Jory Boy Returns with “Matando La Liga 2” A Powerful New Chapter in Latin Urban Music
Jory Boy is officially back and ready to reclaim his place at the top of the urban music scene with the release of his highly anticipated new album, Matando La Liga 2, under La Base Music Group, the label founded by reggaetón legend Wisin. The project features executive co-production by Hyde “El Químico”, known for shaping some of the genre’s most defining hits.
A Sequel to a Reggaetón Classic
A continuation of his influential 2015 project Matando La Liga, the new album pays homage to the era that helped define melodic reggaetón while introducing a modern, global sound. Across 19 tracks, Jory Boy fuses his signature romantic and street essence with innovative rhythms and rich production.
All-Star Collaborations
Matando La Liga 2 brings together some of the most powerful names in Latin urban music, including:
- Farruko – “Replay”
- Chencho Corleone – “Incorregible”
- Wisin – “Avísale”
- Jowell & Randy – “Quitipon”
- J Balvin – “QDMT”
- Caleb Calloway – “Máquina”
- Gotay “El Autentiko” & Ñengo Flow – “Combi Perfect”
The focus track “Replay” featuring Farruko is a nostalgic slow reggaetón anthem that revives the melodic DNA of the genre. Both the official single and music video premiered last night at 8:00 p.m. on Jory Boy’s YouTube channel and all major digital platforms.
Japanese Aesthetic Meets Urban Soul
The album artwork continues Jory’s fascination with Japanese culture, echoing the original Matando La Liga’s distinctive visuals. Although Jory Boy has yet to visit Japan, the country’s aesthetics and discipline deeply inspire his artistry. The cover’s bold design represents his vision of taking reggaetón global, blending cultures, art, and sound into one universal rhythm.
A Silent Pillar of Reggaetón
Born Fernando Luis Sierra Benítez, Jory Boy first gained fame as one half of the legendary duo Nova & Jory, pioneers of melodic reggaetón in the early 2010s. Their hits like “Bien Loco,” “Aprovecha” (with Daddy Yankee), and “La Noche Perfecta” helped define the genre’s golden era and set the tone for future stars.
After the duo’s separation, Jory Boy embarked on a successful solo career, developing a sound that balanced emotional depth with street credibility. His unique melodic flow and heartfelt lyrics have influenced a generation of artists, including Bad Bunny and Maluma, both of whom have cited Jory as an early inspiration.
Legacy and Evolution
For over a decade, Jory Boy has stood as a pillar of modern reggaetón, bridging the genre’s past and present. With Matando La Liga 2, he reaffirms his artistry, a blend of nostalgia, innovation, and lyrical authenticity that continues to resonate across borders and generations.
This release isn’t just a comeback; it’s a celebration of Jory Boy’s legacy and a reminder of why he remains one of the genre’s most respected voices.
