The cousins ended their DINASTÍA tour in Chicago, where fans connected with the music through identity, ambition, and culture.
Thousands of fans filled the United Center May 7–9 as Peso Pluma and Tito Double P closed out their DINASTÍA tour with three sold-out Chicago shows. The audience sang along word-for-word, and many wore black, mirroring Tito and Peso’s aesthetic during the concert. The crowds reflected the broad reach of música Mexicana across generations of Latino listeners in Chicago.
With artists such as Swae Lee, Ivan Cornejo, and Feid joining them as special guests, the concert highlighted the duo’s growing influence across Latin music. Swae Lee performed “Black Beatles,” Ivan Cornejo joined Peso for “Reloj,” and Feid performed “Luna." This mix of artists created a diverse experience that introduced new sounds to fans of música Mexicana.
Música Mexicana is a genre that includes regional Mexican styles such as corridos tumbados and banda. It has expanded beyond traditional audiences and gained mainstream popularity in recent years.

Through their joint project, DINASTÍA, Peso, and Tito Double P explore themes of legacy, ambition, and perseverance, connecting with fans who see themselves reflected in the music.
Many fans took selfies, waved Mexican flags, and chanted Peso Pluma’s name around the arena. For younger fans especially, música Mexicana reflects individuality, preservation, and belonging, helping corridos tumbados (or trap corridos) reach wider audiences.
In a city where nearly 30% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, Peso Pluma and Tito Double P’s music continues to resonate across generations.
Juancarlos Pina, who attended Friday’s show, said the album reminded him of his time boxing. “The album makes you really hyped up,” Pina said. “Especially since I used to box back then, it gives me that feeling again.” Songs like “La People” and “Dopamine,” with their fast-paced production and heavy bass, drew some of the loudest crowd reactions of the night.
Another fan, Ernesto Jose Rodriguez, said he feels connected to the music because of its emotional honesty and relatability. Rodriguez said seeing Peso Pluma and Tito Double P perform in Chicago felt meaningful because of the city’s large Latino population and shared connection to música Mexicana. “I see him as a singer with a great influence in the world of music above all, and I feel connected with the lyrics,” Rodriguez said.
At one point, Peso Pluma became emotional while reflecting on his journey and encouraged fans to believe they could build a better future for themselves, regardless of where they came from. Toward the end of the concert, Peso Pluma told fans he hoped to take the tour to stadiums next year.
Peso Pluma has more than 47 million monthly listeners, according to Spotify, helping push corridos tumbados further into mainstream music spaces. Peso Pluma, whose real name is Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, rose to international fame after “Ella Baila Sola” became one of the highest-charting regional Mexican songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
Before launching his solo career, Tito Double P collaborated with Peso as a songwriter on tracks including “PRC,” “AMG,” and “El Belicón”. He later pursued his own music career. Together, the cousins have become two of the most recognizable names in contemporary música Mexicana.
With just 14 tracks, their album DINASTÍA debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, another sign of the genre’s mainstream reach.
Their music reminds listeners that where they come from can remain part of who they become.
