In this ever changing music industry,Daddy Yankee continues to show the world why they call him, "The Big Boss". With a continuous evolution of sound and image, Yankee once again finds himself at the top of the charts with his megahit, Lovumba. The contagious followup single from his upcoming release "Prestige" has been taking over the airwaves steadily over the past few weeks since it's debut. Coming in this week at an impressive #1 spot on the Urban charts#2 on the Tropical#3 National, and #7 Contemporary with no signs of slowing down.

This past weekend's explosive performance at 90 Degrees in Miami was surely fuel to the fire. In celebration of a dear friend's birthday, Yankee took to the stage in a rare club performance for hundreds of fans and club-goers. Performing a slew of his chart-topping hits, as well as proving once again his incomparable talent as a freestyle lyricist the award winning artist kept the crowd dancing throughout the night.

In addition to his performance over the weekend, Yankee took advantage of his time here in Miami and decided to bring Christmas early to a group of children at the Youth Co-op Refugee Center. The center, which helps refugee families find work, shelter, and much more was surprised Friday afternoon when the multi-platinum selling artist arrived with toys and gifts for over 80 children and teens.

"I've always been a strong believer in giving back to others, especially this time of year. These families have been through so much, and it's an honor to come and visit with them." says Yankee.

As the new year quickly approaches, Daddy Yankee is busy putting the finishing touches on his highly anticipated release, "Prestige" due out in early 2012. He is also nominated for collaboration of the yearurban artist of the year, and song of the year at this year's Premios Lo Nuestro airing February 16th on Univision.
