BAD BUNNY x JHAY CORTEZ – DÁKITI (Video Oficial)

The classic track DÁKITI by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Jhay Cortez and fellow Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.

Since it’s sung in Spanish, it’s a great recommendation for fans of Chicano rap.

The chill track is perfect for July, the start of summer, so be sure to check it out.
