After Wisin & Yandel became Puerto Rico's most eminent reggaetón act of the ‘00s, Yandel spread his wings with the club-ready 2013 album De Líder a Leyenda. He established himself as a solo superstar through a masterful mix of brilliant electronic beats and thundering tropical offshoots (for proof, listen to “Plakito” and the later “Calentura”). His wildly seductive flow and combustible rhythms lifted slower songs like “Encantadora”. Mixing hip-hop, pop and EDM against undulating dembow grooves, Yandel elevated his genre.
