Editor's note

Arcángel's gritty reggaeton and Puerto Rican roots

From early duo work to solo albums, his straightforward approach has kept him in the conversation.

For his sound, 'Me Acostumbré' is a good place to start. The Bad Bunny collab 'La Jumpa' shows where he fits now.

Arcángel's music feels grounded in the Puerto Rican reggaeton scene that was taking shape in the early 2000s. Songs like 'Batman En Can Am' have that direct, unpolished energy that became his signature. His collaboration with Bad Bunny on 'La Jumpa' shows he's still part of the current wave, even after a long run.

He started around 2002 in Puerto Rico, first as part of Arcángel & De La Ghetto. Going solo in 2008 with 'El Fenómeno' set the tone for albums like 'El Soldado' and 'La Maravilla'. A 2018 arrest led to a break, but he's been back recording and performing since.

Archive material and source history

José Ángel López Martínez, who performs as Arcángel, started making music in Puerto Rico around 2002. He was part of the duo Arcángel & De La Ghetto before going solo in 2008 with his debut album "El Fenómeno." That record established his approach, which leans toward gritty, straightforward reggaeton.

He's put out several albums since, including "El Soldado," "La Maravilla," and "Sentimiento, Elegancia & Maldad." Some of his more recognizable tracks are "Batman En Can Am," "Por Amar a Ciegas," and "Me Acostumbré." He also collaborated with Bad Bunny on the song "La Jumpa."

In 2018, Arcángel was arrested for marijuana possession and driving under the influence. The incident led to a break from music for a while. He's since returned to recording and performing.
