Thania Garcia Peso Pluma‘s “Éxodo” double album — the follow-up to the Mexican singer and rapper’s chart-topping debut, “Génesis” — has a long and thoughtfully curated guestlist. The 24-song effort packs a loaded story with characters ranging from bubblegum pop artist Kenia Os, who switches into reggaeton for a song called “Tommy & Pamela,” along with rap champion Cardi B, Brazilian phenom Anitta, Migos rapper Quavo singing in Spanish — and plenty more. When “Génesis,” with a title inspired by the first chapter of the Bible, was released in April 2023, the project propelled Peso’s career instantaneously.
His name and guitar and bass-brimming sound became synonymous with the growing impact of new-age Mexican music in various parts of the world. Over a year later, Peso has amassed extraordinary acclaim — his debut LP won best regional Mexican album at the 2024 Grammys and was the highest-charting regional Mexican record ever (No. 3) on the Billboard 200 chart — that he’s looking to double with his latest effort.
He’s also set out to build a bridge between the worlds of traditional corrido music and hip-hop. “‘Génesis’ was the beginning of a new era in Mexican music. It was just a monster, a big monster that came onto the global charts and took over,” Peso told Variety in a video interview.
“‘Génesis’ marked a before and after… I think ‘Éxodo’ is opening doors.” “Éxodo” is split into two discs, with one side being all música Mexicana songs, and the other being comprised of urbano and hip-hop or trap beats. The album was preceded by a number of singles that culminated to his and Rich the Kid’s “Gimme A Second,” lining up with the announcement that “Éxodo” would include rap songs. Peso’s quick-witted Spanish rhymes are tight

Andrew Barker Senior Features Writer Though she perished in a plane crash in 2012, Jenni Rivera is still changing the face of Mexican music. As the first genuine female superstar to emerge out of Mexico’s century-old banda genre, Rivera cut an entirely unique figure throughout the early 2000s, imbuing one of North America’s most male-dominated, storied music genres with a spirit that was unabashedly feminist and entirely modern.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Griffin Dunne‘s family has done so many larger-than-life, unbelievable things that when the actor-director-producer started to write his memoir “The Friday Afternoon Club: A Memoir of Family,” he realized it wasn’t enough to start the story with his complex writer father Dominick Dunne.
