Blessd

Blessd came up fast out of Medellín, part of a wave of young Colombian singers who turned reggaeton into something more melodic and heartfelt. He was still a teenager when he started releasing music, and by 2021 the single "Medallo" had made him one of the city's best-known new voices, a song that doubles as a love letter to where he's from. His records keep that mix of romance, street pride, and smooth hooks that has carried Latin urban music far beyond Colombia.

Hecho en Medellín (2021). This debut captures why people latched onto him so quickly: "Medallo" is here, the track that became an anthem for his hometown and introduced his melodic take on reggaeton to the rest of the world. It's the clearest first listen for anyone new to him.
