Pitbull Gears
Up To Release New Single Toma The Follow-Up To His Breakthrough
Hits Culo And Dammit Man.
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!
