A long-overdue collaboration within the Dominican music scene, Natti Natasha kicks off 2021 teaming up with Prince Royce on “Antes Que Salga El Sol.” As opposed to what fans thought a collab would sound like between the two a romantic bachata Natti and Royce take a different route with a feel-good reggae-infused urban bop. The track, produced by DJ Luian, Mambo Kingz and Rafael Salcedo Neneto,” is about two people who are looking for a good time after reconnecting.
