Pitbull

The American music industry has always welcomed musicians from other countries. Whether it was the Beatles and the Rolling Stones from England, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin from Spain or the songstress Shakira from Cuba, foreign artists have always found a place in the US music scene. These artists have made it big in the States because they bring something different to the table. The music they make isn't just the same old rhythm and beats that the American public is used to; they bring their own brand of music to the limelight and blend it into the music genres that Americans are so used to. Pitbull is one such star who has successfully made the cross over to English music and broken all records with his own style of music.

Pitbull is a Cuban American rapper who is much like Latino rap legends Cypress Hill. He is known for his quick rap delivery and his penchant for always picking the best and most funky beats for his songs. Every one of his songs has a kicking bass line with hard drums that truly get listeners into the mood for a party. Most of his lyrics are focused on the party life and his vocal delivery style is a throwback to the fun hip hop music of the 90's. The message of his songs is apparent from his music videos which mostly feature a lot of partying, fancy cars, loads of bling and an all-round fun time.

Pitbull is known for featuring as a guest rapper on a number of artist's songs and he is one of the most bankable guest rappers on the American music scene today. He has featured on songs by the likes of J Lo, Twista and rap pioneers the Ying Yang Twins. He was first heard by the American public when he recorded a few verses for Lil Jon's 'Crunk' album. The song was a big hit and rose to the top of the charts, establishing Pitbull as one of the leading artists in the hip hop genre. His first solo prominent hit was the song called 'Oye' that was featured on the Fast and Furious 2 soundtrack and was heavily featured in the background score of the film.

It was his mentor that helped him with his first album called M.I.A.M.I (Money Is A Major Issue) that was produced by Lil Jon and featured a number of catchy tracks such as 'Culo' and 'Back Up'. His second album 'El Mariel' was a major success, topping the Billboard independent charts and hitting number two on the rap albums chart. His next album, 'The Boatlift' featured a number of hit singles and had a more gangsta rap influence than his previous albums. His next album, 'The Rebelution' is his most successful to date and produced number one singles like 'I Know You Want Me' and 'Hotel Room Service'. 'Hotel Room Service' became a huge party hit and received continuous play on radio stations all across the US and received extra attention at clubs and parties. His first Spanish language album 'Armando' also featured a number of hits. His latest offering, 'Planet Pit' was his first album to top the Billboard charts with a number of hit singles such as 'Give Me Everything' and 'On The Floor'.
