Snow Tha Product is preparing for a global takeover…
The 36-year-old Mexican American rapper has entered a global agreement with Yvette Medina, the executive manager and head of Latin at YMU, an international artist management company.
Bolstered by her relentless and rapid-fire vocal delivery, Snow Tha Product (real name Claudia Feliciano) is quickly establishing herself as a force in hip-hop. As a bilingual artist, she has collaborated with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, Natanael Cano and Santa Fe Klan among others.
“It has been hugely rewarding to be a part of this journey alongside Snow and continue to represent women in music and our culture,” Medina said in a statement shared with Billboard. “Snow is a fiercely independent trailblazer whose work ethic is unmatched, and together we are going to continue to amplify what she has achieved while expanding her global presence.”
To date, the San José, Calif.-born artist has released the EP Half Way There…Pt. 1 (2016) and full-length album To Anywhere (2022), and has achieved the top 20 of Billboard‘s Latin Digital Songs Sales chart. Her viral “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 39” also landed her on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. The song earned her a Latin Grammy nomination.
She has also demonstrated her acting skills in the Netflix series Queen of the South as the character Lil’ T.
In November 2023, Snow wrapped up a 32-city U.S. headline tour at the Palladium in Los Angeles and was also an opening act for Santa Fe Klan’s national tour. Last August, the wordsmith was named by Billboard Latin and Español as one of the most essential Spanish-speaking rappers of all time.
Snow Tha Product is currently nominated for New Artist Female at 2024’s Premio Lo Nuestro which will air Feb. 22 via Univision.
The Regional Mexican band headlined the halftime show at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City during the Monday Night Football game in which the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 38-10.
The return of the NFL to Mexico featured a week-long celebration of pride that transcends borders, as well as the nexus between Mexican culture and American football with activities focused on art, fashion, music, and youth football.
As part of the League’s “Por la Cultura” campaign, music has been a focal point of the NFL’s marketing strategy, kicking off the season with a J Balvin concert and releasing a Por La Cultura mixtape featuring Yandel, El Alfa, and Snow Tha Product among others. Latino football fans are the fastest-growing demographic for the NFL and an important audience the league is hoping to grow in the coming years.
Grupo Firme, formed in the northern Mexican city of Tijuana, arrived at the so-called “Coloso de Santa Úrsula,” as the Estadio Azteca is also known, after a massively successful touring year, including their concert at the Zócalo of Mexico City last September that garnered an audience of 280,000, a series of presentations at Foro Sol, a major arena also located in the Mexican capital, and their main stage set at Coachella.
“This is an achievement in our career, we are going ‘at a steady pace’ as we say it. The truth is that we were not thinking to be part of an event as important as this beautiful night,” singer Eduin Caz toldBillboard Español. “It will be something historic, a different audience will know us. They will listen to us and we will give our best.”
The Latin Grammy and Latin Billboard Music Awards winners performed their hits “Ya supérame”, “El amor no fue para mi” and “Gracias,” for the 78,000 NFL fans in attendance.
This was the first Monday Night Football game played in Mexico City since 2019, after a forced two-year break because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the musicians, the presence of the NFL in Mexico is a good opportunity for two communities to honor sports and music without language barriers.
“Something that we have realized and that we are very grateful for is that the public and the people who listen to Grupo Firme are increasingly bicultural. We have already seen people who do not speak Spanish singing at our concerts. It is a blessing for us that this is growing and that opens the door to be at events like this”, said singer Jhonny Caz.
Mexican singer Sofía Reyes was chosen this year to perform the national anthem of Mexico. She electrified the stadium as soon as she started singing the first verse.
“For me it is an honor to sing the Mexican national anthem and above all to sing it here in my country at an event like this. It’s crazy! I am happy and very grateful,” Reyes told Billboard Español prior to the game.
On the American side, the Mexican-American singer Marisol Hernández “La Marisoul”, from the musical group La Santa Cecilia, performed The Star-Spangled Banner, the United States National Anthem.
“This is my first time at the Estadio Azteca, singing the national anthem of the United States. I feel that my two worlds, my two countries, come together in a beautiful way and I can’t hide my feelings from this experience. For years at La Santa Cecilia we have tried to build musical bridges and I feel that tonight is a great example of this,” said Hernández.
The match in Mexico was the fifth and final of the 2022 International Series, which included three games in London and, for the first time, a game in Munich, Germany. Musical performances from the game at Estadio Azteca on November 21st can be viewed on Mundo NFL’s YouTube channel.
The 35-year-old Mexican-American rapper has released her highly-anticipated second studio album To Anywhere.
Released six years after the debut album, the new studio effort is packed with 14 tracks, an intro and one interlude.
The album, which should be listened from top to bottom, is an autobiographical narrative where Snow details her journey in the industry as a Mexican-American rapper.
