Track marks the Venezuelan musician’s first release of the year
The boys are ready to pick up a hottie in their luxury car. On Thursday, Neutro Shorty released his new single “La Maybach,” which hears the Venezuelan star exchanging verses with Yandel, Eladio Carrión and Myke Towers.
The collaboration between Yandel and Neutro has a poignant story behind it. Neutro was scheduled to join Yandel at a concert in Neutro’s native Caracas, but got in a car accident in the days leading up to the event. Despite the crash, Neutro — wearing a neck brace and with bruises still on his body — still pulled up to the concert and performed with Yandel, who promised him onstage they’d make a song together.
“This song is more than a collaboration; it’s the fulfillment of a promise and proof that no obstacle is greater than passion and perseverance,” Neutro tells Rolling Stone.
The track is laced with the old-school reggaeton flow of Yandel as he jumps in for the song’s chorus. “Baby I called to see you, In the Maybach always 120/I’m always smoking the 420/This shorty likes criminals,” they sing.
Towers’ verse hears her describing the “nights in the hotel” with the baddie of his dreams, before Carrión’s lines that hear him admitting he’s willing to go out and “put on a fit quick” to meet a girl willing to “hang with the gang.” (He even sneaks in a reference to his “77” collaborator Peso Pluma.)
“La Maybach” marks Nuetro Shorty’s first solo release of the year after joining Elena Rose on “Catira” earlier this year. His last project arrived in 2023 with Cartel del Caribe alongside Chucky73. He also headlined his first tour in the U.S. earlier this year. Towers, for his part, has collaborated with Duki and Messiah this year after releasing a deluxe version of his album, La Pantera Negra, last month.
At the Latin Grammys last week, Carrión revealed to Rolling Stone that his fatherhood journey is inspiring his upcoming music. “My kids are what’s inspiring me,” he said. “They’re the biggest motivation and inspiration. I work so much and I’ve done so much more than I thought I could when I had them.”
