J Balvin surprises fans with ‘MIXTEIP’, blending nostalgic reggaeton with global sounds. Out now on all platforms.
J Balvin returns with a bold statement through the surprise release of MIXTEIP, a 10-song collection that fuses his reggaeton origins with fresh genre explorations. Available now on all streaming platforms, the album showcases Balvin’s creative risk-taking while honoring Latin music’s deep-rooted legacy.
The centerpiece track, “Zun Zun,” featuring Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavarez, leans into Balvin’s classic reggaeton instincts with updated flair. Its throwback-inspired music video—shot on a 1993 camera—premiered across major MTV platforms and lit up the Paramount Times Square screens.
Another highlight comes with “Misterio,” where Balvin bridges reggaeton and salsa with an emotional feature from Gilberto Santa Rosa. His narration—“Hermano, el amor no es siempre lo que parece. A veces, hay que vivir, y a veces hay que sufrir”—offers a poetic segue into the track’s sonic shift. 
Elsewhere, “Bruz Wein” plays with trap-R&B atmospheres, while “Uuu” sees Balvin trade verses with UK rap star Stormzy over a gritty drill production. Songs like “PQBL” and “No Te Olvido” lean into romantic territory, while “St Tropez” turns up the energy with pulse-driving trap beats.
“MIXTEIP” closes with “¿Dónde Está Jose?”, reaffirming that this project is not just a collection of songs, but a creative reset. J Balvin’s fusion of past, present, and future cements his place as a global genre-shifter.
