Nicky Jam Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia
A Nicky Jam quiz is really two quizzes in one, because his 2014 comeback split the catalog in half. Guess the Nicky Jam song from comeback anthems like 'El Perdón' with Enrique Iglesias, 'Hasta el Amanecer' and the J Balvin duet 'X (Equis)', then test your trivia by placing each clip on the right side of the 'Travesuras' reset. The raw Los Cangris underground and album cuts like 'El Amante' and 'Si Tú La Ves' catch casuals, so see how well you really know Nicky Jam before the beat drops.

Guess the Nicky Jam Song
The comeback hits give themselves away on their smooth, melodic hooks, so 'El Perdón' and 'Hasta el Amanecer' land quickly. The tougher call is a gritty Los Cangris cut that sounds nothing like his comeback singles.

Nicky Jam Trivia: Inside the Comeback
The facts behind the comeback are their own game: a teenage duo with Daddy Yankee, a career that collapsed and rebuilt in Colombia, an English World Cup anthem, and a Netflix series about the whole climb.
How Well Do You Know Nicky Jam's Two Eras?
Nicky Jam's catalog falls into clear tiers. Start with the comeback anthems everyone knows, then split the old Los Cangris era from the 2014 reset, dig for the underground cuts, and spot him on soundtracks and screen.
The comeback anthems (where casual fans score)
If you know Nicky Jam from Latin radio after 2014, this is your easy ground. 'El Perdón' with Enrique Iglesias, 'Hasta el Amanecer' and the J Balvin duet 'X (Equis)' are the global hits most players name first in any Nicky Jam quiz.
Before and after the reset (the two-era trap)
This is the catch. The teenage reggaeton he cut with Los Cangris in early-2000s Puerto Rico and the polished comeback he launched with 'Travesuras' in 2014 barely sound like the same artist. Placing a clip on the right side of that reset is what a Nicky Jam quiz really tests.
The underground and album cuts (where superfans pull ahead)
Superfans pull ahead on the deep material: the raw underground tracks from his first run and album cuts like 'Voy a Beber', 'El Amante' and 'Si Tú La Ves' from 'Fénix' and 'Íntimo'. These rarely reach a casual playlist, so they decide a top score.
The crossovers and cameos (where else you have heard him)
Nicky Jam turns up well beyond reggaeton radio. He sang the English 2018 World Cup song 'Live It Up', his life became the Netflix series 'El Ganador', and he appeared on screen in 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' and 'Bad Boys for Life'. Spotting him outside his hits is a fun bonus round.
