The Puerto Rican reggaeton rapper conquered the mainstream in 2018 as a featured guest, alongside J Balvin, on Cardi B’s chart-topping Latin trap triumph, “I Like It,” and then built on that momentum with the Drake-assisted Top 5 single “Mia” from “X 100pre.”

April concert guide for Phoenix: What you need to know about this month’s top shows
“You’ve got to get needles in arms. I just want to play shows. Politics’ job is to divide — that’s how you win elections. Those things that unite us are music and sports. The times when, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or whatever, you throw your arm around the person next to you. We need that. I need that.”
Church will appear in an upcoming PSA promoting vaccine education, produced by ACM Lifting Lives, the Ad Council and COVID Collaborative.
That ad premiered during the ACM Awards broadcast on Sunday, April 18, where Church also performed a song off his forthcoming “Heart & Soul” triple album project.
“Heart” was released Friday, April 16, and “Soul” was due to be released on Friday, April 23, with “&” made available exclusively to the Church Choir on Tuesday, April 20.
