Embarking on a mission to showcase the enduring influence of hip hop on today's youth and armed with a wealth of thought-provoking content, prodigious hip hop artist Trueno ushers in a new era with the release of his latest single, "DUBAI." Blending elements of classic reggaeton and intricate wordplay, Trueno unveils an experimental body of work that is both unique and authentic to his artistic essence. In this endeavor, he joins forces with Moroccan-Spanish rapper Beny Jr. "DUBAI" is now available for streaming on all major digital platforms.

With "DUBAI," Trueno takes a fresh approach to alluring and captivating reggaeton melodies, demonstrating his undeniable ability to adapt and thrive within any genre, while staying true to his signature sound. The track showcases the Argentine trailblazer's exploration of romanticism, layered over haunting synthesizers and pronounced drum elements. "DUBAI" skillfully highlights the powerful attributes of both artists, striking a perfect balance between Trueno's innate songwriting prowess and Beny Jr.'s expressive vocalization.

The release of "DUBAI" marks a significant moment in Trueno's rapidly evolving career as he concludes the final chapter of his groundbreaking and historic album, BIEN O MAL. It follows a successful and unforgettable tour through Mexico, where Trueno made history with electrifying performances at renowned festivals such as Tecate Pal' Norte and Festival Ceremonia. Additionally, he received his first-ever Latin GRAMMY® Awards nomination in 2022 in the "Best Rap/Hip Hop Song" category for his hit single "DANCE CRIP." Trueno continues to achieve significant milestones, including an in-depth interview with Rolling Stone for their 2022 Musicians on Musicians feature and a revolutionary Tiny Desk (Home) Concert that showcased Argentina's vibrant music culture to the world.

Most recently, Trueno emerged as the top winner at the 2023 Premios Gardel in Buenos Aires, where he took home four prestigious awards, including the coveted "Gardel de Oro" for his acclaimed album, BIEN O MAL. He received recognition in categories such as "Album of the Year" and "Best Urban Music Album" for BIEN O MAL, "Record of the Year" for the collaboration "ARGENTINA" with Nathy Peluso, and "Best Urban Music Collaboration" for the track "Sudaka" featuring Dante Spinetta.
