Imagine getting cheers and screams from over 40,000 fans in two days! This past weekend, Daddy Yankee literally crossed two coasts for a set of wild performances that El Cangri is a musical force to be reckoned with.

First stop: LA’s huge Staples Center. Not many music artists can fill this venue. If you want to play Staples, you better have a massive following. On Friday (July 23) Daddy Yankee proved his power by maxing out capacity and getting over 20,000 fans roaring for hits like “Gasolina” “Muchocando” and his newest #1, “Descontrol.”

Oh no, Daddy Yankee didn’t stop there. Literally the next day he was back on stage on the other side of the continent for Puerto Rico’s Guaya Guaya Fest. Now if Daddy can get 20,000 LA peeps excited, imagine what he can do on his home turf!

Yup, 24 hours after 20,000 west coast fans screamed his name, 22,000 Puerto Ricans were doing the same thing. And Guaya Guaya attendees got an even better treat. A surprise duet of “Gata Gangster” with Reggaeton king Don Omar!

You never quite know what you’ll get with a Daddy Yankee live show. A surprise guest star? Thundering bass beats? Or maybe an opportunity to make 19,999 new friends. Keep ‘em coming Big Boss!

Newcomer to the urban scene Mexia, who you may recognize from the recent MTV Tr3s Descubre & Download promotion, was criminally assaulted last week after celebrating su cumpleaños is San Jose, CA.  A group of unidentified people were responsible for the random attack on el artista Mexicano, which resulted in visible wounds and minor fractures to his face.  Qué horror!!!

A consecuencia del ataque, Mexia had to cancel his upcoming promotional trip to Miami, FL, where he was set to appear on various TV shows to support his debut album, 'Past Present Future.'  El cantante, whose padre is none other than legendary Los Tigres Del Norte performer Hernán Hernández, has said he is on the mend, but will not be able to fully recover until mid-November.  In a press release today, he thanked his fans for their support.

"Only a nation of millions can hold me back."

We wish Mexia a quick recovery!!
