Antes de Ameri is the third studio album by Argentine rapper Duki, released through Dale Play Records and SSJ Records on June 22, 2023.

Contents

The lead single, "Harakiri" with C.R.O, was released on March 30, 2023. Other three songs were released as singles: "Apollo 13", "Rockstar 2.0" with Jhayco, and "Don't Lie" with Quevedo.

Background

After Desde el Fin del Mundo, Lombardo announced that he would focus on a "commercial facet", beginning to appear in multiple collaborations with renowned artists such as Tini, Emilia Mernes, Tiago PZK, MYA, Nicki Nicole or Bizarrap, and venturing more into the reggaeton and pop genre with the releases of his EP Temporada de Reggaetón. [1] Lombardo commented that the reason for his decision was that he wanted to test his performance on the charts and the mainstream. [2] In the second part of the EP, Lombardo announced his "return to trap" with flyers placed around Buenos Aires, Madrid and Mexico City with his new single "Givenchy", which ended up being released on July 20, 2022. [3] Along with this, Lombardo performed a historic string of concerts at the Amalfitani stadium in Vélez Sársfield, becoming the first artist of his litter to perform a concert in a football stadium. [4] On November 16, 2022, he released his long-awaited Bizarrap Music Session in which Lombardo took a tour of his musical career. [5] After this, Lombardo announced that he was starting to work on his new album for 2023 under the name Temporada de Diablos. [6]

On June 10, Lombardo posted the official tracklist for the album via Twitter. On June 15, he announced the official title Antes de Ameri and its release date of June 22. [7] The next day, he revealed the official cover, and in turn, clarified that the album was intended to be played from the first song to the last, and not randomly. [8]

Promotion

After going six months without releasing music on his own, on February 17, 2023 Lombardo released "Si Me Sobrara el Tiempo" as the first single from what would be his next album. [9] However, on March 30, he released "Harakiri" together with C.R.O, a song that Lombardo also announced as the first single from his next album in an Instagram post, hinting that there could be two albums to be released. [10] The next singles released were "Apollo 13" on May 3, which had leaked several months earlier, and "Rockstar 2.0" with Jhayco on June 21, as a sequel to the original song "Rockstar" that Lombardo had released in 2018.
