00:02
Yeah, tell me because I look uh what's on my paper from me too
00:11
TV.
00:11
It's listening to my new album with out now.
00:16
My flow is just like pure reggaeton.
00:18
I feel that it's not that it's lost but there's a lot of people
00:22
doing different stuff.
00:23
So I feel like I, I'm a, I love reggaeton.
00:26
I'm a huge fan of reggaeton and I feel like I wanna keep that
00:29
going and I wanna keep it through generation and I feel like
00:32
if I do it myself, it's like uh adding a little bit to, to the
00:36
history of reggaeton.
00:37
So I wanna keep doing it and I feel like I do it because I love
00:41
it.
00:41
So I feel that that's what's most special about my music that
00:44
it comes from my heart not being because it's romantic or not
00:47
it's not talking about that, but only because I do it because
00:50
I love it.
00:50
And I feel like that's the difference between me and a, a lot
00:52
of other people that do reggaeton that they do it because they
00:56
know that reggaeton is trendy and that reggaeton looks good
00:59
around the world and everyone loves it.
01:01
But I feel like I just do it because I love it and I do it for the
01:03
like for the sake of reggaeton per se.
01:05
So, so, yeah, I feel like I did this album because I think I'm
01:18
on a point in my career that uh it's super crucial uh my music
01:23
I feel that a lot of people love my reggaeton.
01:26
And I've have, I've had a lot of projects that I've done throughout
01:29
the years.
01:30
But I think none of them really have like that uh Like that uh
01:35
sense of reggaeton.
01:36
I don't know if that's a word, but it didn't have like the vibe
01:38
of reggaeton that all people love about myself.
01:41
So I feel like I needed that.
01:43
And in this point of my career and when I started doing the album
01:47
I really kept that in my mind that this is like a, like a like
01:51
them, that what people wanna hear about Alejo and that's what
01:54
I, I wanna give to them and this is what Alejo is.
01:58
So I had all of that in mind when I was doing the album and I, I
02:01
started doing like a lot of other stuff too.
02:04
The album has a Afrobeat, it has EDM, it has house, I mean, it
02:07
has a lot of other stuff, but like main, the main point of the
02:12
album was to show that to people that Alejo is reggaeton and
02:16
this is the type of reggaeton.
02:17
Uh that Alejo does.
02:19
So that's like the point of the whole album that's translated
02:29
as the favorite of the girls.
02:32
It's, uh, it sounds funny.
02:34
I mean, I, I, it sounds funny to me too but I, I love it.
02:36
It, it, it started as a joke on the studio when I was doing like
02:40
my, my first project.
02:43
Uh I was doing that one of the songs and that just came out of
02:46
me, like, out of nowhere, we, we were just recording and I just
02:49
threw that on the table and everyone read, just started laughing
02:52
but we liked it.
02:53
So I started using it.
02:55
And when I, when, when I started doing doing more songs and
02:58
I started adding that to all the songs, I realized that most
03:01
of the people instead of calling me, they started calling
03:04
me like, like people on the street and people that wanted to
03:08
take pictures of me and all that stuff.
03:11
So it started like as a joke and it became like one of my identities
03:15
So when I did the album, I feel like that was crucial because
03:19
I wanted, I was telling you earlier that I feel I felt like this
03:22
this album was, it's, it is crucial like on this point of my
03:26
career.
03:27
So I just wanted it to have like my nickname.
03:30
So, so yeah, that's basically like why it's why it's why it's
03:34
called So Yeah.
03:41
305.
03:44
I mean, the song doesn't really says 305.
03:46
It does says a little bit about, about Miami.
03:49
But I just put that name because when I start, when I did the
03:51
song and I was like, hearing it on the studio after the studio
03:55
I, I just remember when I did with F and Robbie and we were just
03:59
like recording the video on, on Miami and we were just riding
04:03
like through the streets, recording some clips and everything
04:06
And I just have like that vivid memory every time I heard the
04:09
song.
04:10
So that's why I just put like three or five.
04:12
It just, it just, it gives me that vibe.
04:13
That song.
04:14
I, I just feel like I'm in, in a, like in a convertible car and
04:18
just riding like, like on the streets.
04:20
It's crazy.
04:21
I just love it.
04:21
I love that song.
04:22
Hey, what's up guys?
04:23
It's, I wanna invite everyone to listen to my new album on all
04:29
platforms.
