The neoperreo flag-bearers, Ms Nina and Tomasa del Real, joined forces for “Y Dime”, a reggaeton track that accompanies a webcam-inspired video with cameos from Flavia Substance, DiablaFire, Tech Girl, Aleja mom and others. These two took the female figure empowerment in reggaeton to another level.

YUNGLiAN – Me Siento Triste En Venezuela (MiAMi)
Since we met YUNGLiAN on our visit to Caracas we knew that this rebel would get to our filthy hearts, and so it was, we were hooked with this track that desperately screams to the exile of young Venezuelans who have no future in the country, so YUNGLiAN prefers to be found dead in Miami (instead). The track was produced by BRRBOZZA.
