Real (J Balvin album)

Real is an unreleased album by Colombian reggaeton artist J Balvin. The album was initially planned for release in 2009, preceding his breakthrough with subsequent commercially successful albums. Although promotion and some singles were released, the full album was ultimately shelved. Some of the songs intended for Real later appeared on mixtapes and compilations, offering a glimpse into J Balvin's musical style and influences prior to his mainstream success. The decision to not release the album is often attributed to J Balvin refining his sound and building a stronger musical identity before a full-length debut.
