The first Freestyle Session was released on 17 November 2018 and starred Kodigo. Little by little, other referents such as G Sony and Acru joined in, and by the following February the Music Sessions arrived with Bhavi as inaugurator.

The song was a commercial success peaking at number 4 and 121 at the Argentina Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200 charts, respectively, being his first song to appear in an American chart.

The session 38 with L-Gante topped the Argentina Hot 100 chart, being his first number-one single in the country, while the session 46 with Nicky Jam peaked at number 38 at the Hot Latin Songs, being his first entry in the chart. In 2021, Bizarrap began receiving recognition from different award groups. At the 22nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, he received five nominations including both Best New Artist and Producer of the Year. In his native country he received six nominations at the 23rd Annual Gardel Awards, winning two: Best Urban/Trap Song or Album for the session with Nathy Peluso and Best Urban/Trap Collaboration for "Mamichula" with Trueno and Nicki Nicole.In 2022, Bizarrap achieved bigger commercial success charting in various countries from both Latin America and Europe, as well as in the United States.