“Now that I’m growing up I realize I do deserve to be happy. And even though things are hard sometimes, you need to do what really makes you happy,” she says in the intro, setting up the vibe of the album.
While Snow raps about her hustle and struggles, one thing is clear: Snow is, artistically and personally, as confident as ever. And she isn’t holding back either, calling out those who wanted to see her fail.
Sonically, To Anywhere is a collection of styles, with Snow embracing reggaetón, hip-hop and trap, to name a few.
Snow also brings in special guest stars like Vf7, Santa Fe Klan, Lauren Jauregui and Juicy J to join her on a few songs.
Snow Tha Product is harmonizing with a special guest…
The 35-year-old Mexican American rapper and singer has joined voices with former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui to release the new single “Piña.”
Known for her hard-hitting, fast-paced rap anthems, Snow Tha Product slows things down on the new track.
The more rhythmic-leaning and bouncy track is her first collaboration with Jauregui.
“I’ve proven that I’m a really good rapper, now I wanna push myself to do other things and excel and challenge myself,” Snow previously told Billboard. “That song is fire. It’s sexy, it’s awesome and it’s exactly what two Latinas needed to do.”
The 42-year-old Mexican American recording artist and record producer has unveiled his very own series called Desde Abajo, which will be available on Amazon Music’s app and Twitch channel.
Focusing on culture and its influence on the music industry in Los Angeles, the series will include the Rancho Humilde founder interviewing special guests like Fuerza Regida, Snow Tha Product, AB Quintanilla, Deorro, among others.
The first episode is already out with new episodes airing at 9:00 p.m. ET every other Wednesday until October 12.
Snow Tha Product is tackling hypocrisy in her new song…
The 34-year-old Mexican-American bilingual rapper, whose real name is Claudia Alexandra Madriz Meza, has released her latest single “Que Oso.”
In the song, Snow Tha Product examines all the dynamics of her Mexican-American family members, from gossiping uncles to judgmental grandparents, before declaring after each revelation “qué oso,” a Spanish phrase that roughly translates to “how embarassing.”
In the video directed by George Orozco, she appears turns a cookout into a straight-up roast, pointing out the hypocrisy of people who judge others despite not being perfect themselves.
The 49-year-old Puerto Rican rapper has joined forces with Goyo of Chocquibtown, and newcomer Chesca for the upcoming “Urban Divas United” virtual concert in celebration of Women’s History Month.
The three powerhouses, along with an all-female lineup, are teaming up to honor the Latin women leading the urban genre in a male-dominated industry.
“I am extremely grateful to be part of this project that will bring us all together through music, and for me personally it is a great pride to be the one who started [this movement] with a microphone in hand,” reggaeton veteran Ivy Queen said in a statement.
“Urban Divas United,” presented by Neutrogena and Conciencia Collective, will also raise awareness about the current difficulties affecting women and our community, providing educational resources to viewers.
The all-female lineup includes Snow Tha Product, Natalia Jimenez, and Nesi, with more artists to be announced soon.
The free virtual concert will take place from Downtown Miami at 7:00 pm ET on Saturday, April 10.
In addition, fans can purchase a VIP pass for exclusive backstage access.

Sitting on a cube chair and occasionally taking swigs from a champagne bottle in the video, Snow Tha Product (real name Claudia Alexandra Madriz Meza) celebrates handling her own financial and musical business as an independent artist. “I been on my sh–, like I gotta get rich/ So I’m all in my bag, like I gotta get chips/ Like I haven’t been runnin’ it up, handlin’ biz/ Like I haven’t been rackin’ it up for some odd years,” she raps in the self-made production.
Snow Tha Product promised her fans that she’ll keep up her candid braggadocious efforts if they keep commenting, which could potentially score spots on her upcoming album Vale Madre.

The 29-year-old Mexican-American hip hop recording artist’s politically driven track “Despierta (Wake Up)” has been named the official theme song for Voto Latino‘s new campaign “27 million,” which is aimed at Latino voters.
Along with influencers and activists including Dolores Huerta, Snow, whose real name is Claudia Feliciano, appears in the organization’s new video, which premiered on Friday (September 23), urging the 27 million eligible Latino voters in the U.S. to get registered and make their vote count in the upcoming November elections.
“For me, it’s important to be part of this campaign because young people need to wake up and worry about the future of our country,” Snow told Billboard exclusively. “People have been messing it up for years and it’s time for young people to fix it. Vote now, don’t complain later.”
Bolstered by her relentless and rapid-fire vocal delivery, Snow Tha Product (real name Claudia Feliciano) is quickly establishing herself as a force in hip-hop. As a bilingual artist, she has collaborated with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, Natanael Cano and Santa Fe Klan among others.
