Karol G, Feid, J Balvin, Maluma Link Up for Ultimate Colombia Reggaeton Smash
Name this crew, “the Colombia Reggaeton All-Stars.” On Thursday, Karol G, Feid, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro, and Blessd joined forces for a catchy victory lap for Colombia’s thriving reggaeton scene, titled “+57.” The song title is a reference to the country’s area code.
The sexy perreo hears all six Colombianos singing about a baddie from Medellín that’s just too hard to contain. The track was co-written by Keityn and his 18-year-old protégé DFZM, and produced by none other than Ovy on the Drums.

Shared to Karol G’s YouTube page, the behind-the-scenes-style music video captures the all-stars linkup at a Los Angeles studio as they sip from red cups, laugh through lyrical changes, and sing through the song’s lyrics.
The video includes clips of Karol supporting her boyfriend Feid from within the booth, and also sharing a kiss. Maluma then takes his spot behind the microphone rocking a baseball cap. Castro and Blessd — who’ve been celebrating Colombia on their joint tour this year — then take turns exchanging verses.
“At the disco she is never sitting/For good luck, she wears a yellow thong,” sings Karol G. “Groomed in case someone catches her/Sucking on candy, that baddie is hot.”
Balvin shared several more behind-the-scenes photos from the recording on Instagram, as he joked in the caption: “Do you know who your favorite bartender is? The one who made you talk in a messy way, hahahahha.”
Added Maluma on his own Instagram: “What a pleasure to collaborate with all these bosses LONG LIVE MEDALLO, December is here to listen to this song everywhere!!”
