Babycat siempre han estado atados uno a el otro. Joel fue un influyente dj y productor quien
empezó junto al gran Ruben DJ y también famosamente mezcló la producción ‘The
Noise 1’ junto a DJ Eric. Babycat es
pionero del Underground mayormente acordado por su éxito “Numero Uno”. Pero juntos obraron muchas producciones

60 Bebe (The Noise)
The Noise's secret lyrical weapon known for holding his own against DJ Eric's Industry and being a top level hitmaker.
59 Notch (Born Jamericans)
Many Reggae enthusiasts are unaware that Notch had a 10+ year incursion into Reggaeton beginning in 2003 which was very successful. He proved to be equally as impressive over Reggaeton beats as he was with Dancehall-Reggae, Hip Hop and R&B. Songs such as the Bad Bunny sampled "Chevere" with Voltio, "Hay Que Bueno", "Verme" ft Baby Ranks, "Bad Boys From PR" also featuring Voltio, and "Que Te Pica" became very memorable tunes inside the Reggaeton pantheon.
OG Black originally began in the duo Ultramagnetic Boom with Q Mac Daddy. Master Joe started out with Playero, DJ Dynamite & DJ Joe. Master Joe & OG Black became friends through working on the same productions with the same dj's. Their duo was born out of their disagreements with Playero over lack of royalty payments despite Playero being one of the few underground acts to go platinum. This caused them to form the famous 'Escuadron Del Panico' alongside DJ Joe who would have a rivalry with Playero and some of his singers (though DJ Joe and Playero remained friends).. The duo then formed a historic partnership with Pina Records which led to international acclaim and success in the 2000's. Both remain active to this day.
57 Tiro De Gracia
Juan Sativo, Lenwa Dura, Explícito y DJ Borna formed a notable Hip Hop group from Chile in the 1990's.. Their album "Ser Humano" is known as one of the most historic works in the history of Hip Hop En Español.
The Argentinian MC has left his mark on the game, arguably in a permanent fashion. Considered to be among the Top Latin MCs worldwide as of this time; he probably doesn't even care about being mentioned in a list like this which makes him even more deserving.
Anuel AA was an Urban music revelation when he bursted onto the scene in the mid 2010's with much thanks to the great management of Spiff TV. We had not yet heard an artist like Anuel in those days when he first made noise and maybe that is why his impact on the culture was taken for granted after artists like Bad Bunny and Eladio Carrion followed suit in the same lane. Anuel has always been an exciting artist to watch and continues making good and impactful music to this day.
55 Yaga & MackieThe duo who was known for "Sonando Diferente" have one of the greatest all-time Perreo albums by the same title. First formed in 2001, the duo caused waves within the Reggaeton genre for over 20 years.
One of the most exciting vocalists in all of Pop Music today, he has never strayed far away from his Urbano roots and continues to entertain an ever growing audience a decade into his still burgeoning career.
This Latin Hip Hop trio became famous for fusing traditional Cuban 'Son' with Rap. Their formula proved very successful and has garnered them worldwide recognition for almost 3 decades.
One of the chief toasters praised for his very unique Raggamuffin style, he was one of the most influential figures of 1990's Reggaeton.
J Alvarez (Honorable Mention)J Alvarez is possibly one of the most naturally gifted talents on this list, but he often wasted it as well. Yet his memorable works are so impactful he still made the list.
The principal founder of Hip Hop Collective 'No Mel Syndicate', Coo-Kee has produced hits for the likes of Eddie Dee, Tego Calderon, Mexicano 777, Lito y Polaco & Cavalucci. His 2005 album "Poco, Antes, Nunca" has become a cult classic despite being quite obscure.
50 Rosalía
The Spanish songstress is widely recognized as one of the most compelling acts within all of Latin Music today. Her 2022 album "Motomami" received widespread acclaim and won the 2022 Latin Grammy award for album of the year in all categories.
49 DJ Nelson
Often considered the Dr Dre of Spanish Rap and Reggaeton. He discovered so many talents but is an adept producer himself having worked on classic albums like The Noise 5 and 6, "Reggaeton Live", "The Flow, "Broke and Famous" and his very own "Flow La Discoteka 2" among countless others... Among the artists and producers DJ Nelson discovered/signed include Jay Wheeler, J Alvarez, Luny Tunes & Noriega, DJ Sonic, Las Guanabanas, Nejo y Dalmata, Nottyplay, Andy Boy & DJ Memo.
Originally a trio, then they became more famous as a duo; Trebol Clan hit the jackpot when legendary dj/producer DJ Joe discovered them in 1996. Before that Joe was already a legend in the game with 4 underground compilations which all made great impact. Their fruitful collaboration culminated in the 2004 masterpiece "Los Bacatranes" co-executively produced by Hector El Father. DJ Joe & Trebol Clan continue making noise unto this day and Joe has worked pretty much with almost every great to have come out of Puerto Rico from Daddy Yankee to Bad Bunny.
DJ Pablito & La Factoria (Honorable Mention)
What started out as a various artist compilation album morphed into one of the best selling groups in Urbano Latino history. Under the tutelage and innovative music production from DJ Pablito among others (Predikador, Chombo, Diblasio etc...) the original incarnation of La Factoria which consisted of Demphra, Joycee and Joey Montana created many memorable songs that are still popular today.
47 Horny Man y Panty ManNo se equivoquen por el nombre. El Hombre H y el Hombre P son dos de los artistas mas creativos en la historia del género. Y contrario a su nombre, no solo hablaban de sexo. Tenían temas sociales e inteligentes pero eso si le meten bastante al bailoteo y del bueno.
46 Ñengo FlowEl violento liricsta en verdad ha creado algunas de las canciones mas impactantes en la historia del género. ‘Real G 4 Life 1’ indudablemente es una obra maestra. Es posiblemente el rapero mas influyente en la historia del malianteo.
El 'Wailan' Roockie has been one of Panama's premiere artists for a very longtime. Very versatile in both content and styles which is why he is known as la "Maquina De Lirica" or "Lyric Machine". He can do a sexy romantic Reggae like "Sigue Bailando" at the same time as stunt on the opposition with "Quien Es El Buay?". Roockie has done it all.
Tote King's younger brother has proven himself to be even more gifted than one of the GOATS of Spanish Rap. Whether it's albums like "Flowesia" or "Para Mi Gente" or his infamous lyrical battle against SFDK's Zatu on wax in "Ternero Podrido"; Shotta has proven to be among the best of the best when it comes to flow and pure lyrical ability.
43 Plan B (Chencho & Maldy)
From the beginning Chencho y Maldy were a factory of hitmaking Perreo tracks. "Plan C", "Be- Bellaqueo", "Guata Gata", "Hey You Girl", "Chica Ven Pa Ca", "Mencionando Tu Nombre" and that was just in their first 2 years. They would peak almost 10 years into their career with the all-time classic "Si No Le Contesto" and hit it out the park again 4 years later with "Candy". Chencho has done great solo, but Maldy isn't too far behind achieving notable success of his own.
42 Jowell & Randy
Jowell y
Randy han sido uno de los dúos mas enigmáticos en la historia. Su influencia transciende culturas y géneros
de músicas.
41 Tainy
Probably the most exciting music producer in all of Latin Music right now, Tainy from the beginning brought a fresh, new sound to the genre and has kept evolving and innovating all this time. He started producing hits at just 16 years old.
Uno de los duos mas influyentes del underground conocidos por tener un estilo muy original y violento.
