Becky G has dropped a music video for her cover of “Bella Ciao,” the unofficial anthem for hit Netflix series Money Heist (also known as La Casa de Papel). The video, directed by Megan Gamez, pays homage to the series.
“I have always loved La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) and the way this show connected with millions of people across the world,” Becky G said in a statement. “‘Bella Ciao’ is an iconic song and marks an important moment in the series, so being asked to reimagine it and be a part of the Casa de Papel world is truly an honor. From recording the song to shooting the video, I hope everyone enjoys this cover as much as I do!”
“Bella Ciao” recently re-entered the pop culture zeitgeist as the unofficial anthem for Money Heist. The song originates from 19th century Italy and first appeared in “Part 1” of the show. “Part 5: Volume 2,” the finale of the series, premieres on Netflix on Dec. 3.
Last month, Becky G teamed up with Christina Aguilera, Nathy Peluso, and Nicki Nicole for a Latina-empowered performance of “Pa Mis Muchachas” at the Latin Grammys. Earlier this year, she partnered with Burna Boy for a thumping collaboration, “Rotate.”

Aesop Rock raps like not many others can and he's asking outsiders to "Send Help" for those that can't on his latest single. Well, he's not actually doing that, but he's definitely lyrically stunting on everyone on it. It's the second offering from his next thematic adventure, Black Hole Superette.
It's due out on May 30 and will try to successfully follow up on his 2023 masterclass that is Integrated Tech Solutions. This will then end his longest drought of not dropping a project in nearly a decade. From 2016 until 2019 was the length of that gap. However, he did make a soundtrack all by himself in 2017 for the film Bushwick.
The other track that Aesop Rock treated us to was "Checkers" back in early April. Black Hole Superette "delves into the invisible forces that shape our lives and psyches. It’s about the small, often overlooked moments—the everyday experiences that blur the lines between the real and the unreal, waking and sleeping."
If there's anyone who can make the mundane feel interesting and intricate, it's Aesop Rock. But as we alluded to earlier, "Send Help" feels more like one big rhyme flex. But it's done with needlepoint precision. "Pigeon on my shoulder like a goth Rio / The putdown Picasso here to un-massage the ego / I'm friend or foe depending on the content in your keynote / And not above the lobbing of a rotten tomatillo." Spin it below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Whodunnits and cozy mysteries, who stole the crypt keys
Who showed the minions to the minced meat, it was me
Hut-hut, helmet off, blitz the whole bitstream
Override the A/V in, with A/V out the in-between
IV in, one of Epi, onе of Ralph Steadman
Phoebe Judgе, EPMD, The Amazing Kreskin
