Bad Bunny Has A Message For Your Mom

Published: March 17, 2020, 6 a.m.

Latin Trap megastar Bad Bunny may be best known to American audiences for his feature on Cardi B\u2019s #1 \u201cI Like It\u2019, but the Puerto Rican native is known to music-lovers worldwide for more than just those few bars. Bunny started off as a student in Universidad de Puerto Rico studying audio visual communications. He was bagging groceries at a supermarket in PR when he posted his song \u2018Diles\u2019 on SoundCloud. That moody, 808-fueled track turned into a record deal, as well as huge feature opportunities with bigger acts like Becky G, and of course--Cardi. His newest project, YHLQMDLG (an acronym that stands for the Spanish translation of \u201cI do what I want\u201d) is currently smothering the Hot Latin Billboard Chart. The albums opening track, "Si Veo a Tu Mam\xe1" had us listening to the origins of Bossa nova, and investigate how elevator music-sounding samples and overused chord progressions add up to latin trap magic for El Conejito Malo.\xa0\nSpecial thanks to Bad Bunny super fan and listener Maita, for never giving up hope :)\n\nSongs discussed:\nBad Bunny - Diles\nBecky G ft.
