7 Música Mexicana Artists Who Experimented With Reggaetón Music 

Who would’ve ever thought — a Regional Mexican artist doing reggaetón music? But it works.

Earlier this year, Billboard editors predicted “corridos experimentation” as a Latin music trend in 2025. Yes, in recent years, we’ve seen Latin urban stars like Karol G, Bad Bunny and Arcángel famously dabble in regional Mexican music, but lately, the papers have fearlessly switched.

Now, more and more Música Mexicana artists are experimenting with the genre and some have created such a buzz, earning their way into the Billboard charts.

In Spring 2023, emerging singer-songwriter Yng Lvcas scored his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated April 1), thanks to his breakthrough single “La Bebe,” remixed with fellow rising Mexican artist Peso Pluma — it was the first time Peso dropped a reggaetón tune. The remix eventually climbed up to No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart; it topped out at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and hit No. 1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay tally in June of that year.

Since, Peso became known as one of the first corridos stars to venture into the Latin urban realm, collaborating with El Alfa, Ryan Castro, and Anitta, to name a few.

Not to be confused with “Reggaetón Mexa” (genre that emerged from Mexico’s urban scene) — artists such as El Malilla, Bellakath, Dani Flow, and Yng Lvcas — this list highlights the hottest Regional Mexican stars of today who are for the most traditional with their music but not afraid to experiment with a hard-hitting perreo sound.
