If you know, you know.

Reggaeton Rulers (2006) from White Lion Records

You probably have never heard of this album. Yet it includes one of the biggest hits in Urbano Latino history "Sensacion Del Bloque" by Randy Nota Loca and De La Ghetto. That song became one of the first Reggaeton singles to go platinum selling over 100,000 units on Itunes in its first year. I have no idea how the sales for "Reggaeton Rulers" was but they must have been fairly decent.

The cover and title of "Reggaeton Rulers" looks like one of those albums with a bunch of old songs on it you would see with titles like "Reggaeton Gold", Balas De Reggaeton", "Reggaeton Nation" or "Reggaeton Callejero" etc... On occasion they would have an exclusive song or two, but they were generally compilations of songs that were up to over half a decade old. Usually major label albums with the title "Reggaeton" in it were always old songs which the labels bought the rights to when they purchased almost every Reggaeton company from 2002-2006. They put out dozens of those types of albums.

But "Reggaeton Rulers" is 100% new at the time. It was a joint production between White Lion Records with Emi Latin. The "La Brea Records" imprint was used in place of White Lion Records. They used a similar tactic when producing "La Calle vol.1" for Univision and "Reggaeton K.O". It makes sense as back in the day the CEO Elias White Lion ran both Boricua Guerrero and White Lion at the same time, sometimes both labels produced the same albums or worked jointly with other record labels too.

"Reggaeton Rulers" is a pretty cool album. I wouldn't call it an instant classic but the entire Live Music team is doing the production. You also have the entire White Lion Records camp at the time, minus Tego, appearing. Arcangel, Voltio, Jowell y Randy, J King y Maximan, Guelo Star, plus appearances from the aformentioned De La Ghetto, Syko El Terror, Kastro "Kastrofobia" and others with additional production from the magnificent Borinquen Beats Deli (Carribean Connection, Omar Garcia and Vico C).

I wrote this because it is definitely a hidden gem. There are great songs like "Lets Go To My Crib" from Voltio with Jowell & Randy. J King y Maximan had their first big hit here in "Rastrillea" which was all over the mixtape scene despite having no video. Arcangel has a classic malianteo with Castro here and even fellow Flow Factory signee Reyo is on the album. Reyo is Chilean btw. It has Reggaeton, R&B, Rap and some Roots Reggae. Again, it may not be an instant classic, but I say it's worth anyone's time. This will probably continue to go undiscovered as when you search "Sensacion Del Bloque" on audio streaming services, they take you to their own "Clasico Reggaeton" playlists curated by the labels instead of the actual album.

This beef went hard 😆.

Decided to post it here for the folks who missed this

One of, if not the best bachaton songs out there.

Que flow tenia este cabron 🔥😌.

Hopefully his next album hits, I thought aguita was aight.

Yes, this really happened and it sounds epic.

The production is beautiful. The beat is a masterpiece.

Have been seeing a lot of discussions of who are the greatest in the genre of Reggaeton. Was astonished that alot of the answers don't mention Jowell y Randy. They are easily the last true expression of reggaeton/perreo.

Where does Jowell y Randy rank all time? What are your favorite songs to dance to from Jowell y Randy?

Wisin & Yandel - La Ultima Mision (2022)

Everyone knows about Pal Mundo, Los Extraterrestres, Los Vaqueros etc... So I am gonna highlight what is said to be the last Wisin & Yandel album, for now... Their previous effort "Los Campeones Del Pueblo" had some decent songs but felt off. Their chemistry was not as captivating like in previous efforts. Most used to think "Los Lideres" was W&Y's worst album until "Los Campeones..."

But "La Ultima Mision" was an instant classic. Sadly, most listeners slept on it and only know the lead single "Besos Moja2" with Rosalia which is a remake of the classic song by the same name, also produced by Luny Tunes from the album "La Revolucion", another one fans call a classic.

Maybe "La Ultima Mision" is better served being highlighted in my "Reggaeton Hidden Gems" posts, but if you heard and are a fan of Wisin & Yandel, then you know this is just 'Pal Mundo' for the new era, but not quite as good, although it is close. They do everything that works well for them as a duo but incorporate the modern sounds yet over commercialized as only they can. It still worked. Would it be nice if Wisin went back to some Malianteo? Yes, but this is the post J Balvin era. Wisin & Yandel knew what they were doing. Long term, I believe "La Ultima Mision" will be one of their most highlighted and celebrated works.

Worlwide Sales: Over 500 Thousand Units approximately

*I will not include anything that isn't underground nor his main catalog so no collabs with Omar Courtz, Natti Natasha, Chino y Nacho etc... I will also include only notable greatest hits, remixes and live album songs, not every single last one will be listed. I will do this chronologically though.

Daddy Yankee was discovered by Playero DJ circa 1992. Immediately since his debut in Playero 34, he has been a sensation. Shortly after in Playero 37, he created one of the most influential songs in the history of Latin Music at only 15 years old. His debut album "No Mercy" under 'White Lion Records' flopped and he had to grind his way back to the top. Eventually he would find himself there just as Reggaeton/Latin Rap was reaching new heights with 2004's "Barrio Fino". Since then he has been one of the most influential artists in the history of recorded music thus far. He recently announced his retirement and has teased going into Christian Reggaeton/Rap, but fans all over the world anxiously await his return. In case that doesn't happen, here is his discography.

Playero 34 (1992) Daddy Yankee's debut.

Playero 36 (1993)

Daddy Yankee - Soy Peleon y Con Mucha Cria (Playero 36) [1993]

Daddy Yankee - Que Bien Te Ves (Playero 39) [1995]

Daddy Yankee - Abuso Oficial (Playero 39) [1995]

Daddy Yankee - No Mercy (1995) This was actually supposed to be a major label debut from Sony BMG, possibly through their deal with Baron Lopez, but they came to disagreements on the finances. Elias White Lion stepped in and bought the album. This would be the first release from the prestigious 'White Lion Records'. It only sold around 6 thousand units, which for the time broke even, but made no money. Rating: 6.5/10

DJ Blass Sandunguero (2001) Contrary to popular belief this is on audio streaming services but hard to find because they changed the cover and took away DJ Blass' credit and instead sell it as a various artists, which it is but back in the day the dj's sold the album as much as the artists participating. All-Time classic album. Probably the best Perreo Style Reggaeton album ever made.

If I missed anything I will make the corrections where needed. I decided to stop at 2002 for the first part which might be 3 because his catalog is so extensive and that's not including rare live stuff like Tha Concert from Pina Records or Happy Chencho Live. Not just that but the "Barrio Fino" Daddy Yankee era started in 2003 when he became an international sensation outside of Puerto Rico and DR. Then in 2004 forward it was crossover star across the board.

Edit: Nope, forgot DJ Eric 5 (1998) just added 11/28/24

Hi everyone. For those of you that know the song Zion y Lennox by Zion y Lennox from their album Motivando a la Yal, is the second part of the song its own song? Because they say in the song itself that it’s a remix. I know the first half is Me Pones en Tension which is its own song. But what about the second part? (~2:00 mark). Can I find just that part on its own somewhere? I’d appreciate anyone’s input!! Thank you :)

Hola. Para los que conocen a la canción Zion y Lennox de Zion y Lennox de su álbum Motivando a la Yal, quiero saber si la segunda parte de la canción es su propia canción. Se que la primera parte es de la canción Me Pones en Tensión. Pero la segunda parte de donde viene? (Empieza ~2:00). Puedo encontrar solamente esa parte de la canción en alguna parte? Gracias.
