Daddy Yankee Announces 13th Album LA POSTAL, Shares Lead Single «BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez)»
Daddy Yankee will release his 13th studio album, LA POSTAL, on October 30 via DY Music, with a 15-track set and a lead single, «BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez),» accompanied by a music video directed by STILLZ.
Daddy Yankee has announced his 13th studio album, «LA POSTAL,» set for release on October 30 through DY Music. The Puerto Rican reggaeton pioneer also shared the album's lead single, «BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez),» along with a music video directed by STILLZ.
The upcoming record spans 15 tracks and is described as a significant new chapter for the artist. The announcement places Daddy Yankee back at the center of the reggaeton and Latin music conversation, a position he has occupied for decades as one of the genre's defining figures.
The lead single arrives with a visual component directed by STILLZ, a filmmaker known for a stylized, contemporary approach to music videos. The pairing of Daddy Yankee with a director associated with current pop and internet-era aesthetics suggests the project is aiming to bridge the artist's foundational reggaeton sound with present-day visual culture.
«LA POSTAL» marks Daddy Yankee's 13th studio album, a milestone that underscores his longevity in a genre that has transformed dramatically since his early releases. As a Puerto Rican artist, he has been central to reggaeton's rise from a regional Caribbean movement to a global commercial force, and each new album from him carries weight for both longtime fans and the broader Latin music industry.
The release through DY Music gives the project an independent label home, a structure that has become increasingly common for established artists seeking greater control over their catalog and release strategy. The October 30 date places the album in a busy fall release window, when labels often position major projects ahead of year-end charts and awards consideration.
Details about the album's full tracklist, featured guests, and production credits have not been fully revealed. The announcement of «BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez)» as the first single gives listeners an initial sense of the album's direction, while the 15-track scope indicates a substantial body of work rather than a short EP-style release.
Daddy Yankee's career has included some of the most recognizable songs in Latin music history, and his moves tend to be watched closely by fans, critics, and industry observers alike. The arrival of a new album is therefore not just a music release but a cultural event, one that will be measured against a catalog that helped define the sound of a generation.
For now, the focus is on «BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez)» and its video, which serve as the first public taste of «LA POSTAL.» With the album due October 30, the coming weeks will likely bring further details about the project and its rollout. The combination of a veteran reggaeton star, a 15-track album, and a visually driven lead single positions «LA POSTAL» as one of the fall's more closely watched Latin music releases.
