De La Ghetto, the renowned urban artist and pioneer in Latin music, has embarked on a new era in his career with the release of his latest studio album, "GZ." This album marks his first studio release as an independent artist since parting ways with Warner Music Latina. Distributed by The Orchard, the album is released under his label Latin Nation Entertainment, showcasing his artistic freedom and creative control.
"GZ" consists of 12 tracks that explore a fusion of sultry and bold R&B sounds, influenced by the street vibes of late '90s and early 2000s. Additionally, the album incorporates hard-hitting reggaeton and unapologetic trap elements, creating a diverse musical experience for his listeners. Collaborations play a significant role in "GZ," with featured artists such as Myke Towers, Arcangel, Nesi, Villano Antillano, and more, adding their unique styles to the album's sonic palette.
De La Ghetto revealed that the creative process for "GZ" was distinct from his previous works. Originally intending to release singles, his manager encouraged him to compile an album, which ultimately motivated him as an independent artist. With no external pressures or deadlines, De La Ghetto found himself flowing creatively and having fun throughout the album's production.
Prior to "GZ," De La Ghetto released his star-studded album "Los Chulitos" in 2020 while still signed with Warner Music Latina. In contrast, "GZ" embraces a new wave of trap and reggaeton stars from Puerto Rico, paying homage to his roots and highlighting emerging talents from his homeland. De La Ghetto aimed to infuse the album with a fresh energy and sound, allowing the new artists to take the lead and contribute to the evolving De La Ghetto brand.
The creation of "GZ" spanned nine months, during which De La Ghetto personally selected his collaborators and dedicated himself to the project. As an independent artist, he sought to find his passion and purpose in creating music, ensuring that the album was driven by genuine emotion and intention. This dedication is evident throughout the album, which seamlessly blends audacious and sensual lyrics with captivating melodies, showcasing De La Ghetto's distinctive trademark style.
With the release of "GZ," De La Ghetto solidifies his position as an influential force in Latin music. The album serves as a testament to his enduring creativity and ability to adapt to the ever-changing music landscape. As fans eagerly consume the highly-anticipated album, they are treated to explosive collaborations and a musical journey that highlights De La Ghetto's evolution as an artist.
"GZ" is now available on all major music streaming platforms, including Apple Music, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the distinct sounds and experiences that De La Ghetto has crafted with passion and purpose. As he enters this new era as an indie artist, De La Ghetto continues to push boundaries, captivate audiences, and leave an indelible mark on the Latin music scene.
