CONTENTS SUMMARY
AMOR PROPIO (SELF-LOVE)
Nunca use' a una persona pa' olvidar a otra
Aprende a amarte a ti primero estando a solas
Nunca use' a una persona pa' olvidar a otra
Con el amor propio haz una boda
I never used somebody to forget somebody else
Learn to love yourself first while being alone
I never used somebody to forget somebody else
Have a wedding with self-love

Need a quick pick-me-up after heartbreak? Jon Z’s “AMOR PROPIO” feels like a musical pep-talk straight from the streets of Puerto Rico. Instead of bragging about conquests, the rapper urges you to “marry your self-love,” reminding listeners that healing starts with looking inward. He warns against rebound relationships, compares time to a doctor that stitches up heart wounds, and celebrates solitude as a classroom where you learn to forgive, reflect, and grow.

The song is packed with life tips delivered over a smooth Latin trap beat. Jon Z tells you to protect your mental health, choose real friends, and keep good vibes close. By the end, his message is crystal clear: if you cannot love yourself first, you will keep measuring every new partner against the one who got away. “AMOR PROPIO” turns self-care into an anthem you can dance to, proving that confidence and compassion begin with the person in the mirror.

OLVIDATE (FORGET IT)
Me dicen que de noche me piensas y me lloras
Que tratas de nadar entre tus lágrimas y te ahogas
Que te estás congelando en el frio por no volverme a tener
No fue mi culpa, fue tu orgullo de mujer
They tell me that at night you think about me and you cry over me
That you try to swim among your tears and you drown
That you are freezing in the cold because you can’t have me again
It wasn’t my fault, it was your womanly pride

In Olvídate, Puerto Rican rapper Jon Z paints a vivid picture of a break-up that stings on both sides. The narrator has walked away, yet rumors keep reaching him: his ex cries at night, drinks to forget, and spirals into self-destructive habits every time his voice hits the radio. He throws back biting lines like “That drink tastes like my skin” and urges her to delete the photos and forget his mouth, all while admitting his own heart is shattered.

Beneath the swagger and catchy urban beat, the song explores the tug-of-war between pride and vulnerability. Jon Z calls out toxic behavior, addiction to heartache, and the cold silence that follows betrayal, but he also acknowledges the pain of swimming against the current of lingering feelings. References to Christian Nodal and late-night partying add a cultural flair, giving learners a snapshot of contemporary Latin trap blended with raw emotion. In short, Olvídate is a melodic memo that sometimes the only way forward is to burn the past—even if the ashes still smolder.

0 Sentimientos (Remix) (Zero Feelings (Remix))
A una le di confianza, me enamoró y en su juego caí
La segunda vino con lo mismo
Ella me mintió y yo también le mentí
Por eso es que soy hijueputa'
I gave one my trust, she made me fall in love and I fell for her game
The second came with the same
She lied to me and I lied to her too
That's why I'm a son of a b*tch

"0 Sentimientos (Remix)" is a raw, no-filter anthem where Jon Z, Baby Rasta, Noriel, Lyan, Darkiel, and Messiah turn heartbreak into bravado. After being fooled by one woman, the narrators decide to flip the script: trust is dead, love is a game, and the only rules are conquest and cash. Each verse stacks up tales of calculated seduction, recycled love-letters, and instant disappearances, all delivered over a hard-hitting trap beat that echoes their bitterness.

Beneath the swagger sits a cautionary message. The track shows how betrayal can harden a heart, swapping vulnerability for revenge and turning former romantics into self-proclaimed players. While the lyrics brag about endless hookups and “0 feelings,” the very need to declare that motto hints at lingering wounds. The song captures the darker side of modern romance, reminding listeners that when trust shatters, 0 sentimientos becomes both armor and prison.

PISCOLABIS (SNACK)
Entre el humo de la hookah y cannabis
Me intoxico, ya quiero un piscolabi'
To' el mundo borracho, quieren pasarme la llave
Y yo con una nota que no cabe otra moña
Among the hookah smoke and cannabis
I get intoxicated, I already want a snack
Everybody's drunk, they want to pass me the key
And I'm so high that no more bud fits

Get ready for an unapologetic Puerto Rican party anthem. In “PISCOLABIS,” Jon Z and Almighty plunge listeners into a haze of hookah smoke, cannabis clouds, and booming basslines. The title itself is a playful twist on the Spanish word piscolabis (a quick snack); here, it becomes shorthand for any fast-acting thrill – whether it’s a designer high, a flashy Versace fit, or a steamy hookup on the dance-floor. Over a pulsating trap beat they brag about lighting blunts, soaking up fandom, and repping their Boricua roots with shout-outs to classics like “Don Dale” and cultural icons like Tito Puente.

