The album (which doubles as the soundtrack to the film) is as impressive a release as one would expect from the superstar. Pulsing with slick beats and epic production, TALENTO DE BARRIO distinguished itself from other reggaeton albums by moving away from the often monotonous stylistic signposts of the genre and allowing for a more diverse sound. "Salgo Pa La Calle" features production from studio aces Luney Tunes and rides skittering synth lines over buoyant beats, while "Suelta" opens with an insistent thump before switching gears into a more traditional reggaeton rhythm. "De La Paz Y de La Guerra," the album's most notable track, drifts the furthest from traditional reggaeton with its distinct meringue vibe. Daddy Yankee delivers on every track and keeps pace with the album's wide-screen feel; in the process he shows the seemingly endless possibilities for a genre once thought to be a creative cul-de-sac. minimize
