It only took 45 seconds of "Un Tin," the new single from Payaso x Ley featuring Rowell Urban, for the snippet to go viral on social media, with dozens of users creating reels using that segment.

Released on April 20 under the Befocus Music label, produced by Ernesto Losa, the song has accumulated over 4.6 million views on YouTube and nearly 48,000 likes, establishing itself as one of the most talked-about releases from the Cuban talent this year.

The innovation that caused the stir is unprecedented within the genre: "Un Tin" opens with classic lyrical singing before exploding into pure reggaeton, a somewhat crazy fusion that no one expected.

The reactions came quickly. Aly Sánchez, Yoyi, and Preña Palma posted an explosive video on Instagram dancing to the song with their signature energy and wildness, while fans flooded the digital platforms with comments like “When I have to sing it live, we’ll see” and “I would go to Cuba just to see him in concert.”

The reach of the topic transcended even the usual audiences of the genre. A Cuban grandmother went viral dancing to the operatic section of "Un Tin," further amplifying the phenomenon.

The YouTuber Buuoy, who has an audience in Puerto Rico, reacted live to the topic on April 26 and was literally blown away by the antics of the Cuban artists.

After listening to the entire track, Buuoy acknowledged the result: "Honestly, I can imagine this song playing out there, getting people energized to dance and have a good time. It definitely sounds good."

After the premiere, the reality in Cuba is one: wherever you go, whether it's on the street, at the gym, or just on your phone, you only hear "Un Tin," and that is nothing less than a resounding success. Payaso x Ley and Rowell Urban hit a home run.
