Mexican hip-hop is on the rise — and if Santa Fe Klan’s Coachella run is any indication, it’s time we pay attention.
Those present for Peso Pluma‘s Friday night set got acquainted with Santa Fe Klan when the two MCs banded together for a fiery duet of their 2024 track with Argentine Mc Duki, titled “No Son Klle.” Sporting baggy Louis Vuitton streetwear and his signature bandana on his forehead, Santa Fe Klan paid respects to West Coast hip-hop by C-walking across the Coachella stage as he and Peso swapped verses.

With over 100,000 festival goers in the desert for this weekend’s debut, Day One was a stacked opening, with Lana Del Rey bringing out Billie Eilish for a duet, Shakira shocking the crowd and announcing a world tour during Bizarrap’s set, and Peso Pluma putting corridos on the world stage.

If you ask Peso Pluma what he likes most about his compa Jasiel Nuñez, he’ll tell you it’s his pen. He’ll go off about the musician’s ability to express himself about love and life through complex metaphors and visual storytelling. It’s probably why he signed Nuñez to Double P Records.
“The way he writes and shares his feelings through the paper is very special. He has so many lyrics and anecdotes,” Peso says. “I listen to what he does every day and I know he...

On Wednesday night, Peso Pluma headlined a night of music that careened from música mexicana to urbano to Norteño-inflected folk at Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase, causing lines around the block. The next evening, the showcase pivoted in another, no less potent, direction, mixing up hip-hop with innovative sounds from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, and more.
Preacher, a.k.a. Keite Young, came out and showed he wasn’t messing around. Flanked by a five-piece band and 10-member choir, the singer launched right into a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.

It was 4 a.m. when Carlos Contreras showed up at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas — more than 16 hours before cover-star Peso Pluma took the stage for Rolling Stone’s second annual Future of Music SXSW showcase.
The avid concert-goer arrived early to make sure he was the first in line, and it paid off. By midday, the line for the showcase was several blocks long; in the evening, it reached an estimated four-mile length. Not only did Contreras’ dedication help him snag a great view of the performance, he also managed to meet Peso.

From Génesis to Éxodo.
Peso Pluma graced the cover of Rolling Stone‘s Future of Music issue on Monday — and in it, he announced that he will follow his breakthrough record Génesis with a new album this summer, titled Éxodo.
In the interview, Peso shared that Éxodo will be “more of a direct response to the negative press that seems to surround him.”
“[On Génesis] people already saw the good side, the superhero side. But I think this year, they’re going to know a darker side,” he said. “There’s...

The Streets Leading up to the Lab Studios, a recording complex in Miami’s lush Coconut Grove neighborhood, are full of bright, iridescent peacocks. Peso Pluma has set up a weeklong writing camp here in late January to work on his new album, which, he reveals later, is called Éxodo and will be out this summer. It’s almost too fitting that a bunch of decadent birds with stately, metallic feathers are sashaying down the pavement.
