Background and singles

edit

Arcángel told Billboard Español that he had plans release an EP in November 2021, but would eventually be scrapped after hearing about the death of his brother, Justin Santos, who died in a car accident at the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge.[1] A year after his death, Arcángel and his mother, Carmen Rosas, visited the bridge and designated it a new name, the Justin Santos Bridge.[2] He released "JS4E" as a tribute, on November 21, 2022, along with its accompanying music video.[3] He announced Sr. Santos in late November 2022, with the addition of the single "La Jumpa" with fellow collaborator Bad Bunny; the former was stated to be dedicated to his brother.[4][5][6]
