Hi, I’m Isabela Raygoza, and I’m here with JOP de Fuerza Regida
JOP:
Yo, what’s cracking? We’re here locked in.
¿Todo bien?
Happy to be here.
Thank you. Pues-
Thank you for having us.
It’s awesome to have you in in New York. You know, I’m also from SoCal, so San Bernardino represent aquí.
I’ve only seen you in Cali.
You’ve only seen me in Cali, and I am from Cali, and I always go back in holidays. But, you know, that’s why I-
Only holidays?
Pues, I know I should go more often.
Yeah, you gotta go more.
Pero hey, yo, let’s talk about your new album, ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES,’ honestly, dope. I am amazed at the sonic transitions that you’ve done. Pero antes de hablar about the new sounds, let’s talk about the title, ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES.’
That’s just the vibe right now, I’ve said in a couple interviews already, it’s just a little bit of everything. If you think about the name ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES,’ that’s what it is.
Okay, okay.
Like in general,
Okay, okay.
All around.
Yeah, that’s the vibe right now. I was also pretty, like, taken aback about, like, how you were able to fuse these two styles, you know, Jersey Club and corridos. You coined Jersey Corridos. How did that mix come together first of all?
Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question. If you’ve been here for 10 years, do you like Jersey?
Keep watching for more!

“When I first heard [Jersey club] about one to two years ago, I loved it. I was like, ‘Man, I wanna do something with it.’ I just didn’t know how. But I knew that when I did, they were gonna talk sh–t,” he tells Billboard Español. “So when it got to the point to make a new album, I was like, ‘I wanna do Jerseys and dance music, I want to do something different but still keep the original Fuerza Regida [essence], with the guitars.’”
Moreover, JOP’s enthusiasm for experimentation doesn’t stop at genre blending. The album involves collaborations with various EDM and Latin artists, including Major Lazer, Afrojack, Maluma and more. Fuerza Regida enlisted music producers Gordo (known for his work on Drake’s Baltimore club hit “Sticky”) and Synthetic, the architect behind Lil Uzi Vert’s Jersey club smash “Just Wanna Rock.” “Gordo has the dance s–-t on lock, he’s the man; and Synthetic, he’s killing it with the Jersey club,” adds the Mexican American artist.
