"Residente: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 49" on YouTube |
"Residente: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 49" is a song by Argentine producer Bizarrap and Puerto Rican singer Residente, released on 2 March 2022 through Dale Play. Written solely by the latter and produced by the former, it was released as a diss track directed to Colombian singer J Balvin, where Residente claims that he is an industry plant and a racist. It peaked atop the Argentina Hot 100.
After Bizarrap released his 48th Music Session with Argentine rapper Tiago PZK, he announced at the beginning of February 2022 that he would release another session with Residente, set for March of the same year. [1] Residente also encouraged his fans to watch its accompanying music video; he stated that for every view it got, donations would go to the mental health organizations Silence the Shame and Taller Salud. [2]
Running at a length of eight minutes and 39 seconds, it is Bizarrap's longest music session. [3] The song, which is a Latin hip hop song, and its accompanying music video is split in three chapters, and is a diss track to Colombian singer J Balvin, released during both singers' feud where it commenced with Balvin boycotting the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards and Residente responding after. [4] Its video attained over two million views within its first hour. [5]
Its first chapter entitled "En Un Lugar de la Mancha" (In Place of the Spot), Residente states that he feels unsettled as he watches over the Latin urban genre and compares himself to "a crocodile who creeps out of the Nile River." [6] Residente describes Balvin's songs as hot dogs, relating them to junk food; [4] it was previously said by the former where he metaphorically states that "everyone likes [hot dogs], but when people want to eat well they go to a restaurant, which are the ones that win the Michelin stars." [7]
In the second chapter, "Mis Armas Son las Letras" (My Weapons Are the Lyrics), he crticizes singers who only lip sync and the large amount of songwriters for a two-minute song. [8] For the latter, Residente claims that Balvin barely contributed to any songwriting for his album Colores (2019), and that he only wrote " Amarillo". [4] He also sees the Colombian singer as an industry plant, lyrically stating that although he is famous, he doesn't consider him a musical artist. [4]
In the third chapter titled "El Caballero de los Espejos" (The Knight of Mirrors), Residente directly mentions Balvin; he criticizes the Colombian singer (whilist calling him a bobolon) for his appearances on the soundtrack for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run and the compilation Pokémon 25: The Album, [9] the release of the " Perra" music video which featured two black women in dog chains, [10] and Balvin's controversial acceptance of the award for Best Afro-Latino Artist of the Year, while also referring him as the " Logan Paul of reggaeton". [5] Throughout the chapter, he mentions other reggaeton artists who he thinks Balvin "erases from reggaeton history"; Myke Towers, Sech, ChocQuibTown, Rafa Pabön, Don Omar, Ozuna, Arcángel, and Tego Calderón are mentioned in order. [8] Referring to Balvin's past multi-colored hair, he also says that the color brown is not seen and calls him a racist. [4]
