Now, one of the biggest things when it comes to the Mexican region and covering tracks from that specific region is noting the music that stands out to me personally because I'm not from there, right? So when I'm getting into a Pisa Pluma, Carol G. Luis R. Conrequess, I think that's how you said. Anyways, these are some of the top players from that region musically, right? as far as putting out music, impacting the masses, and effectively getting them to engage with their musical content. But as far as currently, one of the things I wanted to get into was the track Giza from Natanel Cano and Oscar Madone. Hopefully I said that right.

Probably severely butchered those names. But y'all get what I'm saying, right? The track Giza by Natanel Cano and Oscar Maidone is currently the seventh most played track in Mexico. Why is that significant? Because the impact from overseas musicians when it comes to American artists, let's just say barring some of their sauce and using it for their own to impact the masses is blatant. and I think should be noted to the point where American audiences are aware of it. Because when it comes to certain success on the charts, you will come to find out a lot of samples that's used nowadays is from the popular songs from overseas.

I hate to do this, but my favorite musician, Drake, he is an example of this. basically one of his biggest tracks of all time with one dance used an already popular track from whiz kid and basically sampled it quote unquote but also had him as a feature on a track and then he was uh he did this again last year with drake oh well of course he's Drake uh with him uh future and tims where they sample Tim's already successful track higher I believe the track was higher but anyways it was already a successful track from Tim's and it was a whole debacle over future trying to get the sample from Tim's on his album and you know she's from um she's from her region specifically

and the type of music that she's putting out Afrobeats right I don't know why I was blinking on the genre but she puts out Afrobeat and she's from that error, right? And from that sound and she's authentic with it. And she already had a successful track. And here comes future trying to use her song, already successful track as a sample for his song, Wait for You. But guess what?

She wasn't going to clear it because I already have a popular track. Why are you trying to take it for your album? I mean, it's reminiscent of what, to give a hip hop example, is reminiscent of what Kanye West did to designers panda took it. and we ain't never heard of designer since, right? I'm glad that Tim's didn't suffer the same fate because, to be fair, she's way more talented than designer. I don't think there's any arguments with that.

But long story short, Tim's ended up clearing the sample because of Drake getting involved and being a part of it because then it's actually beneficial to Tim's. It's like, okay, well, if you're going to introduce me to a much bigger audience than I have currently because future, no disrespect the future. but let's just say his audience probably won't, you know, translate over to Tim's demographic, right? Or Tim's listenership. But as far as Drake, monthly listeners consider when you collab with a bigger audience,

automatically your monthly listeners go up because that's just how the system works. So when Drake hops on the track, now you're going to clear the sample because you're going to get introduced to Drake's audience, which is one of the biggest ever, right? So that's how that track came about. But basically, I say all that to say this. American artists always use certain sounds from overseas. It's already popular to blow up their tracks that they're about to put out. For nostalgia sake and numbers sake, is one of those to where is the old trick in the book to go back and use something that was already popular for your current releases.

So with this track specifically being the, you know, tying it all the way back. back to Giza with this track being the seventh most played track in Mexico best believe and don't be surprised if somebody uses this sound in the future from a whole other region from a whole another genre just to simply benefit off of this already being a successful sonically it's already successful to consumption to consumers ears so now when you're putting it out it's less of a gamble on if people are going to like to track or not it's always that nostalgia factor that plays in plays into effect. So with that being said, you know, Oscar Maidone is on here, which I think I've covered like a bunch of times. But if you look up Oscar Maidone and

analytic dreams, you would see me speaking on him previously. But if you want to know how to spell Maidone, it's like M-A-Y-D-O-N. Only reason I spell that out, because I probably but I probably butcher the way you pronounce it. But anyways, his popular tracks like L-D-A-Codeana, of course has garnered millions of views. He himself has already been very impactful on the charts. So with him teaming up with Natanel Cano for the track Geiza, you already knew it was going to be a successful track on the charts. And guess what? It definitely is. So with that being stated, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about the overseas effect on American artists? And more specifically,

if you're more of the Latin music consumer, what is your favorite track currently from Mexico?
