Songfacts®:

  • "La People II" is a narcocorrido by Peso Pluma in collaboration with Tito Double P and Joel de la P. The track is a sequel to Peso Pluma and Tito Double P's "La People," which the pair released in June 2023 on the former's album Génesis.
  • The lyrics suggest the singers are high-ranking members of a criminal organization who have faced various confrontations with law enforcement ("verdes," "blancos," "azules" likely refer to different police or military forces).
  • Peso Pluma references two renowned hitmen: '"El 27" and '"El Piyi." The first is Jorge Humberto Figueroa Benítez, known in the world of drug trafficking as "El 27." He has emerged as the successor to "El Nini" within the Sinaloa Cartel structure.

    The second is "El Piyi" whose identity is a mystery. He almost always wears a balaclava that leaves his face anonymous.

    It's important to note that narcocorridos often portray a romanticized view of organized crime and violence. While the song offers glimpses into this world, it doesn't necessarily depict reality.
  • Singer-songwriters Tito Double P and Joel De La P are both signed to Peso Pluma's Double P Records. Tito Double P is also Peso Pluma's cousin and one of his songwriting collaborators. He co-wrote Peso Pluma's Hot 100-charting collaborative singles "PRC" (with Natanael Cano) and "Chanel" (with Becky G).
  • The song debuted on the Hot 100 at #69 on the chart dated April 6, 2024. It earned Peso Pluma his 27th career entry on the Hot 100 in 14 months, dating to his debut entry in February 2023 with "AMG."
