Daddy Yankee

With over 15 years of upward growth in the entertainment industry and the Latin music scene, Daddy Yankee has developed to be one of the most respected and influential reggaeton artists.

Yankee's carefully crafted lyrics and his free-style abilities have allowed him to share his views and reach the masses, regardless of his intentions. From love to socially-saturated comments on the everyday Puerto Rican culture, many of his songs have remained solid in the club scene and are considered reggaeton classics.

Yankee's constant focus and rapid development have allowed him to collaborate with artists such as NAS (they recorded "The Profecy" together) and a track with mix tape legend and acclaimed Dj Tony Touch for his The Peace Maker album. Daddy was also invited for a cameo appearance in Terror Squad's video "100% Percent" while his "Posicion" track was also included in One Tough Cop soundtrack.

Without a doubt, his record sales confirm his success and popularity within Latin music. All of his albums, ¯El Cartel de Yankee, ¯El Cartel de Yankee II, ¯El Cangri.com and Los Home-runes, have all received platinum status. In 2002, El Cangri.com was the biggest selling album in Puerto Rico, his hometown and one of the most prestigious markets within Latin music.
