ICYMI, yesterday evening Daddy Yankee casually tossed us a super-stacked Spotify playlist via Twitter. His latest, “Definitivamente,” featuring Sech, is second in chronology, after “La Santa,” his collab with Bad Bunny for YHLQMDLG. 

Scattered throughout are DY mega-hits, like “Gasolina” and “Lo Que Pasó, Pasó” and “Dura.” A slew of other artists—some vieja escuela icons, faves of the latest wave and promising newcomers—are also featured throughout.

A new cut from Natti Natasha is on there, too: “Despacio,” featuring Nicky Jam, Myke Towers and Manuel Turizo. Venezuelan singer Manu Manzo’s “X La Ventana” is the only other woman-led track, though.

Despite the gender disparity, the selections are top-notch, particularly if you’re a Daddy Yankee fan.

He issued no statement in tweeting the playlist, by the way. It’s “Definitivamente” promo (pun intended), but also a solid soundtrack for a virtual perreo party with the friends you’re missing during the COVID-19 quarantine. Or puedes perrear solx—either way, we gotta move around for a bit of exercise, right?
