J Balvin & Willy William get Beyonce on "Mi Gente."

The past few months, we've seen a resurgence of reggaeton and Latin music in North America. Despacito was the pretty much the biggest song this summer and is continuing to bump. J Balvin and Willy William's "Mi Gente" has been killing it as well. The song is currently looking at over 890 million views on YouTube and counting. And it has every reason to, the song has an infectious beat and catchy melodies. It looks like the song is about to reach another level because Beyonce just hopped on the remix. 

Beyonce is the queen for a reason. We may have not gotten any new music from her recently but she also delivered a pair of twins, so it's fair to say she's had more important things to deal with. However, she returns with a remix of "Mi Gente."  Beyonce hits the track with singing in both English and Spanish. With Beyonce being from Houston, J Balvin from Colombia and Willy Williams from France, the song is a global connect. Beyonce does make sure to send love on the track to places affected by natural disasters. "Lift up your people/ From Texas, Puerto Rico/ Dem' islands to México."

Beyonce will be using the money she makes off of the song for a good cause. On her website it says, "I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane and earthquake relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and other affected Caribbean islands." The proceeds will go to CEMA, UNICEF and Somos Una Voz so make sure you stream the hell out of it.

Quotable Lyrics
I been giving birth on these haters cause i'm fertile
See these double C's on this bag, murda
Want my double D's in his bed, serta
If you really love me make an album about me, word up
