Choteando is a colloquial term, particularly common in some Latin American countries, that means "snitching" or "ratting out" someone to authorities or enemies. It implies betrayal and informing on others.
In "Los De Siempre," Anuel AA uses this word to criticize those who betray their crew or reveal secrets, contrasting them with his loyal inner circle, "los de siempre." It highlights the theme of loyalty and distrust prevalent in the song's narrative.
Anuel AA, with Chris Jedi, brings us "Los De Siempre" [The Usual Suspects], a track all about loyalty and staying true to your roots. It's a blunt message to anyone who wasn't there during the tough times, asking, "Si no lloraste conmigo cuando me caí, no pretenda' reírte conmigo ahora que subí" [If you didn't cry with me when I fell, don't pretend to laugh with me now that I'm up].
He's basically saying, "We don't want new faces here; the usual suspects are here." It's all about his crew, the ones who are making money with him and who would genuinely mourn if he were gone. He even jokes about how he's so focused on his crew and success that he barely notices his enemies, or even remembers the names of the women he's with! It's a fun, defiant anthem for anyone who's ever felt like they had to prove themselves and wants to celebrate their ride-or-die friends.
