Miami, FL – September 4, 2026 – DIA joins Derek Santana and Fabriell on “VENDALI,” the first release from NSLM (Nosotros Somos Los Mejores), a new movement bringing the three Puerto Rican voices together under a shared vision. Built around a dark, hard-hitting trap production, the single launches this new chapter with bravado, confidence and an attitude that needs little explanation.
On “VENDALI,” the three artists take turns approaching the track from different perspectives while maintaining the same energy, placing confidence and presence at the heart of the song. Rather than framing it as a competition to prove who holds a certain position, NSLM starts from a much more direct premise: that confidence does not need to be proven. That idea also gives rise to the movement’s name and the philosophy introduced through this first chapter: Nosotros Somos Los Mejores.
The concept draws inspiration from VENDALI, the Puerto Rican fashion brand created by designer Jeremy Negrón, bringing its identity into the musical space. The reference connects two forms of creative expression that have long shared a close relationship within Puerto Rico’s urban culture: the way one dresses and the way one presents oneself to the world. Fashion, street culture and music therefore converge in a release conceived as both a sonic and visual statement of style, further complemented by an official visualizer.
For DIA, “VENDALI” arrives amid an especially active period. The artist recently released “PiKETUA” and joined The Rudeboyz and TURY on “SIXXAS,” following the July release of his EP DAME UN BREi, ESTOY EN Mi, a six-track project through which he continued exploring his connection to Latin trap. This momentum is further strengthened by his Premios Juventud 2026 nomination in the La Nueva Generación Masculina category, where he will also take part in the ceremony as an award presenter.
With “VENDALI,” DIA, Derek Santana and Fabriell officially open the door to NSLM and establish the first coordinates of a movement built in Puerto Rico, with trap as a common ground and a shared identity rooted in music, fashion and urban culture. The single serves as an introduction, but also as the first indication of what the name bringing them together represents: Nosotros Somos Los Mejores.
