Jared Alston — “Prada” ft. Gegeman: A Sleek Blend of R&B Luxury and Reggaeton Vibes

I came across Prada last night, nestled in my music box like a gem waiting to be discovered. I was in my studio, headphones on, and Jared Alston’s track immediately pulled me in. It’s one of those songs that feels effortlessly cool, dripping with a slickness you’d expect to hear bumping on stations like WBLS or Z100. The moment I hit play, I knew Prada had that repeat-worthy magic — something smooth yet infectious, the kind of track you don’t mind playing back-to-back.

Now, I’m going to be real with you — I wasn’t familiar with Jared Alston before this, but now that I’ve heard Prada, I’m definitely keeping an ear out for what’s next. The track itself is centered around a man who knows what he wants and how far he’d go to make a special woman in his life happy. There’s a line that sticks out — “I heard you want that Prada / get it if you wanna / anything you want, I would get for you” — and it captures the core vibe of the song. Alston’s lyrics show that he’s not just talking about flexing on material things; it’s more about valuing her the way she values luxury.

But the real moment that shifted Prada from good to great is when Gegeman steps in with that reggaeton flavor. I’m telling you, when his verse hit, the entire song leveled up. Gegeman’s Spanish verse brings in that tropical, high-energy feel — like you could hear it at a rooftop party or in a packed lounge somewhere in SoHo. The blend is so seamless that instead of feeling like a typical feature, it’s like Alston and Gegeman are a natural duo. Their synergy is undeniable, and together they create something greater than just a standalone collab.

What’s interesting about Prada is that while its concept — treating a woman to the finer things — isn’t breaking new ground, it’s the production and the vibe that set it apart. Jared Alston may be talking about luxury and love, but it’s his musicality and the smooth fusion of R&B and reggaeton that make this track pop. It’s clear that Alston is all about versatility. From R&B to hip-hop to even country, he’s proven that he can move between genres effortlessly. I’m getting a sense that he’s on the cusp of something big.

The hook is catchy, the beat is pristine, and the potential for viral dance routines or TikTok challenges is all there. I can easily see this track gaining some serious traction. It’s just the right mix of romantic and hype — polished enough for the radio but with enough bite to keep it from sounding generic.

Final Verdict?

• Beats: 10/10 — Smooth, luxurious, and timeless.
• Lyrics: 7/10 — Nothing too complex, but it gets the point across.
