Carolina, Puerto Rico | September 26, 2025 | Up and coming Latin trap artist Vale Pintos joins forces with Tutu on “Hoodie & Backpack”, a track that turns the aesthetics of Latin street fashion into a musical statement. Dropping September 26 via On Top Events LLC, the single fuses reggaetón, trap latino, and the energy of streetwear culture into a sexy and magnetic anthem.
Recorded during a six-day music camp at Trap House Latino Studios in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the track was created from a high-energy collaboration with Puerto Rican hitmaker Cauty and later came to life through Tutu’s manager connecting with Casper Mágico’s team. The result is a song that celebrates the crossover between style, hustle, and sensuality.
“Hoodie & Backpack” plays with iconic images of hoodies, LV backpacks, and the codes of trap culture – symbols of rebellion, ambition, and identity. Vale Pintos brings her signature feminine fire, portraying a fearless, self-assured woman.
“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 is the first time that he records with a female” – Vale Pintos
Born in Miami and raised in Cali, Colombia, Vale Pintos grew up surrounded by folklore, classical music, and Latin dance. Now based in Puerto Rico, she has quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in the Latin scene, blending reggaetón, trap, dancehall, and rap with fiery female energy.
Since her debut in 2021 with “Me Cansé de Ti,” Vale has steadily built momentum with tracks like “Bloquié el Cora,” “Playlist,” “Most Wanted,” and her recent summer hits “Tabla” (with Papi Sousa) and “Dime A Vel” (with DIA and Green Cookie). Signed to On Top Events LLC in May 2025, Vale has announced a new single every month leading up to her debut EP, slated for February 2026.
With “Hoodie & Backpack,” Vale Pintos and Tutu deliver a collaboration that’s sexy, street-authentic and globally ambitious.
