and its incendiary single “Gasolina” made Yankee the face of reggaeton in 2004, and, somewhat counterfactually, its de facto originator. Though his genre tenure precedes that moment, going back to the days of DJ Playero mixtapes 10 years prior, his success didn’t just popularize the sound, but also nudged it toward the legitimacy it enjoys today.
This, of course, comes as a product of Yankee’s contemporary evolution into a full-fledged pop star, one properly crystallized by 2017’s massive and ubiquitous “Despacito” after years of working around his streetwise breakthrough.
Yankee’s choice of vocal collaborators further supports this forward-looking approach, pulling largely from a comparatively younger crop of identifiable names, including Rauw Alejandro, Becky G, and Natti Natasha. As an early supporter of Bad Bunny, going back to their 2017 joint single “Vuelve,” El Conejo Malo returns that kindness sevenfold on the storming standout “X ÚLTIMA VEZ.
