Puerto Rican singer and rapper Jay Wheeler has released his debut studio album "TRAPPii," treating fans to 12 tracks packed with bass-heavy trap beats and Wheeler's smooth vocals.
Still a newcomer at only 25, Wheeler first caught attention in 2020 with the charts hits "La Curadera" and "Mujeriego." His charismatic flow and penchant for melodic yet punchy trap songs marked him as an artist to watch.
"TRAPPii" wastes no time making that potential a full-fledged reality. Lead single "Espina" sets the tone with an intoxicating chorus that's impossible not to sing along to. Other standouts include "Traumada" featuring an seductive Rauw Alejandro and the Mariah-sampling "Que Maldición."
Throughout, Wheeler adeptly shifts between melodic crooning and rapid Spanish rap verses, keeping listeners engaged through constant variety. Meanwhile, stellar trap-influenced productions fromFormat: and others provide enthralling sonic backdrops.
Guest spots from Feid, Bryant Myers and more only strengthen the cohesiveness of Wheeler's inaugural studio roll-out. It's clear he arrived in the game with an already refined musical vision.
With "TRAPPii," Jay Wheeler cements his place among Latin trap's vibrant new wave. The immediacy of these radio-ready bangers will surely gain him many more hits and fans internationally. It's a massively promising debut from an artist that is only just getting started.
