. Still based in Sacramento, the MorenoX4 project builds on the musical foundation he helped establish, while carving out a more personal and expansive creative space. His sound remains rooted in Drilla Corridos, a genre he helped pioneer, but now reflects a sharper focus on individual expression and sonic experimentation.
With a growing fan base behind him, MorenoX4 is quickly gaining recognition as a solo artist. His discography keeps growing with tracks that push genre boundaries and showcase his knack for storytelling, melody, and cultural fusion. As MorenoX4, he’s forging a new path, one marked by independence, ambition, and a fearless dedication to artistic evolution.
