"PRC" (abbreviation of "Polvo, ruedas y cristal"; English: "Powder, wheels and crystal") is a song by regional Mexican musicians and singers Peso Pluma and Natanael Cano. It was released as a single on January 24, 2023, through Prajin Records, Rancho Humilde and Los CT, as the lead single for the deluxe version of the former's album Génesis (2023).[1]

Lyrically, it is an apology to organized crime, which deals with a man who is dedicated to selling drugs[2] and the luxuries that leave him to dedicate that to himself.[3] The song title makes references to crack cocaine (polvo), MDMA (ruedas) and methamphetamine (cristal).

The song peaked at number 33 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Mexico Songs chart.

Music video

A music video was uploaded on January 26, 2023, two days after the song's release, through Peso Pluma's official YouTube channel. The video was directed by Barush and produced by George Prajin.
