Peso Pluma in Chicago

About Peso Pluma

Peso Pluma emerged as one of the defining voices of corridos tumbados, the Mexican regional rap-trap hybrid that dominated streaming in the early 2020s. Born Germán Laracuente in Monterrey, he built his reputation on TikTok before breaking into mainstream consciousness with viral hits that blended trap beats with regional Mexican instrumentation and confident, bilingual flows. His collaboration with Bizarrap on 'BZRP, Vol. 53' became a cultural moment, introducing his sound to audiences far beyond Latin America. Songs like 'Ella Baila Sola' showcase his ability to make introspective tracks feel effortlessly cool, while his presence on tracks with Bad Bunny and other reggaeton artists positioned him as a bridge between different Latin urban sounds. He represents a generation of artists who grew up with trap and regional Mexican music as simultaneous reference points, creating something that feels both deeply rooted in Mexican tradition and completely contemporary.

Peso Pluma shows move fast and feel chaotic in the best way. Crowds rap along to every word, and the energy doesn't dip between songs. He's genuinely engaged with the audience, not distant. Expect thick clouds and people losing it during the bigger tracks.

Known for Bzrp, Vol. 53 (Bzrp Session), Ella Baila Sola, Tití Me Preguntó, Un x100to, Ella y Yo