Amid the bravado, the duo mixes tongue-in-cheek humor with swagger: “Dile ‘no’ a las droga’, tú dámelas a mí” (“Say ‘no’ to drugs, just hand them to me”). The message isn’t preachy; it’s a wild, hedonistic snapshot of a night where limits disappear and confidence skyrockets. Jon Z flaunts his authenticity (“Real, no uso careta”) while Almighty stacks references to mushrooms, Fenta, and golden Perco pills. The result is a high-energy soundtrack built “pa’ la disco y los residenciales” – for clubs and the barrio alike – inviting listeners to embrace the chaos, feel the beat, and savor every last piscolabis of the experience.

Río De Janeiro (Rio De Janeiro)
Mmm
Vacilando por São Paulo, Brasil
Sin reversa, voy a mil
Baby, ya deja la perse, nadie nos conoce aquí
Mmm
Chilling through São Paulo, Brazil
No reverse, I'm going a thousand
Baby, stop the chase, nobody knows us here

Get ready to escape to Brazil with Jon Z and Farruko in "Río De Janeiro"! This song is all about letting loose and having an amazing time, leaving all your worries behind. They're cruising through São Paulo, feeling unstoppable: "Sin reversa, voy a mil" [No reverse, I'm going a thousand]. It's a call to forget about what anyone else thinks because, as they say, "nadie nos conoce aquí" [nobody knows us here].

The vibe is super chill and confident, with a mix of afrobeat rhythms. Jon Z talks about expressing himself through music: "Todo lo que siento, yo lo suelto en el beat" [Everything I feel, I let it out on the beat]. He's bringing gifts and showing off his unique style, even comparing himself to a legendary salsa singer with "Flow Tito Rojas, mami, soy el Gallo" [Flow Tito Rojas, mommy, I'm the Rooster]. They're imagining themselves in the Amazon, surrounded by tropical flowers, just chilling on the sand in front of the ocean. It's all about spontaneity and living in the moment, ready to travel and party, even saying, "Hoy se prenden en fuego las favela'" [Today the favelas catch fire]. It's a fun, carefree anthem for dancing and enjoying life to the fullest, feeling like a "Latina como J-Lo, rockstar como JHAYCO" [Latina like J-Lo, rockstar like JHAYCO].

EmboYa
K.A.R. Beats
Yeah, Jon Z, man
Drugs nos metimos los dos
Cuando chingamos bien rico, la nota subió
K.A.R. Beats
Yeah, Jon Z, man
Drugs we both took
When we f*** really well, the high went up

Jon Z's "EmboYa" is all about a wild night out, mixing good times with a bit of rebellion. He's with a girl, and they're both getting high: "Drugs nos metimos los dos" [We both took drugs]. The vibe is super intense when they're together, and the drugs and alcohol just amplify everything, making the experience even more exciting.

He's definitely throwing shade at her ex, calling him a "gatito" [kitten] who "de hace tiempo te tenía drenás" [had you drained for a long time]. Jon Z, on the other hand, is the real deal, from the neighborhood while she's from the city. He's all about living it up, with mentions of luxury like "Rolly, diamantes son VV" [Rolex, diamonds are VV] and a devil-may-care attitude, saying "Yo soy un diablo como Lamborghini" [I'm a devil like a Lamborghini]. It's a fun, energetic track about leaving the past behind and embracing a new, thrilling connection.

Tu Ex (Your Ex)
Baby, él te dejó, tú lloraste
Te levantaste, lo superaste
Me conociste, te enamoraste
Rehiciste tu vida
Baby, he left you, you cried
You got up, you got through it
You met me, you fell in love
You remade your life

Jon Z's "Tu Ex" is a super direct and confident anthem about a new relationship flourishing despite an ex trying to stir up trouble. The song tells the story from the perspective of the new partner, who is basically saying, "Hey, your ex left you, you cried, but then you got over it and found me!" He's making it clear that the ex had their chance: "Ya él tuvo su break, ya pasó su break" [He already had his break, his break passed].

The lyrics are pretty blunt and even a bit funny as he tells the ex to back off. He's not shy about saying, "Dile que soy yo ahora el dueño de ese culo" [Tell him that I am now the owner of that ass] and even playfully boasts, "él es medio feíto y yo soy un papi chulo" [he's a bit ugly and I'm a daddy cool]. It's all about how happy the woman is now and how the ex only wants her back because she's with someone new and thriving. Jon Z is basically saying, "You snooze, you lose!" and he's not letting anyone ruin this new love.

