Cuban-American Rapper Is Joined by Lil Jon For Hard-Hitting Bilingual Single That Is Sure To Light Up The Dancefloors; New Single Has Already Been Featured on Last Week¹s Episode of NBC's 'Las Vegas.' - Pitbull Participates in New Sean John Endorsement Campaign Alongside P.Diddy, Lil Wayne, TI, and Lloyd.

Album Sales For Pitbull's Debut Album 'M.I.A.M.I.' (TVT Records) Surpass 300,000 Copies As Pitbull Remains In the Spotlight With Recent Collaborations With Lil Jon, Daddy Yankee, and Noreaga.

With his own two singles "Culo" and "Dammit Man" having landed heavy mainstream radio and MTV play, Pitbull is gearing up for the release of his third single and video, "Toma", which features Lil Jon as guest vocalist.
The collaboration marks a return to the airwaves for the pair, who scored big this past summer with the breakthrough hit "Culo". The new single was already prominently featured in last week¹s episode of the NBC show 'Las Vegas'.

The Miami-based rapper also continues to make noise on the charts with his inclusion on the track 'What U Gonna Do' on the new Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz album 'Crunk Juice' (which recently debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top
200 Albums Chart) as well as his collaboration with Daddy Yankee and Noreaga on the popular remix of Daddy Yankee¹s hit 'Gasolina', which is also included on the limited edition version of 'Crunk Juice'. Pitbull also has
just completed a photo shoot alongside P. Diddy, Lil Wayne, TI, and Lloyd for an upcoming Sean John¹s Spring 2005 print campaign.

Unlike many other Latino rappers, Pitbull has managed to achieve success in the mainstream hip-hop world with bilingual lyrics and potent beats laced with reggaeton. He is equally comfortable sharing the stage at the VIBE Awards with Lil Jon as he is collaborating with Paulina Rubio in an attention-grabbing performance at the recent MTV Latin America Awards. Evidencing Pitbull's growing acceptance among mainstream hip-hop fans, his clip for "Culo" was recently nominated for MTV's 'Best Booty Shakin¹ Video of 2004.' Pitbull also participated in MTV's recent '$2 Bill Tour' alongside Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, and Mase.

Sharp and outspoken, Pitbull contributed an essay to the NY Post last month in which he condemned the iconization of Che Guevara. He has spoken on National Public Radio about Cuban-American relations, and is the subject of
an upcoming feature in The Source regarding his stance on Fidel Castro.

Pitbull released his debut album 'M.I.A.M.I.: Money Is A Major Issue', on New York-based independent label TVT Records this past August. The album, which hit #14 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, was produced by The
Diaz Brothers and by super producer/artist Lil Jon. It features heavyweight guests such as Lil Jon, Trick Daddy, Fat Joe, and others. The 23 year-old Cuban-American rapper¹s infectious sound combines hip-hop, crunk, reggae, reggeton and dancehall, with English and Spanish lyrics. In what seems like a short while, Pitbull has quickly become one of the most buzzworthy hip-hop
acts in the country and an MTV favorite.

Going into 2005, Pitbull is set to remain in the spotlight with upcoming performances on NBC'S 'Weekend Vibe', BET Madd Sports, Pepsi Musica, and SiTV.

Pitbull's songs will be making appearances on various video games in 2005 as well. His album 'M.I.A.M.I.' is now also starting to make its mark outside the U.S., with the disc recently released in the UK, Spain, France, Germany and Australia. Stay tuned for more news!
