“Billetes De 100” is a high-energy victory lap where J Balvin and Myke Towers toast to the sweet smell of success. The chorus repeats the love affair with billetes de cien (hundred-dollar bills), comparing their growing stacks of cash to Jesus multiplying fish. It is a playful, almost mythic image that says, “We turned a little into a lot.” Both artists look back on leaner days, then boast about closing big deals, driving the most expensive cars, and treating their loved ones to the life they deserve.
Beneath the swagger there is a cautionary edge. Balvin name-drops Judas to remind us that not everyone who smiles is a friend, while Towers warns rivals not to test him. References to Don Quijote, Sylvester Stallone, and salsa legend Willie Colón add color and Latin pop-culture flavor, but the core message is simple: work hard, stay sharp, celebrate loud. The song invites listeners to vibe with its catchy beat, feel that rush of hard-won triumph, and dream about multiplying their own green bills.
José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, known as J Balvin, is a pioneering Colombian reggaeton singer born in Medellín in 1985. Bursting onto the music scene in 2004, Balvin is recognized as one of the best-selling Latin artists with over 35 million records sold worldwide.
Known for hits like "6 AM," "Ay Vamos," and "Mi Gente," he has transformed reggaeton into a global phenomenon while staying true to his Spanish roots. J Balvin's eclectic style blends urbano, Latin pop, and trap, influenced by rock legends like Metallica and Nirvana, as well as icons like Daddy Yankee.
With multiple Latin Grammy Awards and Billboard Latin Music Awards under his belt, Balvin continues to break records — becoming the first Latino to headline major music festivals such as Coachella. His vibrant music and fashion make him a standout figure, dedicated to spreading Latin music worldwide.
