Turns out they were right. A few days later, Biza and Cano confirmed “BZRP Music Session #59” on their social networks. On April 3, the two-song project was officially released and is as explosive and raw as previous musical sessions recorded by artists such as Residente, Arcángel and Young Miko.
“#59,” a collaboration that has been brewing since 2021, according to a press release, was created after a “spontaneous” meeting in Miami between the two artists that year and is fueled by Bizarrap’s innovative Argentine trap. “Now that they know that we are up, they think that one has not fought,” Cano spits in the song, which they refer to as “Endiamantado.”
Meanwhile, the second song on this release, “Entre las de 20,” fuses Cano’s corrido tumbado hybrid with synths and Bizarrap’s signature style.

It is not the first time that Bizarrap collaborates with a Mexican music artist. Last summer, he released “BZRP Music Sessions #55” with Peso Pluma, which peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl chart. US (June 17).
