![]() ![]() Yankee and Nicky Jam fell apart in 2004 due to personal issues and creative differences. In 2000, Daddy Yankee formed an unofficial duo called "Los Cangris" with Nicky Jam and released several successful singles together. Between those years, Ayala released a total of nine music videos, including "Posición" featuring Alberto Stylee, "Tu Cuerpo En La Cama" featuring Nicky Jam, and "Muévete Y Perrea". Both albums were successful in Puerto Rico, but not throughout Latin America. He released two compilation albums with original material: El Cartel (1997) and El Cartel II (2001). In 1997, Daddy Yankee collaborated with the rapper Nas, who was an inspiration for Ayala, in the song "The Profecy", for the album Boricua Guerrero. DJ Playero and Daddy Yankee would later be credited for inventing the name "reggaeton" to describe their music on the album Playero 36 in 1994. Throughout the 1990s, Daddy Yankee appeared in several of DJ Playero's underground mixtapes which were banned by the Puerto Rican government due to explicit lyrics these songs would later be among the first reggaeton songs ever produced. In doing so, he eventually abandoned the traditional model of rap and became one of the first artists to perform reggaeton. He went on to emulate other artists in the genre, including DJ Playero, DJ Nelson, and Tempo taking elements from their styles in order to develop an original style with the Dembow rhythm. Early in his career he attempted to imitate the rap style of Vico C. His first official studio project as a solo artist was No Mercy, which was released on Apthrough White Lion Records and BM Records in Puerto Rico. He first appeared on the 1994 DJ Playero's Mixtape, Playero 34, with the song "So' Persigueme, No Te Detengas". The bullet was never removed and he credits this incident with allowing him to pursue a musical career. Often considered to be one of the pioneers within the reggaeton genre, Ayala was originally going to become a professional baseball player but he was shot in his leg while taking a break from a studio recording session.
