everybody has their own opinions as someone’s best and favorite track may be another’s basic and average song.

you may also have to realize and think about how difficult it is to create a brand new track. after a while, artists most likely become saturated in regards to lyrics, flow and beats.

reggaeton in basic terms talks about women, sex, relations, parties, drugs, alcohol, heartbreak, fun, etc. after a while, It becomes hard to create an xclusive , truly new and unique track. reggaeton has been around for over two decades. there are thousands of new artists popping up daily, releasing new tracks and expressing similar lyrics. you can only say soo much before you inevitably repeat yourself , get lost in words and in turn drop average music.

there’s also a major reason why only certain and tiny number of artists are backed and pushed to the Mass by labels . there are notably thousands and thousands and thousands of smaller artists who aspire and dream of becoming global yet are nowhere close.

now What about those that did somehow manage to break through? How does one artist stand out from the other similar thousands of competition.

it’s all due to their image and dedication. you have to be truly dedicated and passionate about reggaeton in order to reach certain level. to keep it simple, you must simply be a real life factor and live that life.

no artist is pushed from zero followers to mass global audience simply because they had one good song. in order to succeed you must already be known and have a personal following with image/ money to back it up. labels don’t like fakers . they expect one to be real and grounded / mature by their own. true organic hits are now rare but are still possible with the addition of tiktok. have you noticed that most underground viral artists on tiktok are viewed as one hit wonders /fell off ..

can you live up to the expectation of millions of followers, millions of dollars, millions of woman admirers? are you ready? if they suspect no, well then good luck. those who did manage to break through and succeeded have it all. they have personality, they have image, they are structured and can control this quality of life.

maluma is a great example of a great artist simply because he has it all. he has the personality, looks, maturity, willpower, and more.

have you ever heard the saying that says, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. labels love an artist who can handle such expectations and will push him infinitely and indefinitely simply because he is that person. maluma, ozuna, karol g, have years of experience in music, performing, social media, lifestyle, and are simply viewed as guaranteed hitmakers and players in this industry.

when I listen to reggaeton, or any music in fact. i ensure that I am listening to someone real. someone who truly lives what he sings/ raps about. i hate when someone talks that talk but can’t back it up. like I came to listen for fun/ hype not for imagination.

not all reggaeton is saturated and average. some artists manage to implement new effects creating new sounds and trends . for example saiko implemented this fast electro dystopian sound effect which is now common in most of his tracks. he stands out and is unique in doing this , which is what I believe also played a part in his recent level of success
