Puerto Rican singer/ songwriter Farrukohas unveiled the very special reworking of his own hit single ‘Krippy Kush’, which has so far amassed a whopping 72 million Spotify streams. The track, which was released earlier this summer, has dominated charts all over the world, peaking at the #5 spot on “Hot Latin Songs,” and garnering over half a billion views on the official video release. In the Latin Region, the single reached the Top 5 on radio charts in Panama, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Chile, Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Costa Rica.

Roping in the skills of internationally acclaimed rap superstar Nicki Minaj, and American hip-hop artist 21 Savage, the latest version of Farruko’s production is a vibrant and dynamic take on the original, with both artists spinning their uptempo lyrics across the piece to create a brooding, lyrically aggressive tone over the dirty trap production.

Having started his career in reggaeton, singer/songwriter Farruko fuses elements of hip-hop and Spanish-trap to create an artistically fluid sound, having previously collaborated with the likes of J Balvin and Daddy Yankee.  

“I am so happy for the support we have received with the song,” says Farruko. “We never expected it to become so viral but the good thing is that we showed that Latin trap is here to stay, redefine the urban genre, and even capture the attention of the general market. Now we have the pleasure of collaborating with Nicki Minaj and 21 Savage, two great exponents of urban music. This shows that there are no limits to what we can do with music.” - Farruko

His recent album TrapXficante, featuring today’s top Latam players (Bad Bunny, Anuel AA, Fetty Wap, Jacob Forever), has helped cement him as one of the most respected artists in Latin Urban music, and serves as follow up to his platinum-certified album Visionary, which included the multi-platinum hit singles Chillax (6x platinum), Obsesionado (4x platinum) and Sunset (4x platinum).

Having gone viral with the #KrippyKushChallenge, which started when fans, and celebrities such as Lebron James and Arturo Vidal, began uploading videos imitating the dance from the single’s official music video across social media. ‘Krippy Kush’ has carved a reputation as a timeless anthem featuring Jamaican producer  Tarik ‘Rvssian’ Johnston and rising Latin star Bad Bunny. With Nicki and 21 Savage joining forces on this high powered remix, the production looks set to become one of the most notable crossover collaborations of the year and launches as Zane Lowe’World Record on Beats 1.

The release follows Farruko’s 25-date US Tour, and precedes his upcoming European tour with the producer playing a run of 10 dates across the continent, ending in London at the Coronet Theatre on Sunday 10th December.-
