Becky G Calls Tropical-Infused ‘Que Haces’ With Manuel Turizo ‘The Perfect Synergy’

Becky G has officially dropped her first single of 2025 — and it’s a complete contrast to the Música Mexicana era she’s been in for the past two years. 

Reeling in Colombian sensation Manuel Turizo, “Que Haces” is a merengue/bachata hybrid produced by Nup and Ciey. Lyrically, the song is flirty, cheeky and, in Becky’s own words, “atrevida” (daring), narrating the story of two people who like each other and have the urge to start dating.

“It really encompasses how romantic relationships are nowadays,” Becky G tells Billboard over a Zoom interview. “We can be super casual and get married tomorrow. The freedom of it is not just in the lyrics, but in the feeling: you can hear me smiling when you’re listening to it. There’s something very contagious about this record, I describe it as serotonin in a song.”

Trending on Billboard

Marking her first collaborative effort with Turizo, the Mexican-American artist expresses she “definitely slid into his DMs” after the tune was done.

“As soon as I finished doing my thing, I remember thinking that there was only one person who could make this song be what it could be, and that’s when I reached out to Manuel,” she elaborates. “We were both so hands on with it. It’s the perfect synergy for sure.”

The music video, directed by Joey & Joey in the heart of Miami’s Hialeah neighborhood, celebrates the kind of puppy love that grows old together. But beyond the feel-good, romantic, and nostalgic elements found in the song and video, “Que Haces” represents an evolution for Becky. 

“Coming out of [my música mexicana albums] ‘Esquinas’ and ‘Encuentros,’ I can confidently say that I’m a genre-less artist,” she notes. “This song is an evolution of me as an artist and a woman. I’m not rebranding or abandoning anything, I’m building something. Moving forward, my main focus is that no matter what music I make, Becky is going to be Becky.”

Making their grand entrance into the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, for the 60th annual awards show, country music icons like Reba McEntire — who’s hosting the show for the 18th time — and Wynonna Judd opted for fancy, all-black ensembles while LeAnn Rimes stunned in a nude illusion gown. Meanwhile, male artists like ERNEST, John Morgan and Parker McCollum dressed up their denim with fitted blazers, gleaming belt buckles and boots.

Kodak Black “Christopher Columbus,” Bizzare “Cooley High” & More | Daily Visuals 5.8.25

HipHopWired Featured Video

It’s no secret that Kodak Black is a proud Donald Trump supporter, but now it seems like the Floridian is looking to give the MAGA base a little something to groove to as he’s named his latest joint after their favorite criminal colonizing explorer.

Dropping off some new visuals to “Christopher Columbus,” Kodak Black hosts a seminar of sorts where he raps to his attendees and mentions Vladimir Putin, Jesus Christ, and of course the man who led the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria to a land that was already occupied by Native Americans. Kodak really leaning into that MAGA mindset, huh?

Back in Detroit, Bizarre keeps that D-12 spirit alive and in his latest clip to “Cooley High,” the plus sized rapper styles out for a photo shoot before getting on his pimp ish with his luxurious Cadillac ride parked outside.

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from K Carbon, AFFA, and more.

KODAK BLACK – “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS”

BIZARRE – “COOLEY HIGH”

CRAIG DAVID – “WAKE UP”

K CARBON – “DO IT”

AFFA – “DIVA”

SALIMATA – “FOIL”

MOZZY FT. DAVE EAST – “FROM THE MUD”

DWILL DEGALDO – “MERCH IT”

Stephen King may not be the big name on the film scene that he was in the ’80s and ’90s, but us older folks are familiar with the man’s game so best believe whenever his name is attached to a new project we’re all in on whatever it is.

On Wednesday (May 7), Lions Gate released the first trailer for their upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s 1979 novel, The Long Walk, and while it’s not a horror film per se it’s definitely a nerve-racking scary movie simply because it seems like something that could happen in Trump’s America (just sayin’). Centering a contest where participants are asked to simply walk as far as possible, things take a crazy turn as the rule states that anyone who walks below 3 miles per hour gets their ticket punched i.e. killed.

With soldiers accompanying them and shooting down contestants one by one, the group of walkers know that the last man standing isn’t just going to win the big prize (cash), but the prize of life itself. With men dropping off one by one due to health issues or simply trying to get out of the contest itself (bang, bang), The Long Walk seems like the kind of thriller that’ll have you hoping society never comes to such dystopian levels. With Cheeto Jesus in charge, it might though!

Check out the trailer for Stephen King’s The Long Walk below, and let us know if you’ll be checking it out when it hits theaters sometime this year.
