We can't wait to hear, man. And you got another legend on there too. You recruited Lil Wayne for the project. Talk about how you landed that one.

Weezy was just a lot of manifestation, just like 50. I just think with these legends you just gotta give them the right track. You know how many rappers had to have shown songs to 50 and Wayne and nothing has happened. It's just about the right track. I think I gave him the right track when they heard each beat, they said, damn. Like, he really thought about what we like. So like, I think that was a big part of it. But it's amazing, man. I got two songs with two of my top three favorite rappers. So it's a dream come true.

You also connected with a few New York artists. You got songs with Fivio Foreign and Lil Tjay. Talk about those records. You gettin' sturdy on them?

With Fivio, we getting sturdy. That's a hard one. That's gonna go crazy in New York. The Lil Tjay one is a remix and more of a strip club joint. But, but the Fivio one is a hard ass song.

You got one more with Bad Bunny too. It’s been a minute since you both collaborated but what can the fans expect from that collaboration?

It's a different song, man. It's a crazy ass song though. They're gonna love it. They're gonna love it. There are some very, very cool bars on that song. They're gonna go crazy.

We know they’re looking out for that one. What I like about you is that your approach to Latin music is very different than a lot of reggaetoneros out there. So how do you stay true to that lane versus having to switch up to fit into the Latin world?

Yeah, I think that's one of the only reasons that I love what I do. I truly love what I do cause I really do what I want and what I like. I think my fans have grown little by little each year just understanding that. I can just drop a boom-bap tomorrow… Hip-Hop… and my fans would love it because they know I like it and they understand me. We have this understanding. I think just being true to myself for so long and not giving in gave me that power to do whatever I want. I think since I've stayed so true to my art, they respect that. They trust me when I drop something.

I’m sure your fans think you’re killing it, especially when it comes to your beat selection. I know you work with a lot of dope producers. What producers can we expect on this project?

I got best in the game, bro. (Laughs) I got Hydro, Bassy, [Foreign] Teck, DVLP, Lil Geniuz, Hide Miyabi, Lil Mexico. There's a bunch more. I usually use the same people on my albums. My producers are the biggest in the world because when they come thru, they deliver. My producers are my homies, and my boys kill it like Hydro. I’ve known Hydro since like 2016. We’ve slept on couches and the f**king floor on the floor. So for him to have done the “Mbappe” joint and the “Gladiador” joint to be like doing this s**t together is amazing. Teck is my brother. All my producers are my friends so it's amazing to create crazy music with my boys.

Dope man. That's great to hear. Now, I know you just announced your plans for a Sauce Boys Festival. Tell us about that.

Damn bro, that's the hardest festival. The Caribbean and Puerto Rico has never seen a festival like this. I don't know when we're gonna put out the lineup but bro, it's international. We got very, very, big American headliners and Latino headliners and then we got me closing the show. It’s a two day event. One day is gonna be on the west side and the other day is gonna be in the north side by San Juan. But it's gonna be an amazing event, man. I haven't seen anything like that or no other Latino doing anything like that. It's gonna be amazing, but I can't wait for people to just go and see what we've been working on for so long.
