Reggeaton star Daddy Yankee says that after three decades in the music industry, the album he's releasing this week will be his last, followed by a tour.
Reggaeton and Latin urban music are the sound of global youth right now.
“This career, which has been a marathon, has to get to the finish line. Now I’m going to enjoy what you’ve given me and what we’ve given this genre,” he said in Sunday’s retirement video. “People say that I made it worldwide, but it was you who gave me the key to open the doors to make this genre the greatest in the world.”
