Following Chuy Montana’s tragic murder last year, Fuerza Regida’s Jesús Ortiz Paz (aka JOP) has helped his posthumous album see the light of the day. NO FUE SUERTE includes “Fama” featuring Fuerza Regida and Montana’s long-awaited song “Perdón Mamá.”
Montana was signed to JOP’s Street Mob Records. On Feb. 7, 2024, Montana was found murdered near the Playas de Rosarito-Tijuana highway. According to Baja California attorney general María Elena Andrade, he was killed by a person who didn’t like a song he played at a party the night before. Over a year later, Street Mob Records has released Montana’s posthumous album NO FUE SUERTE.
“This album is a beautiful reminder that Chuy’s voice and heart will always live on,” Montana’s family shared in a statement. “We’re so grateful to Street Mob Records for believing in him and helping the world hear his soul.”
Fuerza Regida features on two songs on the album. “Fama” was originally a Montana solo song, but JOP and his band members hopped on the fiery corrido with GueroX. Fuerza Regida also jumped on the song “Sin Chingarme a Nadie.” Before his death, Montana featured on “Polvos de Chanel” from 2023’s Pa Las Baby’s y Belikeada.
“Every note, every word on this album carries Chuy’s spirit,” Montana’s family added. “Thank you to Street Mob Records and everyone who made this tribute possible. We are forever thankful.”
NO FUE SUERTE also includes Montana’s beloved song “Perdón Mamá,” which has finally been released in full. The heartfelt track features Juanpa Salazar. The music video is emotionally charged, depicting Salazar and others mourning the loss of Montana at a funeral. There are also past clips of Montana performing. The album also features Clave Especial and Calle 24 on “Cuadros Peruanos” and Armenta on “De Tijuana a Paris” as well.
