Peso Pluma Breaks Down His Favorite Tracks From His New Album 'Exodo'

Hi guys, I'm Peso Pluma and we're going to talk about my new album Mexico with variety. It's very different Exoder from Genesis, you know, I think I reached some maturity in, in my vocals and I think from every day and from every artist that I collaborate with, I learned something new from every one of them. And try not I I just try to grab those little things, those inspirations from the studio and just bringing it to my music. One song can be done in 5 minutes, one song can be done in two hours, depending on how we are feeling. For example, Solicitado, I think it's a very special song from the album because its own name says what am I talking about? No, I think it's the requested one. From having nothing from to have it all. Everything changes in your life? No, and I think in my life everything changed and I wanted people to see both sides of the coins. And why am I acting the way I am now? It's just being requested by everyone now that things are going very well, now that I'm a famous person. Now everybody looks up to you or bigger artists want to collaborate with you. When when Back in the day it wasn't nothing like that. I'm just giving a response of why am I acting like that This song has a different process. But when I'm doing regional and Mexican music, I always have my group with me so I can hear their opinions about their instruments of what they do better, you know, and, and I think that's very comfortable for me being in the studio with them and, and just having their opinion to make the song better. Right now we are a group of nine members. It started with my compadre Lalito, who's a friend of mine from from years ago. And then I met Parka, who is not the musically director from the band. And from there we all three decided who was going to be in the project and who was not. And the real important thing here is that in in every rehearsal, in every stage we perform, we feel very familiar. And this feels like a family, not like a band or a group. You know, I think that's the most important part of the group, that we all have chemistry and we all get together. If you are used to here to Peso Pluma songs and the Mexican music, I always use Tallolochi in this song. We replaced it with an actual electric bass and the ones who knows about this kind of instruments is going to like a lot. This material sound. It was just vibing in the studio. I remember I was with Neto, who's my producer and Grammy winner too, from Genesis. We were in the studio vibing and we were trying to master and mix Rosa Pastel from Genesis, which was Haciel Nunez collaboration in that album, and we were trying to make a different. I was visualizing this kind of angels in the back with that song because it's a real beautiful melody. And I was kind of hearing this backgrounds like in my head, not in the song. And I was just telling Neto, I hear this, how how can we make it happen? And and we started playing with different effects. We started playing with different things in the computer and we did that actual sound and from there everybody wanted to do it and everybody wanted to put that on their music. I think we trademarked that and and that's how that's our trademark. That's Peso Pluma trademark and we should be proud of other upcoming artists doing it as well. For example, there's a lot of songs that were shown to me, like the Cardi B1 that was shown to me from her producers and I love the song. Whatever is happening in the industry right now, it was going to be the perfect mix of of both worlds and Cardi is just a lovely person who gave me that opportunity and I'm really grateful. It was just a vibe. Her producers sent me the song and I loved it and I even love more than the fact that she was singing in Spanish because it was it was going to be easier for me. It is one of my favorite songs from the album. From the whole album. I would put on my top three. So Hollywood is a song written by Stefan Plazola. I know him since we were 18 years old. Now he he just signed to my label. He's doing real great things. He's working on his album. This is a cover actually. It's actually the first cover that I put in one of my albums. We put our Peso Pluma sound in it, we did our own production and we just make it 1000 times better from from what it was. And the lyrics talk by talk by itself. We are talking about reality and how our lives went through this process of being famous and getting money and getting whatever we wanted since we were kids and how we looked at it. Now I it's a It's a very special song 'cause it was one of the last ones to be on the album. This song is just so special for me. It has this intro by Ric Flair from the Lizard Shoes. Huh. How about 700 bucks? Did a Rolex watch Ric Flair, who was a big inspiration for me when I was growing up to watching the WWE and, and just the the drip that he had and all these luxury things like that he showed us. I just put him in the song because that's what the song talks about. You know that now that I'm wearing diamonds, everybody wants to wear diamonds. Everybody's trying to copy what what the project is looking like. And no matter what they copy or how much they copied, they're never going to be Peso Pluma. Genesis was the beginning of everything, the beginning of a new era in Mexican music. It was just a monster, a big monster that came into the global charts and took over every general and, and I think last year Genesis marked A before and after. This is a total revolution. This is Mexican revolutionary. This is the next step. I think Exodo is opening doors. That's why it's name we are opening doors for Mexican music and and and upcoming artists to be even more global than Mexican music is right now.
