EpIsode 111: Bad Bunny’s YHLQMDLG
Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated sophomore album is here - finally. After the wild critical and commercial success of X100PRE, everyone’s eyes were on our baddest conejo to see if he could really follow up what many of us saw as a masterpiece. Does YHLQMDLG live up to the hype? Are all twenty tracks really, actually palos??? We get into what el conejo did right, all the little easter eggs and suprises, and where he left us disappointed. If YHLQMDLG clearly tells us something though, it’s that Bad Bunny tiene un compromiso y amor inmenso for his isla - y que, sin duda, hace lo que le da la fucking gana.
Featuring music by Bad Bunny, ft. Daddy Yankee, Yaviah, Nesi, Jowell y Randy, Ñengo Flow, Arcángel, Kendo Kaponi, Duki, and Pablo Chill-E.
