Getting back into the Latin music scene, we are focusing this segment on the 24th most played track in Mexico, as hopefully I'm not butchering this man's name too horrendously. But John Breel, I think, I think it's John Breel, right? And D.FZM and of course, Jada, these three artists have a particular track titled Vitam. Vitamina. I think that's how you said. So anyways, I haven't talked about these artists ever. It's the first time ever talking about these three particular artists on the podcast. If you don't know, John Breel, just know

he is emerging Yucadorian artist born in 2003, specializing in regga tone, right? So as far as Latin trap, you already know I cover a lot of Latin music as far as raw Alejandro, as far as Chino Packets, Paisal Pluma, bad bunny, things in that nature.

Chico, well, Paisal Pluma is my favorite, you know, just to let you know. I do enjoy diving into the Latin community, especially learning about what they sound like incorporating trap elements into their music. And John Briel is no difference. There's no different as when he combined reggae tone and Latin trap. Basically, back in 2023, he went viral for his hit Parte Y choke and his style, of course, once again, blended a lot of modern hip-hop, which, you know, I really enjoy as far as just a fan of different genres and realizing how impactful it is on some of my favorite musicians, right? So DFZM is my favorite is my first time covering this artist, right?

He's also a Eucadorian artist known for his vocal delivery and Latin trap contributions. So he's also a Latin trap artist. And he gained a lot of recognition in the urban scene. And his biggest highlight came from John Braille as far as this track, Vitamina. Last but definitely not least is Jada or Jodah. I don't know how to pronounce it. He's a lesser known artist, but of course he is more notable for his role in Yucador's growing urban music scene. So ultimately, this is telling me that John Brel is really helping out in his community as far as having artists who are bubbling on the scene from his

local region on a commercial track like this. it being the 24th most play track in Mexico is no easy feat and for John Braille to successfully accomplish that but also to bring his brothers along with him from his specific hometown as far as DF Ziam and Jada just showcases the camaraderie amongst these particular artists now of course this track Vitamina how you pronounce it came out and it was under Lodont song gray nuova and warner music latina and of course like i said the regga tone and latin trap elements are all throughout the track and the theme of the track is of course the nightlife as when you're getting into trap elements you've got to talk about

the nightlife and what you enjoy about the nightlife activities you know what i'm saying like sometimes you got to go a little shannon sharp to showcase what you enjoy in your private time right so anyways um When it comes to the production, it's a lot of demo, right? The hooks is one of the main things I enjoy because the main thing, if you don't know, I don't speak Spanish. I don't know if y'all couldn't tell that by now. So I'm listening to tracks, right? And I don't understand the language.

The main thing I look for is sonically, is it pleasing? And what is the structure of the track? Usually I can easily tell the structure of a song by what's the bridge, what's the chorus, by the sonics, right? So I'm looking for song structure. I'm looking for how it sounds. And that's how I go by my lip miscal for if I enjoy a track or not as far as a language or as far as from an artist whose language I don't understand. So anyways, getting back into it.

When it comes to John Burrell, it's received strong reception in the hometown as far as Yucador going number one on Spotify's top 50 Yucador playlist. And that is a big deal because not only are you the 24th most play track in Mexico, but in your own region, you have the most popular track, which is usually how it goes. You know, if it was flip-flop, people would be calling, you know, people will be calling like it was fake numbers or something. But as far as it blowing up in your hometown, it makes sense that it's even more popular, well, not more popular, but it's even as popular in Mexico as far as it being a 24th most play track.

Now, when it comes to them, having their cultural roots all throughout their track and just showcase the elements in their music video, how they really embrace their culture, showcase that to the masses without the fear of being judged, because that's really how to be authentically yourself and come across more genuine, is to get into things that you enjoy in your culture, right? People like to shy away from things that they may be embarrassed by, right? but highlighting what you come from and all the, I don't know if imperfect is the right word,

but how imperfect it is and showcasing that, what more alike than we think, I think it's the best way to come across to your music because people are going to realize that you're genuinely being you and you're showcasing something that can't be replicated in any other place because that's specifically for your region and your culture. So I like how he's running the charts with that. ultimately I don't know where he would end up on the overall billboard charts but currently he's doing well with the track

Vietnam Vietnam Mina making sure I'm not I'm probably vitaminina I'm definitely a butchering that track title but I think the last time I looked at it as far as the projections for this particular track I think it was projected to be on the billboard 100 but I can't find it yeah so I can't find it right now but at some point Let me see. Yeah, okay, so I can't. It's all on Mexico's charts, but overall, I don't know where I end up on Billboard. But, you know, having the 24th most play track in Mexico is still a humongous accomplishment. So with that being, say, click my link to your bio.

Let me know on one of my social media. What do you think about Vitamina by John Brielle, D.F. ZM. And also, if this is your first time hearing about these artists, are you more willing to check them out? Thank you.
