TroyBoi’s Latin-influenced EP, ‘INFLUENDO,’ takes shape with ‘Ninguém Dorme’
TroyBoi‘s next EP is a melange of Latin influence born from his “love” of Latin music, the culture, his travels across Latin America, and, more locally, his experiences as a Miami resident for the past five years. The forthcoming project, appropriately titled INFLUENDO (“influenced”) takes initial form with “Ninguém Dorme,” Portugese for “nobody sleeps.” The beat-heavy single administers a heady dose of TroyBoi sound, intermingled with Latin elements. On the spry, charged-up number, TroyBoi reconvenes with Tropkillaz, deepening his serial collaboratorship with the Brazilian production pair comprising DJ Zegon and Laudz. Brazil’s MC Lan, memorable for his presence on 2019’s “Malokera,” with TroyBoi, Skrillex, LUDMILLA, and Ty Dolla $ign, also contributes to “Ninguém Dorme.”
It’s worth noting that neither INFLUENDO nor “Ninguém Dorme” is TroyBoi’s first time taking inspiration from his surroundings. In May 2021, the trap pioneer dispensed “Inspirado En Mexico,” a Flamenco guitar-accented original through which he paid homage to Cabo San Lucas. INFLUENDO is scheduled to hit streaming platforms later in September, but the trip begins below, no passport required.
