“It means a lot to me to be able to support a new generation of artists because when I started, I did not feel that support in Colombia and I don’t want them to go through that. It was other international artists and my loyal fans, who gave me that boost I needed to continue to thrive. I don’t want history to repeat itself, I want to see them shine, because there is a lot of talent in Colombia that deserve to be stars and fulfill their dreams, as much as I have been able to,» Maluma expressed.

The “Dirty Boy” has returned with «LNEM (GATA)», a song written among friends that talks about their experiences amidst the urban nightlife scene and all of its trappings, especially women. Maluma creates this song alongside Blessd, a new talent with whom he collaborates on “Imposible” Remix, a song that has been in the top 50 of Spotify Colombia for 3 months. They are joined by Kapla and Miky, a new urban duo who individually have been in the industry for more than 10 years and are known for their important contribution to the genre as producers and songwriters. . . Miky La Sensa, has written with Maluma’s on songs like “El Perdedor”, “Felices Los Cuatro” and “Hawaii”; and Philip Ariaz, composer, artist and producer. «L.N.E.M (GATA)» was produced by the Rude Boyz who have worked with Maluma since the beginning of his career.
