Peso Pluma: Éxodo [Double P]
Génesis earned Peso Pluma his first-ever Grammy Award and several other record-breaking moments, but it also raised eyebrows about some of the lyrical subject matter, which prompted alleged death threats from a cartel. With Éxodo, his double album follow-up, the Mexican corridos tumbados star has crafted “a direct response to the negative press” to explain “why we do what we do, and why we sing what we do,” he told Rolling Stone. To show off his range, Peso Pluma uses the first disc of Éxodo to further explore the regional Mexican music and corridos tumbados for which he’s known, and the second disc to tap into Latin trap and reggaeton with features from Cardi B, Anitta, Quavo, and others.
