Known for injecting his corridos with plenty of passion and attitude, he is surprisingly soft-spoken when he adds, speaking in Spanish: \u201cIt means a lot for me to sing to people with music from my project. I never imagined that we would be able to do everything that we\u2019re doing now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Net\u00f3n Vega is in high demand. After co-writing hits for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2024\/06\/peso-pluma-exodo-interview\/\">Peso Pluma<\/a>, the rising Mexican star is making his mark as an artist in his own right and, not surprisingly, people are taking notice. Vega is not only pushing the corridos movement forward, he is also infusing genres like reggaeton and hip-hop with Mexican slang and swagger. But regardless of genre or language, he is one of this year\u2019s biggest breakout acts that is now preparing for his first <a href=\"https:\/\/netonvega.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/foo-fighters-minor-threat-cover\/\">Foo Fighters Reveal 80-Second Minor Threat Cover<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/kendrick-tyler-nas-clipse-album\/\">Kendrick, Tyler, Nas Jump Aboard Clipse Comeback Album<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/fishbone-still-have-a-bone-to-pick\/\">Fishbone Still Have a Bone to Pick<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Copia-de-0V9A6851.jpg\" alt=\"(Credit: Rogelio Trapero)\" class=\"wp-image-467349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Copia-de-0V9A6851.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Copia-de-0V9A6851-340x205.jpg 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Copia-de-0V9A6851-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/Copia-de-0V9A6851-498x301.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Credit: Rogelio Trapero)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vega hails from Culiac\u00e1n, Sinaloa, and grew up on the songs of the m\u00fasica Mexicana pioneers and rebels that came before him: Chalino S\u00e1nchez, Ariel Camacho, Alfredo Olivas, and Gerardo Ortiz. What sets him apart from many of his corridos peers is that he also listened to rap from Mexico and the U.S., citing Cartel de Santa and Tupac Shakur as inspirations. \u201cEven though I don\u2019t understand much English, I really like hip-hop,\u201d Vega says. \u201cI always try to listen to a lot of different types of music and I believe that mix of genres comes through in my music. It\u2019s something that I do in my own way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before headlining his own tour, Vega first emerged in the m\u00fasica Mexicana scene as a songwriter. What started out as a hobby suddenly became his career when Peso Pluma showed interest in \u201cRubicon\u201d and \u201cLa People,\u201d both songs penned by Vega that ended up on Peso\u2019s Grammy-winning album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2023\/06\/peso-pluma-genesis-album-review\/\"><em>G\u00e9nesis<\/em><\/a>. Vega was introduced to Peso thanks to his friendship with his cousin, Tito Double P. Since then, the 22-year-old Vega has written for and frequently collaborated with Peso and Tito and they returned the favor on his debut album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/best-albums-of-2025-so-far\/\"><em>Mi Vida Mi Muerte<\/em><\/a>, which was released in February. Peso features on Vega\u2019s fiery corrido \u201cMorena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeso and Tito were both a great source of support for my album,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve also helped them with their albums, and between us, that\u2019s what we always do. We also give each other a hand. There\u2019s always support and unity among us. I have a great relationship with them on a personal and professional level.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178.jpg\" alt=\"(Credit: Rogelio Trapero)\" class=\"wp-image-467302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178-340x510.jpg 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/06\/LEADNV_Que-Motor_All-DSPs_178-498x747.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Credit: Rogelio Trapero)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Mi Vida Mi Muerte<\/em> is the top-selling m\u00fasica Mexicana in the U.S. this year. Vega infused corridos with his hip-hop edge and flexed his rap skills in the slick title track. He has also shown that his talent isn\u2019t tied to just m\u00fasica Mexicana with the success of the playful reggaeton banger \u201cLoco.\u201d While the Caribbean-rooted genre is still a new frontier for Mexican artists, Vega scored a second <em>perreo<\/em> smash with Mexican rapper Alem\u00e1n in the alluring \u201cTe Quer\u00eda Ver.\u201d \u201cI do corridos and Alem\u00e1n does hip-hop, so I suggested that we had to do something that was different for both of us and to get out of our comfort zone,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe explosion of \u2018Loco\u2019 is <em>bien loco<\/em> [very crazy],\u201d Vega adds with a laugh. \u201cWe made that song without knowing if it would work out because reggaeton wasn\u2019t one of my strengths, but people loved it and made it go viral. Now that people have accepted me making reggaeton music, I\u2019m going to keep it going.

At the same time, he has been holed up in recording studios to work on collaborations with other artists.
