King of Kings (CD - 2006)

Released in mid 2006, KING OF KINGS finds Don Omar challenging fellow Puerto Rican superstar Daddy Yankee for the reggaeton throne. While the opening track, "Intro: Predica," presents Omar energetically rapping en Espanol over the string lines of the self-appointed "hip-hop violinist," Miri Ben-Ari, "Belly Danza" (featuring Beenie Man) works a lively dancehall vibe. Of course, Omar is sure not to leave more traditional Latin sounds behind, as evidenced by several frenetically rhythmic tracks--including "Cuentale," to name just one--on this assured and dynamic album. minimize
