Global Hitmaker Hugel Joins Forces With Big Sean & Scott Storch On New Single “Body Drop”

THIRD SINGLE FROM HUGEL'S DEBUT ALBUM TWENTY ONE

Following the launch of his Hï Ibiza residency, Coachella debut, and a landmark year surpassing 1 billion annual streams

Global house music force HUGEL continues the rollout of his highly anticipated debut album Twenty One with the release of "Body Drop," a major new collaboration alongside multi-platinum rapper Big Sean and legendary producer Scott Storch, arriving June 12 via Make The Girls Dance Records.

The release follows the successful launch of the Twenty One campaign, which began with "Movin' To The Sun" alongside house icon Ultra Naté and songwriter Imael Angel before continuing with the Latin-leaning summer anthem "Ron Y Coco" featuring Flagrant Drvms and Barbara Doza. Together, the first two singles introduced the album's global scope, blending house music with Afro, Latin, and crossover influences while showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines Twenty One. With "Body Drop," HUGEL takes that vision even further, bringing together hip-hop heavyweight Big Sean and legendary producer Scott Storch for one of the most ambitious records of the project.

Blending HUGEL's globally recognized Afro and Latin house production with Big Sean's unmistakable flow and Scott Storch's signature melodic touch, "Body Drop" represents one of the most ambitious records of HUGEL's career to date. Designed equally for festivals, clubs, and crossover audiences, the record further expands the sonic world of Twenty One while showcasing HUGEL's ability to bridge dance music with hip-hop at the highest level.

The collaboration unites three artists whose influence extends far beyond their respective genres. Big Sean remains one of hip-hop's most successful and respected voices, earning multiple platinum records, billions of streams, and a career spanning collaborations with Drake, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Kehlani, 2 Chainz and countless others. Meanwhile, Scott Storch stands as one of the most influential producers of the modern era, responsible for era-defining records with Beyoncé, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, The Game, Justin Timberlake, Post Malone, and more.

For HUGEL, "Body Drop" marks another significant step in a breakout global chapter that continues to expand beyond traditional dance music. Following surprise appearances from Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Roy Woods, and Murda Beatz during his Coachella debut earlier this year, the release further demonstrates the scale and ambition behind Twenty One.

The release arrives as HUGEL launches his acclaimed Make The Girls Dance residency at Hï Ibiza, running weekly through September 24, while simultaneously maintaining a growing presence in Las Vegas through residencies at XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club, and EBC at Night.

Having surpassed 1 billion annual streams in 2025 and amassed more than 27 million monthly Spotify listeners, HUGEL has become one of the most commercially successful and culturally influential artists helping drive the worldwide rise of Afro House and Latin House.

Over the last several years, HUGEL has built a catalog of global hits including "I Adore You," "Forever" with Diplo, and "Jamaican (Bam Bam)," helping establish him as one of dance music's most consistent crossover hitmakers.
