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
in
the
everyday
Puerto
Rican
culture,
many
of
his
cons
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
Yankee
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.
2003
was
one
of
the
most
important
years
in
Yankee's
career.
Shortly
after
"Los
Home-Runes"
album
achieved
record-breaking
sales,
one
of
his
life-long
dreams
came
true...
a
full
house
(12,000+)
danced
along
with
him
in
Puerto
Rico's
historic
Roberto
Clemente
Coliseum.
The
fans
went
wild
as
the
press
acclaimed
his
ability
to
bring
the
house
down
with
his
outstanding
ability
to
free-style
and
his
energetic
stage
performance.
The
show
titled
"Ahora
Le
Toca
Al
Cangri"
quickly
turned
into
Yankee's
most
important
and
a
historic
moment
in
reggaeton
music.
