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.

Coachella 2024 kicked off Friday, and festival season is officially upon us once again.

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 Euphoria core influenced Coachella’s fashion in years past, 2024 has now gone cosmic cowboy as the silver boots and cowboy hats took over the festival grounds.

Over four nights in March, Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase at SXSW brought the stars of tomorrow to Austin’s famed Acl Live at the Moody Theater. Each night, the 2,750-seat venue was packed — not just inside, but outside, too. Ahead of the second night’s bill, which was topped by música mexicana superstar Peso Pluma, lines of fans stretched for blocks, including, reportedly, the longest line in SXSW history. (One fan got in line at 4 a.m. for a show that didn’t start for more than...

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...

As the cover star of this year’s Future of Music issue, Peso Pluma helped Rolling Stone curate its Future 25 — a comprehensive list of artists who have us and him excited about what’s to come in music. In a new interview, the superstar breaks down why he chose artists such as Jasiel Nuñez, Ryan Castro, and Yovngchimi as his artists to keep an eye on.

“The future of music is very exciting because there are so many young artists that haven’t come to light yet,” he tells Rolling Stone.

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.

A lot has changed since Hassan Laija was just a high schooler in central Texas. Now better known as Peso Pluma, the 24-year-old superstar of música Mexicana (and recent Rolling Stone cover star) is a certified international phenomenon, one with the power to get people to line up as early as 4 a.m. and wait in lines that wrap several city blocks just for the chance of seeing him last night at Rolling Stone’s second annual Future of Music SXSW showcase.

Peso might’ve been the main draw, but...

Peso Pluma has canceled three scheduled performances in Latin America. The musician planned to make stops in Perú, Paraguay, and Chile over the next week but has backed out of those appearances, citing “personal reasons.”

Two headlining performances — at Parque Olímpico in Asunción, Paraguay, on Feb. 24 and Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, on March 2 — have been scrapped in addition to Peso Pluma’s appearance at Viña del Mar.

The event, scheduled for March 1, would have marked his first appearance at the international music festival. When the festival announced him as a performer,...

Jhayco is following the success of his single “Holanda” with another anthem. On Thurday, the Puerto Rican reggaeton star tapped Peso Pluma for his new single “Ex-Special.”

“I’m excited to put out this record with my bro Peso Pluma. I’m not a stranger to collaborating with Mexican artists,” Jhayco tells Rolling Stone. “I love the culture and music. Creating this hit following up the current global success of ‘Holanda’ is a blessing.”

Jhayco is right: The musician last hopped on a remix of sad corridos singer Ivan Cornejo...
