Bolstered By
the Hit Singles “Culo”, “Toma” and “Dammit Man”,
Pitbull’s Album M.I.A.M.I. (TVT Records) Has Spent More
Than 27 Weeks on the Billboard Top Independent Albums
Chart. On His New Single “Toma”,
Pitbull Is Joined
by Lil Jon For Hard-Hitting Bilingual Collaboration That
Is Lighting Up The Dancefloors; Recently-Completed Video
Will Begin Airing Later This Month; Song Is Also Picked
Up For Use on “CSI: Miami”
After
spending more than 27 weeks on Billboard’s Top
Independent Albums Chart, best-selling Cuban-American
rapper Pitbull has now reached gold status for more than
500,000 copies sold of his debut album “M.I.A.M.I.:
Money Is A Major Issue” in the United States. |
With his first
two singles “Culo” and “Dammit Man” having already landed
heavy mainstream radio and MTV play, Pitbull is now
promoting his third radio single, “Toma”, which features Lil
Jon as guest vocalist. The collaboration marks a return to
the airwaves for the pair, who scored big this past summer
with the breakthrough hit “Culo”. The new single “Toma” was
already prominently featured in a recent episode of the NBC
show “Las Vegas”. A recently-completed video for “Toma” will
be serviced to all major music networks shortly.
The Miami-based rapper also continues to make noise on the
charts with his inclusion on the track “What U Gonna Do” on
the new Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz album “Crunk Juice”
(which recently debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200
Albums Chart) as well as his collaboration with Daddy Yankee
and Noreaga on the popular remix of Daddy Yankee’s hit ‘Gasolina’,
which is also included on the limited edition version of
“Crunk Juice”. Pitbull also has just completed a photo shoot
alongside P. Diddy, Lil Wayne, TI, and Lloyd for an upcoming
Sean John’s Spring 2005 print campaign.
In further collaboration news, Pitbull guests on acclaimed
Cuban rappers Orishas’ forthcoming album “Kilo” (due out
March 29th). Pitbull also recently recorded a Spanish
version of his hit song “Dammit Man” with Latin rappers
Voltio and
Chingo Bling, with the tune re-christened as
“Dale Mang.” Other recent Pitbull collaborations include
performances on Baby Bash’s new album “Trees” (Universal)
and Adassa's album entitled "Kumasutra" (Universal Music
Latino – March 22nd).
Unlike many other Latino rappers, Pitbull has managed to
achieve success in the mainstream hip-hop world with
bilingual lyrics and potent beats laced with
reggaeton. He
is equally comfortable sharing the stage at the VIBE Awards
with Lil Jon as he is collaborating with Paulina Rubio in an
attention-grabbing performance at the recent MTV Latin
America Awards. Evidencing Pitbull’s growing acceptance
among mainstream hip-hop fans, his clip for “Culo” was
recently nominated for MTV's “Best Booty Shakin’ Video of
2004.”
Pitbull released his debut album “M.I.A.M.I.: Money Is A
Major Issue”, on New York-based independent label TVT
Records this past August. The album, which hit #14 on the
Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, was produced by The
Diaz
Brothers and by super producer/artist Lil Jon. It features
heavyweight guests such as Lil Jon, Trick Daddy, Fat Joe,
and others. The 24 year-old Cuban-American rapper’s
infectious sound combines hip-hop, crunk, reggae, reggeton,
and dancehall, with English and Spanish lyrics. In what
seems like a short while, Pitbull has quickly become one of
the most buzzworthy hip-hop acts in the country and an MTV
favorite.
Pitbull can also be found playing himself in the upcoming
videogame “Scarface,” featuring Tony Montana. His song
“Culo” also appears in the videogame ‘Midnight Club 3 Dub.’
Pitbull’s album “M.I.A.M.I.” is now also starting to make
its mark outside the U.S., with the disc recently released
in the UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Australia. Pitbull
has just completed a highly-successful European tour,
bringing his bilingual hip-hop to the European masses for
the first time.
