Esaú Ortiz had already made a name for himself as a songwriter in the regional urban scene. But with Triple Lavada, he stepped into the spotlight: the track climbed to Top 3 on Spotify’s Top 50 Mexico, officially marking his debut hit as a solo performer.
The song — a raw blend of party energy, street code, and sharp phrasing — hits deep with a generation that embraces chaos just as much as introspection. Lines like “una triple lavada pa’ loquear” and “a whiskey from your dad’s era, just to start” set the tone for a track that knows exactly who it’s talking to.
Interestingly, Triple Lavada leaked months before its official release — and instead of losing steam, it started charting even before it dropped, gaining momentum through word-of-mouth and snippets alone.
Unlike many leaked songs that burn out early, this one did the opposite. Once officially released, it exploded even further, climbing charts and cementing its spot on major playlists like La Oficial, Viral Música Mexicana, and La Clika.
The track also broke into the Top 1 of Spotify’s Viral chart in countries like Colombia and Guatemala, and landed in the Top 2–10 across Spain, Argentina, Chile, and more. An international rollout for a debut hit — pure madness.
Triple Lavada marks a new chapter for Esaú Ortiz not only as a creator behind the curtain, but now also as a voice in front of the mic.
And yeah — I did the cover. When the art matches the vibe, it just hits different.
For this artwork, I was given a reference to start with, but it needed something more to fully match the vibe and the sound. The style leans retro, so I immediately looked for a picture of Esaú to manipulate, making it look like he’s driving the Cheyenne — just like in his opening bars, “Arriba de la Cheyenne…” I took inspiration from the Stranger Things era and visual aesthetic — but leaving out the horror part, since we didn’t want it to feel like a horror piece. Instead, I went for a grimey, raw look, and added a special detail: El Cerro de la Silla in the skyline, a nod to Esaú Ortiz’s hometown — Monterrey, Nuevo León.
And the story doesn’t end there. The remix is already in the works, featuring Luis R Conriquez, Alemán, and a few surprise guests whose names are still under wraps. The official music video for the remix is currently being filmed — so expect Triple Lavada to keep making noise for a while.
