The new eight-part series follows three friends who move from their small town in Florida to Miami. Why? Well, they\u2019re hoping to conquer the world of reggaeton, one of the most popular musical genres in the world.<\/p>\n
But when they make the big move, the friends are soon confronted by the fact that music industry is harsh.<\/p>\n
Yet that doesn\u2019t mean the series is without its share of laughs and light-hearted moments, as well as a catchy soundtrack full of reggaeton tunes to listen to long after.<\/p>\n
In fact, the show is executive produced by the well-known reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee, who is arguably the king of the genre.<\/p>\n
The cast is led by Tyler Dean Flores, Emma Ferreira, Jordan Mendoza and Courtney Taylor, but who do they play in the series? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>
