The rhythm of reggaeton has ruled on Hispanic and Latino communities since the early 1990s, and the ruler of reggaeton these days is a superstar in the world known as Daddy Yankee.
A form of urban music, reggaeton originated in Panama as a mixture of West Indian music as Jamaican reggae and dancehall with Latin America is in the rhythm of salsa, merengue, cumbia and more. However, the reggaeton rhythms also combines these with powerful pulse of hip hop, R & B contemporary and electro influences, rap shows the characteristic of the genre or singing in Spanish. With all these influences, however, today's reggaeton is closely related to Puerto Rico, where the music became popular and where most of their stars of today have their roots.
Lyrics in reggaeton tend to look more hip hop dancehall, with universal themes that appeal especially to urban youth. Like the hip hop and "gangsta" or "life thugs" identity, reggaeton has its share of controversies involving explicit lyrics glorify violence and degrading women and "wars" between artists, musicians in the "Theses" each other in their songs.

Also known as "The Cangri" (roughly translated as "cool cat" or "sexiest man"), Daddy Yankee today day is undoubtedly reggaeton "Big Boss", another of his nicknames and possibly a tribute to rock superstar Bruce Springsteen, nicknamed "The Boss .
Ayala stage name "Daddy Yankee," derives in part the shape of his admiration for hip hop artist Big Daddy Kane, and partly his love for baseball New York Yankees. Daddy Yankee is rarely done without his Yankees baseball cap marks. He planned to be a professional baseball player himself as so many stars from Puerto Rico, but a gunshot wound in the leg when he was 16 he broke his diamond dreams.
