[Miami, FL — March 19, 2026]: After defining the sound of global charts for over a decade, multi-platinum visionary artist and producer Rvssian drops new single “Pongo” featuring frequent collaborator and global superstar Rauw Alejandro alongside Afrobeats superstar Wizkid. Stepping into a new phase of his career as lead artist, “Pongo” is a testament to Rvssian’s trajectory as a key architect of modern rhythms across genres.
​​
​“Pongo” mirrors the infectious groove of his past hits, effortlessly blending dancehall, reggaeton, and Afrobeats, a sleek, global fusion built for the summer, and a precursor of a new era that pays tribute to the origins of these genres, and promises to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Following the massive phenomenon “Santa,” also featuring Rauw Alejandro, which dominated the Billboard Global 200 and further solidified his status as one of music’s biggest tastemakers, this next phase is a reflection on his role in the current landscape, in which he would describe himself as a “cultural connector,” driven by a constant need to introduce “difference and fusion” into a climate he feels that has grown to be monotonous. “I'm a curator who enjoys bringing artists together and unifying different genres,” he says as part of his process. ​
​​
​With billions of streams across streaming platforms and a vast collection of multi-platinum certifications, Rvssian’s influence has caused a deep ripple in the charts. From seminal trap earworm “Krippy Kush” with Bad Bunny and Farruko, to genre-bending collaborations like “Writing on the Wall” with French Montana, Post Malone and Cardi B and his work with Future on Rauw Alejandro’s Trap Cake Vol. 2, Rvssian has consistently proven his ability to create hits and bridge the gap between countries, cultures, and genres. As the founder of the influential labels Rich Immigrants and Head Concussion Records, Rvssian continues to define the intersection of Caribbean dancehall and Latin Music’s mainstream.

[Miami, FL — 19 de marzo del 2026]: Tras definir el sonido de las listas de éxitos mundiales durante más de una década, el visionario artista y productor multi-platino Rvssian lanza su nuevo sencillo “Pongo”, contando con su colaborador habitual y superestrella global Rauw Alejandro, junto al icono del Afrobeats Wizkid. Entrando en una nueva fase de su carrera como artista principal, “Pongo” es un testimonio de la trayectoria de Rvssian como arquitecto clave de los ritmos modernos a través de diversos géneros.
​​
​“Pongo” refleja el ritmo contagioso de sus éxitos anteriores, mezclando el dancehall, el reggaetón y el Afrobeats en una fusión precisa y global diseñada para el verano; un precursor de una nueva era que rinde tributo a los orígenes de estos géneros, promete ser un gran éxito. Tras el fenómeno “Santa”, que también cuenta con la participación de Rauw Alejandro, que dominó el Billboard Global 200 y consolidó aún más su estatus como uno de los mayores referentes de la música, está próxima etapa es una reflexión sobre su papel en el panorama actual. Rvssian se describe a sí mismo como un “conector cultural”, impulsado por la necesidad constante de introducir “diferencia y fusión” en un clima que considera que se ha vuelto monótono. “Soy un curador que disfruta reuniendo a diferentes artistas y unificando muchos géneros”, afirma sobre su proceso. ​
​​
​Con miles de millones de reproducciones en plataformas de streaming y una colección de certificaciones de discos multi-platinos, la influencia de Rvssian ha causado un profundo impacto en las listas. Desde el influyente himno del trap “Krippy Kush” con Bad Bunny y Farruko, y colaboraciones como “Writing on the Wall” con French Montana, Post Malone y Cardi B, hasta su trabajo con Future en el albúm Trap Cake Vol. 2 de Rauw Alejandro, Rvssian ha demostrado constantemente su habilidad de crear éxitos y cerrar la brecha entre países, culturas y géneros musicales. Como fundador de los influyentes sellos Rich Immigrants y Head Concussion Records, Rvssian continúa definiendo la intersección entre el dancehall caribeño y la corriente principal de la música latina.
