Musical History of Wisin y Yandel

Wisin y Yandel made their debut on DJ Dicky's release of No Fear 3, in 1998. The album was released by Fresh Productions and later that year Wisin & Yandel signed to their label and released their debut album: Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio. All of the albums released after their debut were large sucesses in the Latin American markets. Both Wisin & Yandel also released solo albums. However, it was not until the release of Pa'l Mundo, in 2005, that they caught the attention of non-Spanish speaking audiences. The duo have produced several chart topping hits and have even come out with their own record label, WY Records. WY Records is the strongest label, ranked number one, for reggaeton artists, stealing the spot from Daddy Yankee's El Cartel Records, and also putting Don Omar's All Star Records in third place in ranking. Since the beginning of their career, Wisin & Yandel also done several collaborations with English speaking artists such as R Kelly, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nelly Furtado, Fat Joe, Eve, G-Unit, Akon,T-Pain, and 50 Cent. The duo was also nominated for a MTV Music Video Award in 2009 in the category "Best Pop Video" for their video for the song Abusadora. These two talented individuals have gotten themselves to the top in the Latin American markets and are on their way to the top in the American markets as well. Wisin creates a sick flow while Yandel is waiting to serenade you with his words. Soon, everyone in America will be standing in line for their Wisin & Yandel concert ticket.
