Get ready because 2019 marks an important year in reggeaton history — the 15th anniversary of the release of Daddy Yankee's album, Barrio Fino. In honor of his breakout work of music, the Big Boss will be joined by Ozuna, Yandel, J Balvin, and others as they sing some of the most popular tracks, including "Lo Que Pasó, Pasó," "Tu Principe," and of course, "Gasolina."

Daddy will also be receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's show — and TBH it's about time. For Americans, he might be best known for his song, "Despacito," which was remixed by Justin Bieber, but Daddy (real name: Ramón Ayala) has been rapping since the early '90s. However, it wasn't until he released "Gasolina" in 2004 that he became a worldwide music icon.
“I was in Israel, I was in Poland, I was in Belgium, in France, in Italy, and people were singing our songs,” the 42-year-old told Billboard of his "Despacito" success. “It was an amazing feeling. I remember back in the day we were the guys singing the songs by American artists and we didn’t know what they were saying. Right now, we’re receiving the same feedback they had back in the day."
