Bronx-born artist Notorio718 continues to redefine international sound with his latest single dropping November 21st, “Derroche.” Now based in Stockholm, Sweden, the bilingual rapper and singer channels more than 20 years of musical evolution into a record that blends raw energy with heartfelt expression. The track, produced by Teflon Vest and featuring J. Ghost, merges Spanish reggaeton with English R&B, capturing a cross-cultural synergy that feels both global and deeply personal. “Derroche” — which translates to “to splurge” or “to stunt” — embodies confidence and celebration, yet behind its vibrant rhythm lies a story of resilience. For Notorio718, this song represents light after darkness, a creative breakthrough following one of the toughest chapters of his life.
Under his label Mundo Notorio Music / CorpNation, Notorio718 continues to expand his reach while staying true to his Bronx roots. His journey from English hip hop to Spanish reggaeton opened doors to new audiences and deeper artistic expression. Memorable collaborations with legends like Big Noyd (of Mobb Deep) and Raxiel El León highlight his credibility and versatility in both genres. With “Derroche” marking a powerful comeback, Notorio718 is now gearing up for a series of performances and releases in 2026. The single not only showcases his lyrical maturity, especially in lines like “Lo siento, mamá… pero el dinero y la fama cambió la tasa y la lealtad tá cara” — but also affirms his mission to connect people across cultures through rhythm, honesty, and lived experience.
