Latin trap is experiencing a global renaissance, and at the heart of this movement is Reyan Quality, an emerging artist from Puerto Rico who is making waves not only as a performer but also as one of the industry’s sought-after songwriters. Born Bryan Omar Santiago Valentín, better known by his stage name Reyan Quality, the Mayagüez-native is proving that the new wave of Latin trap is here to stay—and he’s leading it.
From Songwriter to Frontline Artist
Before stepping into the spotlight, Reyan built his reputation behind the scenes, penning tracks for some of the biggest names in Latin urban music. His songwriting credits include collaborations with icons such as Dalex, Arcángel, Yandel, Randy, J Balvin, and Omar Courtz. His ability to create lyrics that blend street authenticity with commercial appeal made him a go-to composer for reggaeton and Latin trap heavyweights.
However, Reyan was not content to remain behind the scenes. Fueled by ambition and armed with a deep understanding of urban music, he transitioned from songwriter to recording artist, quickly gaining recognition for his fresh voice and distinctive storytelling.
The Rise of Reyan Quality: Recent Releases
In the past year, Reyan Quality has made it clear that he is here to claim his space among the new leaders of Latin trap. His latest singles, “Urban Outfitters,” “FJG,” and “Fetty Wap,” showcase his versatility, raw talent, and deep connection to the culture.
“Urban Outfitters” ft. Brray This bilingual trap anthem captures Reyan’s real-life experiences as a young artist hustling through the streets of Miami while working in retail. The song, featuring Brray, one of Puerto Rico’s prominent trap voices, delivers a mix of street wisdom and ambition, resonating with listeners who understand the struggle behind the hustle.
“FJG” ft. Brray & Erios Released under the L-O-N (Las Ovejas Negras) collective, “FJG” is an explosive club anthem that embraces the darker and more ambitious side of trap. Produced by Hydro, the song is inspired by the symbolism of high-denomination U.S. dollar bills—Franklin, Jackson, and Grant—representing power, success, and luxury. With heavy 808s and hard-hitting verses from Reyan, Brray, and Erios, “FJG” is quickly becoming a street favorite.
“Fetty Wap” Reyan’s latest solo single, “Fetty Wap,” further solidifies his artistic identity. The track combines cinematic production, a signature of his evolving sound, with lyrics about ambition, resilience, and the ever-present grind of street life. It’s a powerful representation of the new direction Reyan is taking as he preps for his upcoming EP, “Touchdown.”
