"Sensación del Bloque" (English: "Street Sensation") is a song by American singer De la Ghetto and Puerto Rican singer Randy. It was released by Capitol Latin and La Brea in 2006. The song was produced by DJ Giann, Dexter, and Mista Greenzz.
The music video of "Sensación del Bloque" was released on February 17, 2007. In addition to the song's performers, the video also features urban artists Daddy Yankee, Tito el Bambino, Ñejo, Julio Voltio, Héctor el Father, Jowell, Cultura Profética, Alexis and Guelo Star.[1] It became one of De la Ghetto's most watched collaborations.[2]
Isabelia Herrera of Pitchfork described "Sensación del Bloque" as "a catchy track that weaves a jilted R&B falsetto with minor piano chords into an archetype of the emo ballads that would later dominate Latin trap". She also commented that "De la Ghetto and Randy did not cut corners and demonstrated their vocal and stylistic versatility without hesitation" and "Many emerging urban artists today owe part of their creative freedom to songs like 'Sensación del Bloque'".[3]
