Latin trap has evolved beyond its underground roots. What started as a niche sub genre blending reggaetón with the raw intensity of hip-hop has now become a global phenomenon. From Puerto Rico to New York, Medellín to Madrid, Latin trap is defining a new era of urban music. And among the voices shaping its next chapter is Erios, a rising Puerto Rican artist, songwriter, and producer who has steadily carved out his own lane in the industry.

After gaining recognition through collaborations with heavyweights like Young Miko, Neutro Shorty, Alvarito Díaz, Brray, and Dei V, Erios is stepping into the spotlight with his latest single, “Facial.” This track, set to release on February 27, 2025, is not just another Latin trap anthem—it’s a statement of intent. With hard-hitting beats, sharp lyricism, and relentless energy, ‘Facial’ sets the stage for what’s next: his upcoming EP, ‘Código Rojo.’

Erios: A Rising Star in Latin Trap

Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and raised in Carolina, Guillermo Xavier Hernández Rios—better known as Erios—has been surrounded by music his entire life. From a young age, he was immersed in the creative process, watching and learning from industry insiders. But unlike many artists who simply chase a hit, Erios is a creator at his core, perfecting his craft as a songwriter and producer before stepping fully into the spotlight as a performer.

His rise in the industry has been strategic and intentional. His ability to pen melodic yet streetwise lyrics and produce hard-hitting beats has earned him collaborations with some of the biggest names in the Latin urban scene. His breakthrough moment came when he was the only emerging artist to be featured on Brray’s album, with their track “Nada Formal” putting him on the radar of Latin trap fans worldwide.

Following that, his single “Conflicto” took off in Puerto Rico and Colombia, solidifying his name among the new wave of Latin trap innovators. Now, with “Facial,” Erios is making an impact, showing he’s more than just another artist.