Disco Infierno (Disco Inferno)
Jon Z, man
Produciendo y matando la pista
Ella es una diabla
Salió del infierno
Jon Z, man
Producing and killing the track
She's a devil
He came out of hell

Jon Z and Tobal Mj bring us a wild ride with "Disco Infierno"! This song is all about a captivating woman the artists describe as a "diabla" [devil woman] who came straight from hell. She's loose, she's dancing, and she's burning up the party, but it's all a game.

The lyrics tell us she says she loves them, but they know it's just play. They're down for it though, saying "Si solo quieres jugar, pa' eso estoy dispuesto" [If you only want to play, I'm willing to]. This woman plays with their minds like witchcraft, giving kisses and then disappearing. It's a passionate, no-strings-attached kind of relationship, full of late nights and wild times, where she's always on their mind. They even mention her love for the bad things, like hooking up in a Mercedes, living a lavish life, and keeping their connection a secret from the streets. It's a fun, intense look at a fiery, complicated connection.

Recuerdos (Memories)
Disfrutemos el momento
Que no sé si después sea en recuerdo
Mi silencio grita todo lo que siento
Me hablo solo pa' calmar este tormento
Let's enjoy the moment
I don't know if later it'll be just a memory
My silence screams everything I feel
I talk to myself to ease this torment

Jon Z's "Recuerdos" is all about living in the moment before it becomes just a memory. He's got this internal struggle, where his silence is screaming everything he feels, and he talks to himself to calm the torment. It's a really relatable feeling of being caught between enjoying now and worrying about later.

He sings, "En este juego se gana perdiendo" [In this game, you win by losing], which is such a cool paradox! The song explores a past connection, wondering "¿Qué puede suceder?" [What can happen?] when he keeps getting lost in every memory. There's no more drama, just calm, and this person's name still lives in his soul, even though pride might have gotten in the way before. It feels like a reflection on a passionate love that wasn't a mistake, but "Fue amor, fue pasión, una canción" [It was love, it was passion, a song]. Now, with the sun shining differently and no time to lose, it's just about him and this person, with nothing to fear. It's a powerful message about embracing the present and letting go of past regrets.

Humilde No Pendejo (Humble Not a Fool)
Diablo, Ivy, me siento tan y tan orgullosa de mi hijo
Me siento tan orgullosa de ti
Estoy sumamente agradecida
Porque Dios es bueno, Dios es real, Dios es maravilloso
Devil, Ivy, I'm so and so proud of my son
I'm so proud of you
I am extremely grateful
'Cause God is good, God is real, God is wonderful

Jon Z's "Humilde No Pendejo" is a powerful anthem about staying true to yourself while navigating success and challenges. The song kicks off with a heartfelt message from what sounds like his mother, expressing immense pride and gratitude, setting a tone of deep personal connection and family values.

Jon Z then takes over, declaring that he never "negocié" [negotiated] his soul with the devil, emphasizing that everything he has, he "josié" [hustled] for. He talks about his journey from making a hundred thousand to now wanting a million, showing his ambition and drive. He attributes his blessings to never being envious and thanks his mom for raising him "Humilde, pero no me dejo" [Humble, but I don't let myself be taken advantage of]. This line really sums up the song's core message: he's humble, but he's no fool. He's not afraid to stand his ground, stating, "No es fácil cogerme de pendejo" [It's not easy to take me for a fool]. He also touches on loyalty and protection, mentioning he has people who "velan por mí" [watch out for me] and that he's never run from problems. It's a raw and honest look at his life, his upbringing, and his unwavering resolve.

Pool
Geniuz
Baby, lo que pase depende de ti
Estoy bellaco, tú me tienes crazy
Tú te haces la que no sabe
Geniuz
Baby, what happens is up to you
I'm scoundrel, you've got me crazy
You pretend you don't know

Jon Z's "Pool" is a super direct and playful track where he's clearly smitten and ready to make a move! He opens by telling someone, "Baby, lo que pase depende de ti" [Baby, what happens depends on you], putting the ball entirely in their court. He admits he's "bellaco" [horny] and that they've got him "crazy," even though they're playing coy, acting like they don't know what he's talking about. He's curious, asking "A qué te sabe quiero saber" [I want to know what it tastes like to you].

