Anuel AA's
Emmanuel is a star-studded, 22-track urbano monster whose early singles including "China" (featuring
Karol G,
Daddy Yankee,
Ozuna, and
J Balvin) set the stage. The kickoff track is a soulful, heartfelt reading of
Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" in Spanish featuring drummer
Travis Barker. Throughout, a steady stream of top-level guests assist:
Enrique Iglesias helps out on "Fútbol & Rumba,"
Bad Bunny is featured on "Hasta Que Dios Diga" and "Así Soy Yo,"
Mariah appears on the jazz-tinged "Bandido" (with samples from
Jon Hassell), while
Lil Wayne raps on "Ferrari." In addition to "China,"
Karol G also appears on "Secreto," and
Tego Calderon and
Jangueo on "Rifles Rusos." Upon release, the set topped the charts in Spain and on the U.S. Latin list while landing in the Top Ten on the Billboard 200.
