Nicky Jam and Steve Aoki Team for New Single, ‘Jaleo’
Nicky Jam and Steve Aoki have teamed up for a reggaeton-moombahton crossover single titled “Jaleo.” The track is both artists’ first collaboration together.
Aoki is no stranger to crossovers, having linked up with Daddy Yankee, Play-N-Skillz, and Elvis Crespo on “Azukita” in February. The same can be said for Nicky, who was featured on the remix of Jaden Smith‘s “Icon” and the Latin remix of Post Malone‘s “rockstar.”
“Jaleo” also received an accompanying visual. Filmed in Miami, the video shows Nicky and Aoki at a pool party surrounded by beautiful women.
Watch it above and download “Jaleo” on DJcity.

Steve Aoki Addresses His Critics
From DJ Jazzy Jeff to The Gaslamp Killer, Serato has a reputation for producing videos that feature some of the world’s most respected and forward-thinking DJs. The company has expanded their subject matter though, as their latest set of videos feature the immensely successful yet controversial Steve Aoki. The Dim Mak boss has apparently been a Serato user since the mid-2000s and relies on it heavily.
While most videos about Aoki usually focus on his growing empire, the first in Serato’s two-part series has a much different tone. Within minutes, the superstar DJ/producer admits that he’s one of the most criticized DJs and addresses the backlash.
The second video is more interesting from a technical standpoint, as it features Aoki’s tour manager Dillon Anderson discussing Aoki’s DJ setup and why Serato Video is crucial to his performance.
Watch them below and check out Aoki’s profile on Serato’s website.
