The Audio:
Hit-making singer-songwriter, Farruko, releases his newest track “PEPAS.” “PEPAS” shows the Puerto Rican superstar once again demonstrating his chameleon-like ability to surprise fans across the world–”PEPAS” perfectly blends Latin music and electronic music, providing the ideal soundtrack for summer parties across the globe. While the song starts off slow with Farruko singing in a melody that begins to build, it quickly picks up and morphs into something that is reminiscent of pre-COVID dance parties. To perfectly match the vibe and energy of the song, Farruko expertly weaves a story of complete fun at the club with one’s closest friends enjoying life in its purest form.

The song follows in the footsteps of his previous hit single “Love 66” alongside breakout Staten Island rapper CJ–a dark and gritty drill anthem that stands in stark contrast with “PEPAS”– as well as his five nominations at the 2021 Premios Juventud Awards, and his high-powered “Premium” single release, with “Oh Mama” ft. Myke Towers and “XOXA” ft. El Alfa. The song is available to stream on all digital platforms today.
The virtuoso Urban artist recently announced his long awaited return to the stage with his first ever US arena tour, “LA 167” (La Uno Seis Siete) Tour that will be making stops at more than 12 cities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

It will also make stops in San Jose, CA, and San Diego, CA, presented by Live Nation. “LA 167” kicks off in November 2021 and will end in his native Puerto Rico in February 2022.

Nine Latin Airplay #1 Hits (including 2020’s “La Toxica”)
“After his 2017 single ‘Krippy Kush’ became the first Latin trap song to reach the Hot 100 singles chart, Farruko did the unexpected by shifting his next album away from the burgeoning format and returning to urbano’s reggae roots. Eschewing tough rap braggadocio in favor of tuff gong vibrations, Gangalee makes Carribbean connections via cuts like the breezy ‘Quédate’ and the throwback ‘Pórtate Mal.'” – Rolling Stone’s Best Latin Albums of 2019 (Gangalee)
“Whether or not you realize it, this Puerto Rican rapper is one of the most popular artists in America right now.” – Vice
“Luckily, a few artists have taken on the task of ensuring [reggaeton’s] origins aren’t suppressed or forgotten. Farruko is one of the few at the forefront, doing so in the most overt fashion…Farruko, who has over a decade of experience in the music industry, has been a part of that time of reinvention for reggaeton, trap en español, and now reggae…Taking on the advice of the wise, Farruko more often than not says the least but does the most, pouring out his thoughts, emotions and vision for the future of Latin music into extended albums and tracks.” – Remezcla
