Anuel AA & Chris Jedi, “Los de Siempre” (UMG Recordings)
A friendship that stems from their teen years is renewed once again in a new Anuel and Chris Jedi track titled “Los De Siempre.” With its raw and honest lyrics, the edgy Latin trap song comes off as a message for haters but it’s more than that. “Los de Siempre” is an ode to 15 years of friendship between the Puerto Rican artist and hitmaker. The chorus celebrates those real friends who have been by your side through thick and thin. “My day ones are here, my day ones are here/ I have my people making money,” Anuel chants. “There’s a reason behind this song and this project,” Jedi said in a press statement. “We are not talking about two people who met recently, we are talking about friends for life.” “This collaboration is special,” added Anuel. “With fewer people in your circle, fewer chances of getting deceived.” — JESSICA ROIZ
