Resurrection remix how to root

J Balvin spoke about working with Beyoncé on the remix of “Mi Gente” and solidifying reggaeton’s spot in the pop music landscape during an interview with Ebro Darden on Beats 1. “I just work with people that I love and respect, that inspire me to be a better person, a better artist,” Balvin said. He added of the “Mi Gente” remix, “I think it was a really beautiful cultural move. People see me with the queen, like, if she’s working with him it’s because he’s for real.

The lilt in the voice of the 21-year-old Notorious B.I.G. as he detailed quality of life improvements that new fame allowed — a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis, a nice television and a leather couch to watch it on, bottles of champagne at the ready — is perfectly infectious.
