7DJ (stylized as #7DJ (7 Días en Jamaica)) is the first EP by Colombian singer Maluma, released on January 28, 2021.

The album is mainly characterized by the fusion of rhythms between reggaeton, trap and pop with reggae, dancehall and ska, alluding to his trip to Jamaica where the recording of said album was made. On January 28, 2021, the album was presented alongside his musical short film "7 Days in Jamaica." Some singles like: "Agua de Jamaica", "Desayun-Arte" and "Peligrosa" emerge from it. This album includes the participation of Ziggy Marley and Charly Black.

Background
On January 27, 2021 through Instagram, Maluma announced a live broadcast via IGTV through a photo with the hashtag #7DJ. The following day on his birthday, the release of Maluma's new material was officially announced through the musical short film "7 Días en Jamaica." Like his previous album Papi Juancho, this album was made long before the quarantine due to the 2019-2020 coronavirus disease pandemic. "Those seven days in Jamaica came at a time when I needed to escape and disconnect. Since I had worked hard without stopping in my career for seven years and I came to question whether I should continue creating music. I did a great soul-searching right there and came back a different person; completely inspired and realizing that music is not just what I do, it is part of who I am, how I live and interpret life."

Production
"7 Days in Jamaica" was filmed in some locations in Jamaica and Los Angeles. It was produced by 36 Grados and is made up of seven interconnected videos that make the album an audiovisual adventure. The musical production was in charge of Édgar “Edge” Barrera, Johany Alejandro Correa “Nyal” and The Rude Boyz.

The works of art of the Colombian sculptor and artist Federico Uribe stand out, which were reflected in the short film.
