Bad Bunny Singer
He is an American Latin trap and reggaeton singer from Puerto Rico. He is considered one of the pioneers of Latin trap music. While he was working as a bagger at Supermercados Econo in Vega Baja, he released music as an independent artist on SoundCloud, where his song “Diles” caught the attention of DJ Luian who signed him to his record label, Hear this Music.
Since then, he has earned multiple top-ten entries on the US Hot Latin Songs chart. His breakthrough single, “Soy Peor”, established him as a forerunner in the Latin American trap scene and reached number 22 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. n the summer of 2017, Bad Bunny signed a booking deal with Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN) for several Latin American countries.
He has also been featured in Becky G’s single “Mayores”, released in July 2017. In November 2017, he hosted Beats 1’s first Spanish-language show, Trap Kingz. Also in November 2017, Bad Bunny’s track, “Tu No Metes Cabra” peaked at number 38 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The re-mix also demanded the release from prison of Anuel AA.
At around the same time, the song “Sensualidad,” released as a collaboration between Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and Prince Royce, that peaked number 8 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, while the remix of “Te Boté” with Ozuna and Nicky Jam reached number one on that chart. In 2018, Cardi B collaborated with Bad Bunny and J Balvin on the Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, “I Like It”.
In Cardi B’s single, Bad Bunny raps in Spanish, Spanglish, and English. It became Bad Bunny’s first number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. Then Bad Bunny became “El Conejo Malo”. On December 8, 2016, he released a single, Soy Peor, which reached number 22 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. This gave the young star a major breakthrough, establishing him as a forerunner in the Latin American trap industry.
2018: International success and debut album
On October 11, 2018, Bunny released “Mia”, in collaboration with Drake. It reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100. In November 2018, he released “Te Guste” with Jennifer Lopez, with a video directed by Mike Ho. He released his debut album X 100pre on Christmas Eve 2018 soon after leaving DJ Luian’s label “Hear this Music”, revealing on an Instagram live stream that he was never allowed to make an album and also confessing that he actually produced his music by himself.
He joined Rimas Entertainment soon as he left “Hear this Music” to release his debut album on December 24, 2018. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, X 100pre received an average score of 84 based on five reviews, indicating “universal acclaim”.
The record contains a variety of musical genres, including pop-punk, Andean music, Dominican dembow and “windswept 80s stadium rock”. Alexis Petridis of The Guardian praised Bad Bunny’s “off-kilter creativity”, opining that Bad Bunny “feels less like part of the current pop landscape than an artist operating slightly adjacent to it. He is separated from the pack as much by a desire to take risks as by his roots.”
2019-present: Oasis
From March 8–10, 2019, Bunny performed a sold-out weekend concert run at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, his debut in Puerto Rico’s major entertainment venue. The initial 2-date concert was sold out in a matter of hours, prompting the third date, after much speculation and demand, including specially-priced student tickets.
The weekend concert run was themed to ’90s Puerto Rican nostalgia through visual elements by local artist and illustrator Sergio Vázquez; the shows brought back a brief introduction segment featuring the famous ’90s late-night show No te duermas and its host, Antonio Sánchez “El Gángster”.
Many guests performers joined him on stage, including Tommy Torres, Becky G, J Balvin, Wisin & Yandel, Ñejo, Arcángel, PJ Sin Suela, El Alfa, Jovani Vázquez and up-and-coming rapper, Guaynaa. On June 28, 2019, Bad Bunny released Oasis, an eight-song collaborative album with J Balvin. The record was released overnight and was deemed a “surprise” release.
The two artists first met at J Balvin concert in Puerto Rico, when Bunny was working on releasing music on SoundCloud, and then collaborated on the 2017 track “Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola”. The chemistry between the two was so strong that they came up with the idea to release a joint album. Oasis peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard US Latin Albums chart.
In collaboration with Drake, Bad Bunny released “Mia” on October 11, 2018, after a tease in January. They both released the video alongside each other and it took the 5th spot on the Billboard 100. On the Eve of Christmas 2018, Bad Bunny released his debut album X 100pre.
In 2019, he performed on the main stage at Coachella. A song, “Afilando los cuchillos”, (in English: Sharpening the knives) with lyrics by Bad Bunny and Residente, was released during the 2019 protests against Ricardo Rosselló. Bad Bunny was a guest performer in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show headlined by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

Bad Bunny Artistry
The musical and lyrical style
Bad Bunny is primarily a Latin trap and reggaeton artist. As described by a Rolling Stone article, Bunny sings and raps with a “conversational tone”, employing “a low, slurry tone, viscous melodies, and a rapper’s cadence.” In an interview with Billboard, Bad Bunny stated that his biggest music inspirations growing up were Héctor Lavoe, Vico C, Daddy Yankee, and Marc Anthony.
Though primarily a trap and reggaeton artist, his songs also include influence from soul, pop, and R&B. He addressed his musical experimentation by stating, “If tomorrow I want to release a rock album or I want to release a bachata album, nobody can tell me anything why can’t I? We need to try to unite audiences, unite countries, join musical tastes, unite people.”
He also experimented with “garage-pop punk” on the song “Tenemos Que Hablar” from his X 100pre album. On July 22, 2019, Bad Bunny joined artists such as Residente, Ricky Martin, and more than half a million Puerto Ricans in taking the streets and shutting down a major highway PR-52, more commonly known as Expreso Las Américas or Autopista Luis A. Ferré, in the days-long protests against government corruption and demanding Ricardo Rosselló’s resignation.
Residente, iLe and Bad Bunny produced a protest song written and recorded in one day called “Afilando los Cuchillos” (“Sharpening the Knives”) that had 2.5 million views on YouTube within a day of its release. Bad Bunny has been openly critical towards the lack of humanitarian aid in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island of Puerto Rico.
Introducing his performance of “Estamos Bien” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on September 26, 2018, the artist stated in English “After one year of the hurricane, there are still people without electricity in their homes. More than 3,000 people died and Trump’s still in denial.” Shortly after the hurricane, Martínez personally distributed food, water, and generators in his hometown of Vega Baja.
A year later, his family home was still running on three generators. Martínez criticized the decisions made to close schools in Puerto Rico and contrasted them with the opening of more and more prisons. He has since been nominated for Telemundo’s Tu Musica Urban Awards “Humanitarian Award of the Year.”
He also criticized a tweet by reggaeton artist Don Omar that was widely considered to be homophobic. Bad responded by tweeting “Homophobia, in this day and age? How embarrassing, loco.” In 2019, Martínez played on the “Away” roster during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at the Bojangles’ Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.
