Daddy Yankee
Homerun-es
Release Date: 2005 03 29
Label: Machete Music
Rating:

In the wake of Daddy Yankee's breakthrough success with Barrio Fino (2004), Machete Music re-released Los Homerun-es, a semi-compilation of previously released material from the reggaeton superstar's underground years. Most of this material was originally released on Puerto Rican mixtapes, some of it dating back to the 1990s. Los Homerun-es, originally released in 2003 by VI Music, kicks off with some more recent material; for instance, "Segurosqui" and "Gata Gangsta," the latter a collaboration with Don Omar, were released shortly before Barrio Fino. These album-opening songs are highlights, no doubt, but Los Homerun-es gets especially interesting once the track list reaches "Donde Mi No Vengas," the first of a run of tracks taken from Playero mixtapes. These recordings date back to the mid-'90s and consequently are formative in nature, with Daddy Yankee employing a reggae-style flow over a rudimentary "dem bow" riddim for several minutes. These Playero recordings are quite storied nowadays, and it's great to have them readily available here in good quality. There are also some non-Playero mixtape recordings; "Mix Rap 1: 30-30/Mi Fanatico/Se Acelera el Flow," from 1997, is one such highlight, featuring New York legend Nas and showcasing Daddy Yankee rapping over a Mobb Deep-style rhythm. In total, Los Homerun-es represents a selective journey through Daddy Yankee's underground years, before he teamed up with Luny Tunes and broke through with "Gasolina." In fact, Los Homerun-es is an ideal complement to Barrio Fino, for the stark contrast of the two reflects the evolution reggaeton underwent in 2003-2004, roughly the point in time when the style came to fruition after years of street-level synthesis.
