3. Daddy Yankee
Daddy Yankee hit it big in 2004 with his hit album Barrio Fino, which spawned what is now considered by many to be a classic reggaeton song, “Gasolina”. Since helping reggaeton enter the mainstream and internationalize in the mid 2000s, Yankee has been all over the Latin music charts, released a movie, and founded a label called El Cartel Records. Over the course of his career his music has explored different genres, although he continues to collaborate with other reggaeton heavyweights and peers.
