Rococo is Gabito Ballesteros and Óscar Maydon’s swagger-packed anthem about leveling up. The singers announce that last season was only a test run; this time they are here to win, armed with sharp wit, heavy artillery and a crew that runs a “bien organizado” operation. From name-checking the SCAR rifle to brushing off police stops, the lyrics paint a picture of fearless mobility and unstoppable ambition, wrapped in the bold sound of Mexico’s modern corridos.
The title morphs into “rocoquito,” street slang for perico (cocaine), hinting at the illicit trade that fuels their rise. Money becomes the new zodiac sign—“antes era Aries… ahora mi signo es el dólar”—showing that fortune, not fate, guides their path. Amid toasts to fallen friends and a blunt dismissal of rivals, the song celebrates resilience, loyalty and the thrill of living on the edge, all delivered with infectious bravado that pulls listeners straight into the high-stakes world of these northern troubadours.
