The remix comes on the heels of Messiah publicly apologizing to Ozuna on Nicky Jam’s The Rockstar Show, where he admitted that as one of the pioneers of Latin trap, he did not want to collaborate with Ozuna in the past, causing a feud between both artists. “I thought nobody did trap like I did, that I was untouchable and that I was the best,” he said. “A lot of doors closed because of that mentality. In fact, they thought I was a hater. Everyone knows what I’ve done for trap music but trap didn’t do anything for me.” Produced by Nicky Jam, Messiah’s mentor and inspiration, “Millonario (Remix)” hits home for the artist, who said he was financially struggling for the past two years and went from having an ocean-view apartment to crashing his sister’s couch. “And no matter how much money I ha...

“As a synesthete myself (chromesthesia & original linguistic personification), I’ve always been obsessed with the relationship between music and visuals,” Mancuso said in a statement. “Although at times debilitating, I’ve found that this condition has enhanced my abilities as a creative and is ultimately what inspired this experiment. We’ve seen art pieces created to sound or inspired by music. What we haven’t seen much of is art that’s actually being created by the music. For the first time done in this way, we’ll see what the music actually looks like. The music is the artist.” The four-piece NFT series is now available here. To get a better understanding of how the performance art was actually created, watch the video below. Juanes album + documentary Ju...

Justin Quiles reeled in Dominican artist Chimbala and reggaeton duo Zion y Lennox for his new single, “Loco,” a track that was completely born in DR. Giving life to those Caribbean flares, “Loco” fuses Soca with Afrobeats, making it a refreshing, tropical song that can easily become a summer anthem. “You know I’m dying for you/ and that you’re dying for me/ there’s nothing else to say,” goes part of the flirtatious chorus. “Loco” is part of Quiles’ upcoming studio album La Ultima Promesa, including collaborations with Rauw Alejandro, Sech, Mariah Angeliq, and more. “As you can hear in ‘Loco,’ this album will be complete and different,” he tells Billboard. “Even if they’re all reggaeton, I promise it will be something else.” — JESSICA ROIZ Elena Rose, “Pimienta” (Guerrera de la ...

“We have to show the positive side,” he explains. “We’re not into this world anymore.” Balvin also reveals he hangs with Escobar’s son. “He’s like, ‘my dad taught the world how to not do things right,’” Balvin recounts. “He just messed up a whole generation. I want to show the world the new generation.” That generation is striding ahead, he continues, and people from Colombia right now are “making the dream come true.” The “Mi Gente” singer also opened up about the “lottery” that is anxiety, which has struck him before showtime. “Depression is not being sad. Depression is a chemical disbalance in the brain,” he explains. “It’s way more powerful than you.” He speaks with experience on the subject.
