Bizarrap is undoubtedly one of the most groundbreaking artists of the decade, or even of this century, considering his overflowing talent and unique ability to bring a producer’s role to the forefront, a role historically overshadowed when it comes to single releases in the industry. The meaning of his name hints at his connection to urban genres, as the Argentine has produced various tracks in hip-hop, rap, trap, reggaeton, cumbia, and even reggae. However, that could change following his recent name change: Bizapop.
A new nickname that Bizarrap himself has shared prominently in his stories. But what does this mean? Could it be that after contributing to elevating urban genres to new heights, Biza wants to surprise us with a significant shift and produce for pop superstars? Well, we’re definitely on board with this idea.
The Artist Behind an Upcoming Collab
In fact, social media hasn’t taken long to speculate, and many have thought the same as us. A new collaboration is coming! The question now is, with whom? His fans are pointing to Lali, one of the most prominent pop stars in the Argentine scene, as a possible collaboration. Meanwhile, significant outlets like Pop Base reported that insiders had revealed that the Argentine might be about to release a session with BTS’ Jimin, something that fits perfectly, by the way.
On the other hand, it’s worth remembering that at the 2023 MTV VMAs, the current global pop queen, Taylor Swift, vibed, jumped, and danced to the «BZRP Music Sessions» by Shakira during her iconic performance that had the whole world talking. Bizarrap noticed Taylor’s reaction and was delighted to share it online. Can you imagine a collaboration between Taylor and Biza? We’re floored just thinking about it.
Another possibility that various accounts have considered is an upcoming session with Belinda, one of the sensations of pop in Mexico, as the artist started following the Argentine just a few hours ago.
The truth is, we can’t wait to find out what Biza has prepared for us, knowing that he has great versatility to adapt and explore any style that will leave no one indifferent.
