Bizarrap Taps Rising Dominican Rapper Lismar for Pair of Songs: ‘She’s the Future’

Bizarrap Taps Rising Dominican Rapper Lismar for Pair of Songs: ‘She’s the Future’

Bizarrap is highlighting the future of Latin rap with his newest Music Session collaboration. On Wednesday night, the Argentine producer released  “Vol. 60″ of the series, alongside “Subió La Temperatura,” alongside rising Dominican rapper Lismar.

The producer debuted the pair of songs onstage during Biza’s Terminal 5 show Wednesday night. “I just released a song a few minutes ago. Are you ready to hear it for the first time live or not?!” Biza told the crowd, per Billboard. “I brought a special guest. Her name is Lismar from the Dominican Republic. We didn’t just release one song, we released two!”


“She is only 18, she is the future,” he added.

Bizarrap teased the new collaborations — also titled “Yo Soy La Moda” — with the short film BZRP.ai, which captured the producer entering a kooky office building, where executives ask Bizarrap to make his next Music Session with artificial intelligence. “With AI, you can make music with whoever: Taylor, Justin, Dua,” says the exec before playing a fake song, seemingly with Dua Lipa’s voice.

An upset Bizarrap blows up, confronting the executive and lighting the AI lab on fire. Then, at the end of the video, he discovers Lismar rapping fiery bars after putting on a set of broken VR lenses.

In the lyrics to “Subió la Temperatura,” Lismar drags the rise of the computerized musical approach in the last year. “I have the only voice that artificial intelligence cannot duplicate, I have no peer, one of a kind,” she raps in Spanish. “I’m the umpire, I’m catching these rappers off base.”

Throughout his now-60 sessions, Biza’s shining production has highlighted Latina rappers, aiding in some of their biggest hits. Among his standout Music Sessions have been stars such as Snow Tha Product, Villano Antillano, Ptazeta, and Nathy Peluso.

The pair of songs with Lismar follows his two tracks with corrido tumbado pioneer Natanael Cano, with whom he dropped “Entre Las de 20” and “Vol. 59.” Bizarrap is also set to perform at Sueños Music Festival in Chicago this weekend.

As for Lismar, the Dominican rapper is a relative newcomer after releasing just a handful of singles over the last several years, including “Delincuente con Traje,” “Nota,” and “Modo Avión.”

Billy Joel Stopped Writing Songs Because He Didn’t Want to ‘Dilute’ His Legacy

It’s been more than three decades since Billy Joel released his last rock album, 1993’s critically acclaimed River of Dreams. The prolific songwriter has put down his pen since then, and in a recent interview, shared that it was because he didn’t want to “dilute” his legacy.

When speaking to fellow musician Rick Beato, Joel said that after releasing River of Dreams, he “felt like I was done.” “I was married [to Christie Brinkley], I had a child. I didn’t want to lock myself in a cave and devote myself like a monk to writing anymore,” he continued. He added that after making 12 albums, he thought, “‘You know what? The Beatles had 12 albums.’ And that was just enough for me.”

David Bowie’s Rare Recordings From 1965 With Shel Talmy Will Finally Be Released

A new compilation collects recordings David Bowie made in 1965, before he was famous with the already-famous producer Shel Talmy. Talmy had made a name for himself a couple of years earlier producing hits for the Kinks (“You Really Got Me,” “Tired of Waiting for You”), the Who (“I Can’t Explain”), and Chad and Jeremy (“A Summer Song”), so it made sense that Bowie (still using his real name, Davie Jones) would want to record his bands (variously known as the Lower Third and the Mannish Boys) with Talmy. The comp, The Shel Talmy Recordings, due Sept. 18, collects what Bowie was known to have recorded with the producer, sessions that occasionally featured Jimmy Page on guitar and Nicky Hopkins on piano.

Ekko Astral Say Goodbye, For Now

Just two years ago, D.C. punk band Ekko Astral felt on top of the world. Their debut album, Pink Balloons, struck a chord with young Americans watching the 2024 election unfold into a repeat nightmare, and made waves well beyond their local scene; it was sad, hilarious, and invigorating, all at the same time. Ekko’s success landed them opening slots for Jeff Rosenstock and PUP, then sent them back in the studio to make a new record they called The Beltway is Burning. They didn’t know how to make sense of it all. All they knew was that it felt awesome.

How Big Is Ella Langley Right Now? She’s About to Tie Whitney and Mariah

What do Ella Langley, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey have in common? If “Choosin’ Texas” holds its seemingly unstoppable momentum on the Billboard Hot 100, it will be the number 14: that is, the three artists will tie as the only women to have a song spend 14 weeks on top of the chart. For Carey, it was “We Belong Together”; for Houston, “I Will Always Love You.” (Only Carey’s consummate holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has reigned longer, with 22 weeks.)

Right now, Langley shares a spot with Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” which also reigned for 13 weeks back in 1998 — and which, like “Choosin’ Texas,” is also about two women battling over the same man.
