AceShowbiz - 2024 has been a stupendous year for music and film, with standout releases from Peso Pluma and fresh performances lighting up the big screen. From the pound-for-pound hits in the Latino music world to unforgettable turns by Hollywood's finest, this year is closing with a bang.
Peso Pluma isn't wrapping up the year just yet. The Mexican music star unleashed the introspective yet provocative "Gervonta", a corrido that finds Peso reflecting on his own journey to stardom. The nearly three-minute song kicks off with a slow and somber beat and then quickly transitions into a more uptempo, multi-instrumental sound that has characterized Peso's corrido tumbado style. The title is a nod to American boxer Gervonta "Tank" Davis, a former three-division world champion who has held the World Boxing Association lightweight title since 2023. (Peso Pluma translates to lightweight in Spanish.)
On the flashy "Gervonta", Peso sings about an extravagant lifestyle, one that thrives on wealth, travel and indulgence. It's a theme Peso is familiar with, and one he's explored in previous songs, including in his latest album "Exodo", which he released in June. The LP, featuring collabs with Cardi B, Ivan Cornejo and Quavo, to name a few, peaked at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart for 12 weeks. On the Billboard 200, the set earned a No. 5 spot.
