Plan B is a former Puerto Rican reggaetón duo, consisting of cousins Chencho (also known as Chencho Corleone) and Maldy.[3] The duo rose to fame with the release of their first studio album, El Mundo del Plan B (2002), which also featured collaborations with fellow reggaetoneros like Daddy Yankee, Great Kilo, Guelo Star, Rey Pirin, and Speedy, among others. In addition to performing, Chencho and Maldy are both record producers in their own right; Chencho has his own record label, Chencho Records, and likewise Maldy heads Maldy Records. Plan B released their first mixtape in 2005, Los Nenes del Blin Blin ("the bling-bling boys"). They have featured two compilation albums, released in 2005 and 2007, respectively: El Draft 2005 and Reggaetón de Markesina. The duo released their third joint album in 2010, House of Pleasure, along with singles such as "Si No Le Contesto" and "Es un Secreto". Plan B released their fourth and final album in 2014, Love and Sex, and featured artists like Alexis & Fido, J Álvarez, Tego Calderón, Zion & Lennox, Clandestino y Yailemm, and Amaro.
In the years following Plan B's formal disbanding, Chencho and Maldy have continued creating music, having collaborated with many other artists within the reggaetón, urbano and Latin pop genres, including Dominican singer Natti Natasha ("Deja Tus Besos" remix) and Colombian artist Karol G ("Gatúbela"). Maldy joined Karol G in March 2023 for a live performance of "Gatúbela" during her sold-out stadium shows in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2024, he was featured on the collaborative track "Party Amanecío" ("partying at dawn") along with artists Bad Gyal, De La Ghetto and Ryan Castro, produced by DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz.