The whole song is basically him asking for permission to get closer, using the metaphor of a "pool." He wants them to "Dame la luz" [Give me the light/green light] so he can "hundirlo en tu pool, ma" [sink it in your pool, ma]. He's imagining a night out, asking if they want to "janguear" [hang out] and offering to pick them up. He loves their lipstick and wants to kiss their mouth. He describes them with "pelo black, blanquita y un par de tats" [black hair, fair-skinned, and a couple of tats], and it's clear he's really into them. He's ready for a fun, wild night, even if it means they've "se escapó del jevo" [escaped from their boyfriend] for a bit of "Romo y teteo" [rum and partying]. Every time he sees them, he just wants them, saying "baby, yo te deseo" [baby, I desire you]. It's a bold and flirty invitation to a night of passion!

La Calle Es Mi Escuela (The Street Is My School)
Yo crecí en el barrio donde amigos traicionan
Amores se van de ver a mamá y ver a papá
Duro trabajar para sustentar
Nunca nos faltó nada
I grew up in the neighborhood where friends betray
Loves go from seeing mom and seeing dad
Hard to work to sustain
We never lacked anything

Jon Z's "La Calle Es Mi Escuela" is all about how growing up in the neighborhood shaped him into the person he is today. He talks about the tough lessons he learned, like how "amigos traicionan" [friends betray] and "amores se van" [loves leave]. But even with those hard times, his family always made sure there was "comida en la nevera" [food in the fridge].

He really emphasizes that "El barrio es mi escuela" [The neighborhood is my school] and "La vida es mi maestra" [Life is my teacher], saying he learned "a cantazo' en la carretera" [by hard knocks on the road]. He learned to survive and not judge by appearances, even spending "muchas noches sin dormir" [many sleepless nights] praying for patience. He's proud of staying loyal to his crew, starting "to' desde abajo" [everything from the bottom], and now getting "millones de views" [millions of views]. He credits his success to God's blessing and those early freestyles on Facebook, declaring, "Nadie puede apagar mi luz" [Nobody can turn off my light]!

Bandido Con El Corazón Dañao (Bandit With a Damaged Heart)
Fron-, Fronti
Jon Z, man
Soy un bandido con el corazón dañao'
Me enamoré y me dejaron tirao'
Fron-, Fronti
Jon Z, man
I'm a bandit with a damaged heart'
I fell in love and they left me stranded'

Jon Z and Fronti's "Bandido Con El Corazón Dañao" tells a story of deep betrayal and a heart hardened by past hurts. Our artist describes himself as a "bandido con el corazón dañao'" [a bandit with a damaged heart], someone who has been left "tirao'" [stranded] after falling in love. This experience has made him distrustful and rebellious, always on guard with "la Glock en la mano y el pecho apuñalao'" [a Glock in his hand and his chest stabbed].

He explains that his laughter is a way to avoid crying, and if he loves again, it's to forget. He's not looking for revenge when he's with someone new; his soul just screams for him to stop waiting for what's lost. He admits he's not made of stone but learned to endure, and his damaged heart won't heal. He was betrayed by those he thought were his friends, forcing him to walk alone. The song is a raw look at how betrayal can change someone, making them close off and lose faith in love and loyalty.

0 Sentimientos (Remix) [feat. Noriel, Darkiel, Lyan, Messiah & Baby Rasta] (Zero Feelings (Remix) [feat. Noriel, Darkiel, Lyan, Messiah & Baby Rasta])
(This is the remix)
A una le di confianza, me enamoró y en su juego caí
La segunda vino con lo mismo
Ella me mintió y yo también le mentí
(This is the remix)
I gave confidence to one, I fell in love and in his game I fell
The second came with the same
She lied to me and I lied to her too

Have you ever been so hurt by someone that you promised yourself you'd never let it happen again? That's the raw, unfiltered story behind "0 Sentimientos (Remix)." The title itself translates to "0 Feelings," and it perfectly captures the song's core message. Jon Z and a lineup of artists like Noriel and Messiah share a common tale: they each trusted a woman who played with their heart. As a result, they've built a wall around their emotions and adopted a new philosophy: if they were played, they will now be the players.

This track is a bold declaration of their emotional detachment. The artists describe a lifestyle where they refuse to fall in love, instead treating relationships as a game. They boast about seducing women only to leave them, viewing it as a form of revenge and self-preservation. The song is a powerful, if cynical, anthem about how a single heartbreak can completely change a person's perspective on love and trust, leading them to shut down their feelings entirely.
