Musical careers
At the age of 10 they started their career in 1988, and along with DJ Playero and Vico C, were one of the first reggaeton artists. Even so, they failed to get much recognition. By the age of 14 (1992) reggaeton was extremely popular among the underground scene. Due to its obscene and vulgar lyrics, the Puerto Rican government tried to eliminate it completely. Baby Rasta y Gringo, along with Tempo, responded by producing songs aimed at the government.
In 1998 they released their first album, titled New Prophecy. With the arrival of Héctor y Tito, who were quickly becoming reggaeton's greatest talent, were one of among others their biggest competition.
After only appearing on several compilation albums, they released their second album, Fire Live in 2003. It sold better than their previous album. Baby Rasta y Gringo were quickly garnering enemies, due to many of their songs being aimed at other artists, because other artists were dissing them in songs, namely Lito y Polaco and Pina Records. Even after all this, they were the most popular underground duo, with sold-out concerts in dance halls and such. They were also getting individual attention, with Baby Rasta being noted for his skills at writing romantic lyrics and Gringo for his rapping abilities.
With reggaeton finally getting worldwide recognition, and other duo's (H&T, Karel y Voltio, among others) on the verge of separating, they decided to try once more, and released Sentenciados in 2004. This was the break they had been waiting for for so long. Sentenciados was, and still is, regarded as one of the greatest reggaeton albums of all time. Featuring many hits, it included El Carnaval, the duo's biggest hit, and one of the most popular dancehall songs in Puerto Rico. They also made big hits with Cheka. Making songs together became a hit for Baby Rasta and Gringo.
[edit] Separation and solo careers
They separated in December, 2004 because of problems with their record producer, who Gringo says paid more attention to Baby Rasta alone, instead of to them both as a group. It has been alleged that they have an ongoing beef, with people alleging that Baby Rasta has dissed his former partner in live shows.
Baby Rasta has achieved success and fame, mostly due to his appearing on many artist's albums and landing a hit with his only Billboard Top 100 hit so far, Hay De Mi, with producer Noriega.
Gringo's solo album El Independiente was released in March of 2007. Gringo also released Reggaeton Con Navidad on December 13, 2005. It featured Bebe, Machito, Klasico, and many others.
In 2006 Baby Rasta released his first solo album "La Ultima Risa", which due to poor promotion did not reach incredible heights in terms of sales. However, many underground fans, most who bootlegged the album, labeled it as the best reggaeton album of the year. Later in 2006, Baby Rasta released his single "Toma Nena". Gringo released his solo album "El Independiente" in 2007. Baby Rasta has a new record of his own called Illegal Life Records
[edit] Reunited
In late 2007, Baby Rasta & Gringo have reunited for the first time in 3 years because Baby Rasta has said in previous interviews that he cant live without his babyboo Gringo. Baby Rasta is to come out with his new CD late 2007 or 2008. It's called 'Hip Hop Reality'

Que tanto busca conmigo
Que hasta me tiene por piso
Y no sé por qué
Y la mierda que tú hablas de mí
Te la tendrás que comer
Y yo me quedo tranquilo
Así que vete con él
No sé por qué tú me niegas
Si yo sé que tú me prefieres
Cuando lo hacemos a mi manera
Me dice que no lo saque, que hay lo deje, yeah
No sé por qué tú me niegas
Si yo sé que tú me prefieres
Cuando lo hacemos a mi manera
Me dice que no lo saque, que hay lo deje, yeah
Pero tú sabes la verdad, el que te pone contenta
Habla lo que quieras, que de mala tú aparentas
Tu tanto guille que le da, pero la realidad
Por las noches yo soy el que te calienta
Yo soy el que te hace los truquitos que te gustan
Tus amigas me bregan y rápido preguntan
Viste como ella por mí se desviste
Tú te la jugaste, te envolviste y perdiste
No te lo hizo bien, bien tu amiga me contó
Que en tu vida te hace falta un hombre como yo
Que no te dió lo que te di y a pesar del tiempo
No puedes vivir sin mí
No sé por qué tú me niegas
Si yo sé que tú me prefieres
Cuando lo hacemos a mi manera
Me dice que no lo saque, que hay lo deje, yeah
No sé por qué tú me niegas

Desde las 12 a hasta las siete coge el culo pal carajo
No sé por qué tú me niegas
Si yo sé que tú me prefieres
Cuando lo hacemos a mi manera
Me dice que no lo saque, que hay lo deje, yeah
No sé por qué tú me niegas

Cuando lo hacemos a mi manera
Me dice que no lo saque, que hay lo deje, yeah
Tú sabes que nosotros no estamos jugando
Eme music
Papito nosotros somos los que estamos comandando
Y dejando la brea

The lyrics to Baby Rasta & Gringo's song Me Niegas are about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is confused about why the person they are singing to is denying their feelings towards them. They have heard that this person talks about them often and yet, they deny any feelings towards the singer. The singer says that the person will have to deal with what they say about them, but the singer remains calm and collected. They urge the person to leave with someone else.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how the person denies their feelings even though they know the truth. The singer believes that they are the person the other one really wants. They say that they know how to please the person and that they are the one that "keeps them warm at night". The singer believes that they are the one the person needs in their life.
The third verse talks about how the singer has proof that they were with the person they are singing to. They say they will put a picture of the two of them together for everyone to see. The singer says they will keep giving them what they want and that they will keep on seeing each other. The end of the song makes it clear that the singer won't stop pursuing the person they are singing to.
