$ad Boyz 4 Life II is the eighth solo studio album by Mexican singer-songwriter Junior H. It was released on 5 October 2023, through Rancho Humilde and Warner Music Latina. A sequel to Herrera's fifth studio album, $ad Boyz 4 Life (2021), the album contains urban sierreño tracks with fusions of pop rock and ranchera sounds and features no collaborations, in which he considered as "more of an accident". It debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 with 32,000 album-equivalent units, making it his biggest album debut.

Background and composition

[edit]

Herrera did not plan on releasing a sequel album of $ad Boyz 4 Life, and had also called the album as "more of an accident" since fellow collaborators such as Peso Pluma and Natanael Cano were going to be featured on the album but "couldn't make it", ending up as a solo album.[1][2] The album's release date was announced on the singer's Instagram account for pre-save on Spotify.[3] The album blends pop rock music with regional Mexican music, with songs such as "Otro Amor" and "Miles de Rosas" having a "dreamy" sound.[4][5]

Promotion and release

[edit]

$ad Boyz 4 Life II was released on 5 October 2023 on all streaming platforms, with accompanying lyric videos for each song being uploaded onto Junior H's YouTube channel.[6] Considered a fan favorite from the album, "Y Lloro" was released as its lead single a day later.[7][8] It debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 and number two on both Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts with 32,000 album-equivalent units.[9]
