Bckpckbyz Lyrics in English by Peso Pluma, Tito Double P
Artisteada is a cool, modern slang word you won't find in your textbook. It's derived from the word artista, which means "artist".
It describes the act of showing off, being the center of attention, or "putting on a show" like a celebrity would. In the song, Peso Pluma mentions 'la artisteada' in the clubs (antros), painting a picture of the flashy, star-like lifestyle that comes with his fame.
Peso Pluma and Tito Double P lay out a story of success that started with a dream "en la bahía" (in the bay). The song is all about making money through the cannabis brand Backpack Boyz. The narrator says he "saqué la mochila y tomé varios riesgos" (took out the backpack and took several risks), and now he's covered in "hielo" (ice, or diamonds). This isn't about fame for him; it's about the business of "la marihuana" (marijuana), specifically the brand Backpack Boyz, which he shouts out multiple times.
The whole track feels like a celebration of making it. He talks about relaxing on the beach with women who like champagne and closing deals over a specific cannabis strain: "Cierro tratos con gelato" (I close deals with gelato). But there's a serious side, too. He mentions needing to protect himself—"Balas traigo" (I carry bullets)—and keeping his identity secret. The core of the operation is clear when he says, "hierba hemos de cultivar" (we have to cultivate weed). He's proud of his Mexican heritage and has found a home in Los Angeles, spending his money on Balenciaga in Las Vegas and enjoying the high life.
