BAD BUNNY 🐇 In the wake of a year that saw Bad Bunny start to redefine expectations for Latino pop stars and link with hip-hop giants, the trap en español poster boy certainly has his work cut out for him. As is the case with any star who is riding high on the success of a breakout single, fans are eager to see how El Conejo Malo will follow up on “Krippy Kush,” which garnered remixes with Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, and even Travis Scott. Late last night on Instagram, Benito Ocasio posted a one-minute teaser of an untitled track featuring an upcoming collab with none other than rap king Future. As Rapetón reports, the clip is brewing a bit of controversy; El Conejo Malo seems to allude to sexual relationships with Puerto Rican models Mimi Pabón and Natalia Rivera, and even BB himself seems to understand the song is contentious, captioning the post “Que vulgar ese muchacho!” No word on where or when the track will drop, but listen to the full clip via Bad Bunny’s Instagram, and read our feature about how Bad Bunny became the face of Latin trap via www.remezcla.com @badbunnypr ✏️ Isabelia Herrera via @remezcla #mxtbreed #badbunny #theunion #lanuevareligión #upcomingrelease #teaser #future #anuelaa #collaboration #latintrap #mxtmusic #newsound #newmusic #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #music #trending #visualarchitects #artofsounds #trap #spifftv #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries

EST-HER ⛪️ Pushing a budding career as a ballet dancer to the side, Toronto native Est-Her took considerable time to make sure his music lived up to his own expectations. "I've been sitting on some of these tracks for a year now," he explained. "My first track 'Sympathy' was pretty aggressive, so I thought I'd take a deep breath with 'Last Minute Wedding,' which I wrote with a crazy talented young producer from France called Poter Elvinger. I have about three albums-worth of music I'm sitting on at the moment, and my laptop is dying. I think it's time." The self-directed video for ”Last Minute Wedding”, which is his first ever, is just as dramatic and beautifully put together as the song itself, with Est-Her himself channeling a Romeo + Juliet-era Leonardo DiCaprio vibe. He's still independent and without a label, but we don't expect things to remain that way for long. No word on when we can expect more music from Est-Her, but if you're just getting familiar, make sure to check out the equally as fantastic "Sympathy." @esthersounds ✏️ Joe Price via @pigsandplans #mxtbreed #esther #poterelvinger #toronto #mxtmusic #lastminutewedding #newsound #sympathy #newmusic #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #cinematic #music #trending #visualarchitects #newvideo #newrelease #artofsounds #torontonative #musicproduction #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries

CORBIN 🎃 This isn’t a drill folks, the artist formerly known as Spooky Black just dropped a new song.

He’s going by corbin now and he’s been painfully quiet on the music front. Today’s a day for celebration however as corbin‘s just dropped this new lo-fi sounding song “ICE BOY”. In addition to that, corbin‘s going on tour with those same two featured producers Shlomo @shlohmo and D33J @h3yd33j beginning on September 7th. Check out the new track and out the full list of tour dates. ✏️ Trixx via @fashearlymusic @dr_stink #mxtbreed #corbin #spookyblack #iceboy #mxtmusic #minnesota #newsound #newmusic #newtrack #shlomo #d33j #newrelease #tourdates #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #music #singer #trending #visualarchitects #artofsounds #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries

JESSIE REYEZ 🌨 You can get a team of great songwriters and producers, pair them with a great singer, and maybe create a hit. But does it feel real? Does it mean anything? The songs that connect, the songs that change people's lives—they have real and emotions and actual stories behind them. Whether it's Amy Winehouse's heartbroken balladry or Sia laying bare her personal demons, we'll take something honest over something engineered. Even before seeing the video for Jessie Reyez' "Figures," the song feels intimate, but the audio and video combination is an intense experience. The singer and songwriter was born in Toronto to Colombian parents, and she has already made music with King Louie and hung out with Chance The Rapper. Based off "Figures," we can't wait to hear her EP, which is on the way. ✏️ Alex Gardner via @pigsandplans @jessiereyez #mxtbreed #jessiereyez #mxtmusic #newsound #newmusic #figures #toronto #colombia #latinx #latina #singer #songwriter #newep #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #music #trending #visualarchitects #artofsounds #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries

1-O.A.K. ⛲️ Over the past two years, 1-O.A.K. has lent his talents to a who's-who of Bay Area artists, including Kamaiyah, P-Lo, and Rayana Jay. Now, the Oakland singer, songwriter, and producer is stepping out with his long-awaited Riding In Cars With Girls album. Over the course of the 15-track project, 1-O.A.K. matches upbeat tempos with lighthearted hooks and brings intimate songwriting to the album's slower moments, indulging in nostalgia while also acknowledging the present moment. "RICWG is me reflecting on being single after a bad break up and navigating through my romantic relationships over the past few years.. The women in my life, at whatever point, were very different from each other and I wanted the variety in the music and instrumentation to reflect those experiences. I wrote and produced a majority of the record so you're going to hear songs you weren't expecting to hear from an R&B artist from Oakland." ✏️ Ben Dandridge-Lemco via @fader @1oakallday #mxtbreed #1oak #ridingincarswithgirls #RICWG #oakland #newalbum #rnb #bayarea #songwriter #nostalgia #mxtmusic #newsound #newmusic #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #music #trending #visualarchitects #artofsounds #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries

SONDER 🔮 Singer Brent Faiyaz, and producers Atu and Dpat began quietly releasing music as Sonder on SoundCloud last summer. In October, the trio finally delivered a proper introduction to their new group with the release of their first single "Too Fast." In January, Sonder followed up their debut single with the release of their full Into EP. In the months since their EP's release, Sonder have performed for sold-out crowds in Los Angeles and Brooklyn—allowing their momentum to continue at a steady and strong pace. Today, the R&B trio finally offers up their first official music video for their lead single "Too Fast." The visuals directed by Noah Lee show a surreal depiction of the circle of life set in the middle of vast farmlands, with Faiyaz centered as the protagonist. Rather than wearing his heart on his sleeve, as the saying goes, the video shows a young Faiyaz literally holding his beating heart within his hands as the lyrics tell a story of heartbreak. Check out the video and look out for new music from this up and coming group. ✏️Adrienne Black via @pigsandplans @sonder

KAP G 🎩 Following in the footsteps of his El Southside mixtape from last year, which spawned his huge hit “Girlfriend,” the Georgia native is giving us 12 new tracks, which contain features from Pharrell, Chris Brown, Dae Dae, and Kapfe. While sharing the link to the project with fans, Kap took to Twitter to write, “WORKED MY A$$ OFF ON THIS MIXTAPE !!! AVAILABLE NOW EVERYWHERE !!!” Fans were warmed up to receive new music from Kap earlier last month, as he dropped both “Rings,” which is off of SupaJefe, and the Breezy-featured “I See You.” Earlier this year, Kap G pitched himself to land a spot amongst the XXL Freshmen class for 2017, which is set to be revealed this summer. You’ll have to wait and find out if he makes the final cut, but for now, you can stream the brand new project online, or purchase it on iTunes. ✏️Lindsey India via @xxl @therealkapg #mxtbreed #mxtmusic #kapg #supajefe #mixtape #mexicano #georgia #newrelease #newsound #newmusic #feature #blog #featuredartist #allthingsgood #music #trending #visualarchitects #artofsounds #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries
