About Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny is the Puerto Rican rapper Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. His early releases helped bring Spanish-language Latin trap and reggaeton to a wider audience, with a deep vocal delivery and frequent collaborations. His first solo album, X 100pre, appeared in 2018, followed by YHLQMDLG in 2020. Between them, Oasis was a jointly credited album with J Balvin. That distinction keeps his solo career separate from guest appearances and shared projects with other performers.
