SOG and Ryan Castro: A Hit-Making Duo

SOG, Medellin’s premier producer and artist, is making waves in the music industry with his distinct sound and global influence. Known for his slogan "Que Chimba SOG," he has earned respect from the creative community by producing hits for artists such as Ryan Castro, Peso Pluma, Feid, Zion, Myke Towers, and Carlos Vives. His recent nomination for "Producer of the Year" at Premios Heat 2024 highlights his breakthrough success and impact on the urban music scene.

Collaborations and Chart-Topping Hits

As a long-time collaborator of Ryan Castro, SOG has been instrumental in creating several of Castro’s biggest hits. Among these are "QUEMA" featuring Peso Pluma, which earned SOG his first RIAA Diamond Certification and a spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Other notable tracks include "Mujeriego," "Jordan," "Monastery" with Feid, "Wasa Wasa," and "Corazon Roto." His work on Castro’s latest album, "El Cantante Del Ghetto," showcases his versatility, having produced and co-authored 11 songs and featured as an artist on three tracks.

Expanding Musical Horizons

While SOG is renowned for his heavy-hitting reggaeton, trap, and dancehall rhythms, he has also ventured into other genres. His exploration into Merengue and cumbia, most notably with the 8x platinum RIAA Certified hit "Mujeriego," earned him a place on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in 2022. This track also appeared on Billboard’s Global Excl U.S. and Global 200 charts, demonstrating his ability to transcend musical boundaries and achieve international recognition.

Debut Album and Future Projects

In February 2024, SOG released his debut album, "SOG, Vol 1," solidifying his status as both an artist and a producer. The album features 10 tracks and includes collaborations with artists from the new generation such as Brray, Ryan Castro, Maikel delacalle, Yng Lucas, and Blessd. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant reggaeton beats of Colombia’s streets, the album captures the essence of today’s urban sound. Looking ahead, SOG is set to release his second studio album in the coming year.

Global Influence and Ambitions

SOG is currently the third most listened-to Colombian producer on Spotify, following Ovy On The Drums and Sky Rompiendo. With millions of monthly listeners, he aims to continue exporting his sound worldwide. His slogan, "Que Chimba SOG," resonates on dance floors and street corners across the globe, as he continues to shape the future of urban music.
