[Miami, FL — July 28, 2026]: Multi-platinum artist, producer, and cultural architect Rvssian has earned a nomination at Premios Juventud 2026 in the Best Urban Rhythmic Song category for "PONGO," his acclaimed collaboration with Rauw Alejandro and Wizkid. The nomination recognizes a defining moment in Rvssian's evolution from one of the industry's most influential producers into a front-facing artist with a global creative vision.
\u200b
\u200bThe recognition further underscores the impact of "PONGO," a cross-continental collaboration that seamlessly blends dancehall, reggaeton, and Afrobeats while reflecting the musical philosophy that has defined Rvssian's career: connecting cultures, genres, and audiences through rhythm. As the lead single from his upcoming debut album as a main artist, "PONGO" marked the beginning of a new chapter, one that builds on his legacy while placing his own artistic identity at the forefront.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Rvssian has spent more than a decade helping shape the sound of contemporary global music. The multi-platinum visionary behind worldwide hits including "Santa," "Krippy Kush," and "Writing on the Wall," has collaborated with artists such as Bad Bunny, Rauw Alejandro, Wizkid, Farruko, Post Malone, Cardi B, Future, J Balvin, Sean Paul, Chris Brown, and Anuel AA, among many others. As the founder of Rich Immigrants and Head Concussion Records, he has become one of the defining creative forces behind the fusion of Caribbean, Latin, and African sounds.

Released earlier this year, "PONGO" was featured on the cover of Apple Music's New Music Daily and Spotify's Viva Latino, has amassed nearly 50 million streams across platforms, and received editorial support from outlets including Rolling Stone and Complex. The single also reached the Top 40 of Billboard's Latin Digital Song Sales and Hot Latin Songs charts, cementing its place as one of the standout global collaborations of the year.
\u200b
\u200bPremios Juventud 2026 will take place on September 3 in Marbella, Spain, as part of the inaugural PJ Fest, a week-long celebration of Latin music featuring live performances, fan experiences, and some of the region's biggest stars.
\u200b
\u200bVoting will be open from July 28 through August 10, 2026. Fans can support Rvssian by casting their votes through the official Premios Juventud website: https://www.premiosjuventud.com/vota.
