Farruko and El Micha Drop Dancehall-Influenced Single, ‘Fuego’
Puerto Rico’s Farruko and Cuba’s El Micha have dropped a dancehall-influenced reggaeton heater called “Fuego.” The track samples and interpolates classic dancehall tracks throughout, most notably Junior Reid’s 1989 anthem, “One Blood.”
A staple in the reggaeton scene, Farruko has been a crucial figure in the Latin trap scene. His Bad Bunny-assisted anthem “Krippy Kush” has crossed over in the US thanks to a remix featuring Nicki Minaj and 21 Savage.

According to Billboard, “the song debuted at No. 20 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and reached No. 5 without any major radio airplay.” The chart has traditionally been dominated by reggaeton and pop.

Watch Ozuna, Farruko, Bad Bunny, and More Discuss the History of Latin Trap
Ozuna
As part of their A Brief History Of series, Billboard spoke with some of the biggest names in Latin trap music to discuss the history of the genre.
In the video, artists Ozuna, Farruko, Bad Bunny, De La Ghetto, Messiah talk about how Latin trap began, how it has evolved, and where it is today.
The genre is gaining momentum thanks to a new generation of “trapperos” like Bad Bunny and Anuel AA.
Puerto Rican rapper De La Ghetto agrees, saying in the video that Bunny is “the most important trap artist right now.” Bunny was recently featured on the remix of Major Lazer‘s hit single “Know No Better.” On Friday, rising New York rapper Cardi B enlisted Messiah for a remix of her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow.”
“[Trap is] the closest expression to the streets and to the way the new generation is living,” Farruko says in the clip.
“What people were doing was a small imitation of what American artists were doing,” Bad Bunny says. “They took American hits and turned them into their songs.”
