Gabito Ballesteros Presents His New Label HitKidz Records With the Launch of Its First Artist, Kanito Escalante
“Cali,” the first track by Escalante — featuring Calle 24, El Bogueto and Ballesteros himself — drops on Thursday night (Aug. 20).
Mexican musician Gabito Ballesteros has introduced his new record label, HitKidz Records, with the debut of its first artist, Kanito Escalante. The label's first release, "Cali," a collaboration with Escalante, Calle 24, El Bogueto, and Ballesteros himself, is set to launch on August 20. Ballesteros praises Escalante's talent, passion for creation, and his own unique style.
Escalante, originally from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, began his music journey at a young age and gained popularity through TikTok. He is thrilled to join HitKidz and credits Ballesteros for his guidance and support. The music video for "Cali" showcases the four artists in a tropical setting in Cali, Colombia, performing a love and conquest-themed track that combines smooth rhythms with rap and urban sounds.
Ballesteros aims to build a label that develops artists, provides them with the necessary tools and opportunities, and forms a new family similar to his brother Nata and the corridos tumbados movement. He plans to gradually introduce each artist's project and emphasizes that the label seeks authenticity and a strong identity in its artists.
Ballesteros believes anyone with talent, a unique identity, and a willingness to work has an excellent opportunity with HitKidz.
