Filmed in Puerto Rico, the music video brings these two Latin music stars together in an explosive video collab, featuring vintage elements including a retro TV, a cassette player and polaroid photos, among other creative elements that set the tone for the video. The video begins with a performance broadcast through a vintage TV screen; thereafter, the video builds into an explosive house party set around a campfire where sensual women and party goers groove to the rhythm of “Pasatiempo”. Without a doubt, this music video will set trends across all platforms.
Upon the release, LEGENDADDY bowed at #1 on the Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, making it his fifth consecutive #1 debut on the chart. Additionally, it catapulted the album into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top 200 chart (#8), marking his highest position on the chart to date and first Top 10 in 15 years since 2007’s El Cartel: The Big Boss. Simultaneously, the album soared to #1 on the Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums chart and has amassed over 1 billion worldwide streams.
LEGENDADDY incited widespread critical acclaim. Variety proclaimed, “Spanning over three decades of music, the 19-track collection captures the essence of reggaeton, salsa, dancehall, rap, trap, bachata, EDM, and Caribbean influencers,” and The New York Times noted, “The most dynamic moments come when Yankee reaches for the magic of the past – whether indulging in boastful hubris or summoning listeners into dance floor reverie.” Rolling Stone awarded the record “4-out-of-5 stars” and raved, “He’s going out in a blaze of glory.”

Yankee’s farewell album is hardly an occasion for tears but rather a celebration as LEGENDADDY has quickly become one of the biggest releases of all time. The album featured a slew of invited A-listers who celebrated over three decades of music on this 19-track opus. To herald the record’s arrival, he accompanied the album release with nine exhilarating and high-energy music videos for “AGUA,” “LA OLA,” “ZONA DEL PERREO,” “HOT,” “BOMBÓN,” “EL ABUSADOR DEL ABUSADOR,” “IMPARES,” and for the single “REMIX.” The single’s head-nodding beat and reggaeton production underscore hard-hitting verses and a rafter-reaching refrain. It pops off as a banger on par with his most applauded output. The accompanying visual proves equally scorching, stylish and sexy.
For one last time, Daddy Yankee will canvas the world on his farewell tour “LA ÚLTIMA VUELTA” (The Last Round). The tour began this past July 25 at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado with a completely SOLD OUT show and continued at The Forum in Los Angeles, California where they made history with 5 SOLD OUT shows. Promoted by Cardenas Marketing Network and Raphy Pina, MR Sold Out, the five-month trek includes some of the rapper-songwriters’ biggest headline shows in North America and Latin America to date. In addition, Daddy Yankee announced three tour dates for Puerto Rico on January 6, 7 and 8. Tickets are now available HERE (United States).
