LMNT 115 Teams Up with
French Montana and
Sofía Reyes on Crossover Single "Final Minutes" - Marking the Project's Biggest Collaboration to Date and First Release of 2026
LMNT 115 hits its biggest crossover moment yet with "Final Minutes" - the first single of 2026 and the most ambitious collaboration of the project to date. The track brings together two heavyweight names from opposite ends of the global music map: multi-platinum artist French Montana, whose diamond-certified "Unforgettable" remains one of the defining hip-hop crossovers of the last decade, and Latin pop star Sofía Reyes, whose hits "1, 2, 3" with Jason Derulo and "R.I.P." with Rita Ora and Anitta have helped her amass over 5 billion combined streams worldwide. Sung primarily in English with bilingual flourishes from Reyes, "Final Minutes" is a radio-ready, cinematic dance-pop record built around the title concept - the idea that the final minutes are where everything gets decided, and the kind of mindset it takes to keep showing up, even after losing the round. The song was written and recorded over the course of a year across studios in Australia, Los Angeles, and Mexico, with each location leaving its fingerprints on the final track. It arrives on the back of LMNT 115's most defining collaborations to date - including releases with Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani Marley, GRAMMY winner Daya, and Zak Abel - and signals a clear move toward a more global, genre-blurring sound.
"'Final Minutes' is a special record for me because it pushed me outside of my comfort zone sonically and creatively. I started this song over a year ago, and it evolved through sessions across Australia, LA, and Mexico. Working with French and Sofía brought two unique worlds together, and that contrast is what makes this release feel different from anything I've put out so far. It's the start of something I want to lean further into - less about fitting into a genre, and more about creating something that feels global, emotional, and timeless." - LMNT 115
"I'm really excited for this song to come out - the creative process was such a meaningful one for me. When I jumped on a call with the LMNT 115 team, I loved that they took the time to explain what the song meant to them and how they wanted to preserve its essence while letting me bring my own touch to it. I wrote a Spanish verse that I feel adds something powerful to the record, and the whole experience was a pleasure. The message of 'Final Minutes' resonates with me on a personal level, especially because this opportunity came during a difficult chapter in my life - one where I genuinely felt like I had to start over, push through, trust the process, and surrender to the discomfort of the unknown. I hope we get to perform it together one day, and I'm so grateful to have been invited to collaborate with such incredible artists. I hope everyone enjoys it." - Sofía Reyes
LMNT 115
LMNT 115 is a solo project that operates behind a custom-designed animated persona - a deliberate choice that keeps the focus on the music and the universe built around it. Behind the project is Z - a writer, lyricist and producer whose tough, brooding charisma sits at the heart of every release, channelled into a character with as much swagger as it has emotional depth. The project officially launched on November 15, 2024 with debut single "Close To You" featuring Sadie Rose Van, and has since built a steadily expanding catalogue of collaborations, including "Holding On To Us" with Brando, "Out Of The Dark" with Zak Abel, "Paradise" with GRAMMY-winning artist Daya, and "Fuse" with Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani Marley - a run that has crossed over 20 million combined streams across the project's catalogue since its debut. Upcoming single "Final Minutes" with French Montana and Sofía Reyes marks the project's biggest crossover moment to date and the start of a more global, genre-blurring chapter for 2026. Sonically and visually, LMNT 115 draws on anime and manga, futurism, the gritty underbelly of a city after dark, art, pop culture, and the spirit of resilience against injustice and adversity - threads that come together in a fictional universe that runs parallel to the music itself, with a broader artistic vision that echoes the immersive, character-driven worlds of acts like Gorillaz. The name, derived from Element 115 - a theorized otherworldly fuel material - reflects the creative force that has shaped the project from its earliest days. With more releases scheduled throughout the year, LMNT 115 continues to develop a project where music, identity, and immersive storytelling collide.
French Montana
Moroccan-American rapper French Montana is one of the world's most successful African-born artists, with multiple platinum certifications and a long catalogue of high-profile collaborations across hip-hop, R&B, and pop. He rose from the New York mixtape underground in the 2000s and built an indie empire with his Cocaine City imprint, before emerging as a pop-savvy hip-hop force with his 2013 debut album "Excuse My French." His 2017 sophomore LP "Jungle Rules" delivered the diamond-certified global smash "Unforgettable" with Swae Lee, which topped the Billboard rap chart and climbed into the Top Three of the R&B and main singles list. 2019's double album "Montana" featured another wave of chart hits, including "No Stylist" with Drake and "Writing on the Wall" with Post Malone and Cardi B. He continued his prolific run with "They Got Amnesia" (2021), the joint project "Montega" with Harry Fraud (2022), "Coke Boys 6" with DJ Drama (2023), and "Mac & Cheese 5" (2024). Recent singles include "Skyami" with Skilla Baby, "To the Moon" with Fivio Foreign and Fabolous, and "One More Chance" - cementing French Montana's reputation as one of contemporary music's most dependable architects of crossover hits.
Sofía Reyes
Sofía Reyes is a Mexican singer-songwriter and one of Latin pop's most globally recognized crossover artists. She first broke through in 2014 with "Muévelo," co-written alongside Wisin and Toby Gad, and was mentored early in her career by Prince Royce - with whom she duetted on the heartfelt 2016 ballad "Solo Yo." Her global breakthrough came with "1, 2, 3" alongside Jason Derulo and De La Ghetto, which became one of the year's defining Latin-pop crossover records and racked up billions of streams. In 2019, she cemented her status as a go-to collaborator on internationally-led anthems with "R.I.P." featuring Rita Ora and Anitta, followed by a string of high-profile features including "El Tejano" with Lauv (2020), a duet version of Beret's "Lo Siento," a charity collaboration with Michael Bublé and Barenaked Ladies (2020), and "How You Samba" with Kris Kross Amsterdam and Tinie Tempah (2023). Known for seamlessly blending English and Spanish vocals, Reyes has built a reputation for delivering crossover records that resonate equally across Latin and mainstream pop.
