Anuel AA revela que lanzará un álbum de corridos, junto con ‘RHLM 2’: Todo lo que sabemos

Puerto Rican trap artist Anuel AA has announced plans to drop two new albums before the close of 2024, marking a significant return after a four-year studio album hiatus. The first is RHLM 2, a direct follow-up to his 2018 debut album Real Hasta La Muerte, which he describes as a heartfelt return to his musical origins blending trap and reggaeton.

During an exclusive event at Billboard Latin Music Week on October 20, Anuel shared insights into his creative process and personal priorities that influenced his recent work. He explained that having spent the past few years focusing more on his family and personal life, this new project signifies both a reflection on his decade-long career and a rekindling of the musical style that originally defined him.

RHLM 2 is expected to release in November 2024, featuring a selection of tracks that delve into themes familiar to Anuel’s audience — from heartbreak to street narratives. Ahead of the album launch, he previewed four songs, each showcasing different facets of his signature sound. Among these is a melancholic reggaeton ballad exploring lost love, a gritty trap anthem aimed at his core fanbase, a commercially styled reggaeton piece produced by Ovy on the Drums, and a provocative collaboration with rising artist De La Rose.

In an unexpected artistic pivot, Anuel also revealed he is preparing a separate album devoted entirely to corridos, a traditional Mexican narrative music style. Expressing a deep admiration for the genre’s raw and unprocessed vocal delivery, he indicated this project serves as a tribute to Mexican music culture. The corridos album is shaped by his recent immersion in the style, which contrasts with his typical trap and reggaeton roots. One of the corridos tracks, produced by emerging Mexican producer Alex Torres, is described as a personal and emotional offering.

This dual-release strategy highlights Anuel’s versatility and willingness to explore new musical landscapes while honoring his established fanbase. It also reflects broader trends within Latin music, where genre blending and cross-cultural experimentation are increasingly common.

Anuel’s announcements come amid his nominations for the upcoming 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he is a two-time finalist. The awards ceremony, scheduled for October 22 at Miami’s James L. Knight Center, will be broadcast live on Telemundo and Peacock. This event celebrates top Latin artists, with notable contenders like Peso Pluma, Tito Double P, and Karol G leading the nominations.

The 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards will also honor industry veterans and influential figures with special recognitions, underscoring the evolving landscape of Latin music. As Anuel prepares to re-enter the scene with these two distinctive projects, his work is positioned to contribute to the ongoing dialogue between tradition and innovation within the genre.

While further details on the corridos album remain limited, Anuel’s commitment to this new direction signals a noteworthy expansion in his artistic identity. Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely as both albums approach release, eager to experience how he balances his foundational trap and reggaeton style with the storytelling vibrancy of corridos.
