“It’s completely different from YHLQMDLG. This is a more sentimental album, more chill, the kind of thing you can listen to in your room,” Bad Bunny tells Billboard. Here’s everything important you need to know about the 16-track El Último Tour Del Mundo, in his own words. First and foremost, “Dákiti,” your No. 1 global song. Tell us more.

After smashing heads and breaking bottles, the duo gallop up on the Kids and Ty dispatches...
