Career

Luis R Conriquiz was born in Caborca, Mexico on February 1996. In 2018, after quitting his full-time job at a gas station, Conriquiz focused on writing songs. [4] He eventually signed to the independent label Kartel Music, where he released his debut album Mis Inicios, which contained the collaborative track "Mi Apodo El 20" with Los Minis de Caborca. [5]

In 2019, Conriquez would release the single "El Buho", which eventually reached the top 10 on the US Regional Mexican Airplay chart. [6] He would also release three albums that year; his second and third studio albums Pocos Pero Locos and Aquí Sequimos de Pie, and the compilation album Corridos 2019, Vol. 2. [5]

In 2022, Conriquez collaborated with La Adictiva on "JGL", which peaked atop the US Regional Mexican Airplay chart, in its fourth week. [7] Lyrically, the song praises drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. [8] In August 2022, Conriquez would collaborate with Peso Pluma on "Siempre Pendientes", which was commercially successful. [9] The song and its accompanied music video attained controversy; the song's lyrics mainly praised drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, while its music video, directed by Cesar Acosta, was removed from YouTube three days later due to public outrage, with over 2 million views in its first 24 hours on the platform. [10] [11] Following the single's release, Conriquez would collaborate with Grupo Marca Registrada on "Puro Campeón". [12]

In the beginning of 2023, Conriquez released a cover of Marco Antonio Solís' "Si Tú Te Fueras de Mí" [13] and would collaborate with Grupo Firme on "Un Amor Como Este" in February 2023. [14] He eventually collaborated with American singer Nicky Jam on "Como el Viento", which was released in March 2023 and was recorded in Miami during the week of the Premio Lo Nuestro 2023. [15] Throughout the summer of 2023, Conriquez would release several songs with other artists, which include "Viejo Lobo" with Natanael Cano, [16] "Su Casa" with Peso Pluma, [17] "La 701" with Panter Bélico, [18] and "Dembow Bélico" with Tito Double P and Joel de la P. [19] In October 2023, Conriquez was seen with J Balvin during Canelo Álvarez's afterparty, where it was rumoured that both would collaborate. [20] That same month, he would announce his first album since 2022, Corridos Bélicos, Vol. IV , where Peso Pluma and Natanael Cano would appear. [21] He would promote the album by releasing the single "Sin Tanto Royo" with Tito Double P. [22] In November 2023, he would collaborate with Los Dareyes de la Sierra and Edgardo Nuñez on the dembow track "De Fresa y Coco". [23] [24] He would also release a collaboration with Colombian singer Ryan Castro that same month, titled "Plebita". [25] In December, he would release "Te Quiero Así", which was a tribute to Valentín Elizalde, [26] as well as the reveal of the tracklist for Corridos Bélicos, Vol. IV. [27]
