Ozuna worked on a lot of songs for his new album, Ozutochi, out today (Friday, October 7th). “I took two years to prepare,” Ozuna tells Consequence, “And I had 75, 65 songs. I get only 18 songs for this album… so it was difficult.” But fret not: the 18 songs he did select for Ozutochi show the Latin superstar at his very best. His signature tenor and stylish deliveries are on full display, and whether he’s starting the party or crooning through love songs, his unshakeable star power looms large.

J Balvin stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to announce he’s headed out on a world tour next year in support of his new album Jose. “There was rumors of you announcing a tour or going on tour, and you haven’t done anything or said anything that you’re going to.

In the world of Urbano and reggaeton, you don’t get much bigger than J Balvin, so get ready to know María Becerra’s name. The YouTuber-turned-300 Entertainment-signee has joined Balvin on the new single “Qué Más Pues?” To be fair, Becerra’s star was already swiftly on the rise, so this collaboration is really just the latest stop on her ascent. The 21-year-old became a popular influencer with her comedy, music, and vlog postings on YouTube, eventually self-releasing her debut EP, 222, in 2019. She signed with 300 a few months...
