My Take
Yandel is woven into the very fabric of reggaeton for me. The Cayey-born Puerto Rican rose to fame as half of the legendary duo Wisin & Yandel before launching a solo career in 2003. His 2013 album De Líder a Leyenda went Gold, and his 2016 Latin Grammy wins confirm he's the real deal. What impresses me most is his staying power, thriving both in the duo and on his own across decades while the genre evolved around him. That smooth, sultry low register and mellow flow are unmistakably his. I'm drawn to artists who don't just ride trends but carry an entire genre forward.
