Watch Peso Pluma discuss the artists he chose
In a Rolling Stone interview presented in Tomás Mier’s March 28, 2024 Yahoo Entertainment feature, Peso Pluma describes what excites him about emerging artists and music’s changing genres. He says, “The future of music is very exciting because there are so many young artists that haven’t come to light yet,” and adds, “All the genres are evolving, and music is changing every day. That makes me excited: A lot of good music is on the way.”

He frames his choices as encouragement for young performers: “I am planting a seed in young talent to encourage them to do what they like, so no one tells them what to do.” These comments and the artist descriptions below are attributed to Pluma through the Rolling Stone interview as reported by Mier.

- Ryan Castro: The Colombian artist was part of many of Pluma’s “drunken nights,” he said, emphasizing the importance of recognizing artists who helped him. The feature also notes Castro welcomed Pluma for a verse on “Quema” in 2023.
- Yovngchimi: The Puerto Rican reggaetón and Latin trap artist was called “the new face of trap in Puerto Rico.”
- Saiko: Described as a Spanish artist, Saiko was praised for his hits and potential. Pluma said, “He has tremendous hits, yet he is so young and can grow so much.”
- Jasiel Nuñez: The only Mexican music artist named among the selections in the extract, Nuñez is described as Pluma’s friend and a Double P Records signee.
What the interview says about Pluma’s picks
The four names reflect different personal reasons rather than a published ranking: gratitude for Castro’s past influence, recognition of Yovngchimi’s place in Puerto Rican trap, belief in Saiko’s room to develop, and a personal and professional connection with Nuñez. The feature presents Pluma’s choices as part of a wider interest in young talent and music in flux, not as a complete guide to all 25 Future 25 artists.
