Carolina, Puerto Rico | September 26, 2025 — The Latin trap world is catching fire once again as Vale Pintos, one of the most promising new voices in the genre, unleashes her latest single “Hoodie & Backpack” in collaboration with Puerto Rican sensation Tutu. Dropping September 26 via On Top Events LLC, this high-octane track transforms the aesthetics of Latin street fashion into a bold, musical statement — fusing reggaetón, trap latino, and the pulse of streetwear culture into an irresistible anthem that radiates confidence, sensuality, and power.
Recorded during an intensive six-day music camp at Trap House Latino Studios in Carolina, Puerto Rico, “Hoodie & Backpack” was born from an explosion of creativity and collaboration. The track’s foundation began with Cauty, one of Puerto Rico’s top hitmakers, and was later elevated when Tutu’s manager connected with Casper Mágico’s team, marking a pivotal moment in Vale Pintos’ rapidly rising career.
“Tutu, at only 18 years old, is one of the Latin trap artists with the most followers in Puerto Rico, the birthplace of Latin trap and where I live. This collaboration with Tutu broke to another level — it’s the first time he records with a female,” says Vale Pintos, emphasizing the cultural and personal importance of this partnership.
At its core, “Hoodie & Backpack” celebrates the crossover between style, hustle, and sensuality, paying tribute to the symbols of trap culture—hoodies, designer backpacks, and the unapologetic energy of the streets. Vale Pintos delivers her trademark feminine fire, embodying a fearless, self-assured woman who owns her image and her art.
Born in Miami and raised in Cali, Colombia, Vale Pintos grew up immersed in the rhythms of folklore, classical music, and Latin dance. Now based in Puerto Rico, she’s carving her name among the most exciting new voices in the Latin music scene. Her sound — a sleek, genre-blending mix of reggaetón, trap, dancehall, and rap — captures the essence of a new generation of women in Latin music: bold, versatile, and unapologetically authentic.
Since her 2021 debut “Me Cansé de Ti,” Vale has been on an upward trajectory, winning hearts with tracks like “Bloquié el Cora,” “Playlist,” “Most Wanted,” and her summer bangers “Tabla” (with Papi Sousa) and “Dime A Vel” (with DIA and Green Cookie). After officially signing with On Top Events LLC in May 2025, she’s been releasing a steady stream of hits — with a new single dropping every month leading up to her debut EP scheduled for February 2026.
With “Hoodie & Backpack,” Vale Pintos and Tutu deliver a collaboration that’s seductive, street-authentic, and globally ambitious — the kind of track that doesn’t just move bodies, but defines an era. Vale’s fierce energy and vision prove she’s not just a rising artist — she’s a force rewriting the rules of Latin trap.
