Farruko drops “PEPAS” and the song currently sits high on Spotify’s Global Top 50 charts, and at the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Chart. Following the winning of his award and energy-filled performance at Premios Juventud, the Puerto Rican is poised for his LA 167 album set to drop this Fall.
The Video
A versatile vocalist with global appeal, Farruko has a genre-bending hit on his hands with his new song “PEPAS.” Today, the Puerto Rican superstar shares the eye-catching video for “PEPAS,” demonstrating the dance-inducing power that’s propelling the song up the charts. Seamlessly blending sounds from urbano and electronic music, “PEPAS” is a dancefloor-ready epic, complete with monstrous drums, gang vocals, and a thrilling beat drop, in which sirenic synths duel with triumphant trumpets. Directed by Mike Ho, the video for “PEPAS” makes clear that the song is an anthem for wild nights. Farru performs atop a makeshift stage made of shipping containers, presiding over a carnivalesque rave, complete with neon light installations, pyrotechnics, fire dancers, and men dressed in neon suits. The party continues until daybreak, when Farru gathers his crew and heads out into the desert to host an off-road vehicle derby.

Critical Acclaim
“Farruko’s 2017 hit single ‘Krippy Kush’ broke barriers as the first Latin trap song to enter the Hot 100 chart. In a surprising move, he shifted his next album back to the reggae roots of urbano music. Gangalee, featured in Rolling Stone’s Best Latin Albums of 2019, embraces the Caribbean vibes with tracks like the breezy ‘Quédate’ and the nostalgic ‘Pórtate Mal.'””This Puerto Rican rapper is currently one of the most popular artists in America, whether you realize it or not.” – Vice”Farruko has been at the forefront of preserving the origins of reggaeton and ensuring they are not forgotten. Having been in the music industry for over ten years, Farruko has seen the growth and changes in reggaeton, trap en español, and reggae. He expresses his thoughts, emotions, and vision for the future of Latin music through his extensive albums and tracks, embodying the wisdom of speaking less and taking action. – Remezcla
