Editorial Reviews

Although he's neither the originator of the reggaeton style nor even the genre's first home-grown superstar, Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee was instrumental in introducing the Latin hip-hop/dancehall hybrid to a mainstream audience in the United States and abroad. Yankee (aka Raymon Ayala) began appearing on reggaeton tracks as early as 1993, but it was 2004's Barrio Fino and its infectious single "La Gasolina" that made him a household name. He has since collaborated with up-and-coming reggaeton artists as well as hip-hop stars like Snoop Dogg and Lloyd Banks.

This proves once again that Daddy Yankee is just the king, plain and simple.....this sends a clear message to Wisin y Yandel and Don Omar, The king is back, the true leader. The album is pure fire, with sooo many fusions and mixes of different musical cultures that u feel like u are taking a trip around the world, from colombia, to dominican republic, to the US , to Puerto rico, and more....just so u get my point, his single, pose, has 5 different fusions, 5 different musical cultures and styles in 1....wow.....Llamado de emergencia, the vallenato joint with Colombian sounds, is amazingly well done, the intro, pure heat, with a clear message and great lyrics as usual. Pasion and salgo pa la calle, the 2 feats....dope....overall the whole album is fire, and if u were mad because EL CARTEL 3: THE BIG BOSS had a lot of american influence, then this is the album for you

My husband turned me on to reggaeton I'm a big fan of Daddy Yankee because the beats get you moving. This CD is great music to listen to before going to a party or a night on the town! You don't have to understand Spanish to get into this CD. Love it!
