Blessd, Myke Towers, and Ovy on the Drums are ready to be the next “global trend,” or “Teendencia Global,” in the new video for their collaboration.
The video, which dropped Friday, is full of clips of the three artists singing the track’s catchy lyrics while riding on a couch around Blessd’s Medellín, Colombia. In some scenes, the stars sing from sandy beaches, while Blessd rocks a Los Angeles jersey while riding a bike on a beat-up runner’s track.
“I’m going to get there and steal you/If you sang, you’d be a global trend,” sings Blessd in Spanish on the signature reggaetón beat. “Even women want to try/I let her travel private like Pablo Escobar.”

Then he held up a pair of glasses and called out again until someone felt their way forward from the masses to regain their sight. The group’s frontman, Antti Boman, just looked out bewildered and pleased from the front of the stage as New Yorkers came together to help each other and rock out on a Thursday night. It was a celebration.
