While Bad Bunny has obtained reward and awards for “Un Verano Sin Ti,” it is all the time been in the musica urbana class. For far too lengthy now we have seen rappers, reggaetoneros, and different city artists of coloration solely obtain excessive awards particularly in city music classes, as if their work wasn’t adequate for Artist of the Year or Album of the Year awards.
