Jhayco has called on a rising Regional Mexican star for a (ex-)special collaboration.

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican rapper and singer has joined voices with Peso Pluma to release the new single “Ex-Special.”

The single is led by an electric guitar in the circle-of-fifths, a common strumming style for vintage Mexican music, or corridos for that matter, that’s normally performed acoustically.

Then there’s an EDM-leaning transition into a reggaetón thump that instantly tugs at your hip; this, coupled with atmospheric coos flowing by, adds minimal euphoric effects.

Jhayco and Peso Pluma exchange gauzy verses as they continue to position themselves as two of Latin music’s most exhilarating acts.

Formerly known as Jhay Cortez, the songwriter/producer has made a name for himself as one of the most sought-after artists of the Latin trap and reggaetón landscape — yet his willingness to experiment with Latin indie and electronic dance set him apart early on.

Jhayco co-directed the songs’s music video with Milkman. He also co-produced the track with Elikai.

Jhayco is also poised to go on a U.S. tour, Vida Rockstar, which kicks off September 28th.
