“The first ‘session’ back in 2018 wasn’t even planned,” he previously told Billboard. “All I wanted to do was record a local rapper and upload that to YouTube because I was a big fan of his and I wanted others to listen to him too. My plan was to record with my phone, but for some reason it didn’t work. So we scheduled the session for the following day and I thought, ‘Why not give these freestylers the production they deserve with microphones and everything?’ So that’s what I did.” Meanwhile, Anuel most recently dropped his new single, “Dictadura.” Produced by Subelo Neo and Machael, and co-written by Anuel and Mora, the head-bobbing reggaeton track will be included on the Puerto Rican artist’s third L...
