Ayala was born in Río Piedras, the largest district of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he became interested in music at a young age. In his youth he was interested in baseball, and aspired to become a Major League Baseball player. He was unable to continue this sport when he got shot in the leg by being mistaken for his friend by a unknown man, leaving him unable to walk correctly. He then became involved in the underground rap movement that was in its early stages in Puerto Rico, later to be called Reggaeton. After receiving lessons from several artists within the genre, he developed an independent career, first recording in a production titled Playero 37. After this he began to produce independent albums. His first solo album was No Mercy in 1995. He subsequently formed a duo with Nicky Jam, and then continued his solo career with the releases of El Cartel and El Cartel II. This led him be one of many pioneers of the reggaeton genre.

In 2002 El Cangri.com became Ayala's first album with international success, receiving coverage in the markets of New York and Miami. Barrio Fino was released in 2004, and the album received numerous awards, including a Premio Lo Nuestro and a Latin Billboard, as well as receiving nominations for the Latin Grammy and MTV Video Music Awards. Barrio Fino performed well in the sales charts of the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Japan. On June 5, 2007, El Cartel Records released El Cartel: The Big Boss, which was ranked as the top-selling album in Latin music genres in 2007. He promoted the album with an international tour which began in the United States and continued through Latin America, breaking attendance records in Ecuador and Bolivia. His performances have appeared on more than 70 albums, including compilations such as Mas Flow 2 and Blin Blin Vol. 1. Outside of his work as a musician, Ayala has also worked as an actor and producer. Throughout his career, he has been generally reticent to discuss his personal life, but has publicly expressed the importance of his wife and children to him.

Las palabras vertidas en esta canción
No se solidarizan con ningún cobarde (cobarde) en la calle
Pero sí con El Cartel Records
Daddy Yankee, Akon y todos los afiliados mundialmente

I got my heat, I got my balls

And enough heart to break all y'all jaws
But I rather round up my niggas from Puerto Rico
To help me out with this war
Now bring it on
Now bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Say bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Now bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)

Oye tas bregando con los anormales
Somos, los de los juguetes espaciales
Ya no, no le temo no, a los tribunales
Tú y quien van amedrentar con los metales, boy
You are a killer, me pone Daddy Yankee man
Ponte las pilas, si tienes guille Superman
Que rumba el cielo te puedo poner a volar
En guerra avisada como quiera muere gente porque

I got my nigga and my gun we open fire
You better get out of my way 'cause I'm a rider
At any time in the morning or even the evening
I'm laying this verse till you retire

Lets go, nosotros estamos dispuesto
En esto nosotros somos expertos
'Cause we're doing this everyday
In the ghetto which is part of the game we play

I got my heat, I got my balls
And enough Heart to break all y'all jaws
But I rather round up my niggas from Puerto Rico
To help me out with this war
Now bring it on
Now bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Say bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Now bring it on (estamos ready come on)

¿Qué carajo tú me vas hacer? si yo sé que a ti te parió la feca
Pon las balas donde pones tus palabras
Vamos a ver de que estas hecha muñeca
(You're not gangster) otro maleante de cartón
(I smell a Wangsta) Tú eres tremendo bobolón, pa
Fuck my English, también my broken Spanish
The sound of the gun is a universal language 'cause

I got my people and my gun we open fire
You better get out of my way cause I'm a rider
At any time in the morning or even the evening
I'm letting you splurge 'til you retire
Let's go, nosotros estamos dispuesto
En esto nosotros somos expertos
Cause we are doing this everyday
In the ghetto which is part of the game we play

I got my heat, I got my balls
And enough heart to break all y'all jaws
But I rather round up my niggas from Puerto Rico
To help me out with this war
Now bring it on
Now bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Say bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Now bring it on (estamos ready come on)

I got my heat, I got my balls
And enough heart to break all y'all's jaws (mucho corazón pa')
But I rather round up my niggas from Puerto Rico
To help me out with this war
Now bring it on
Now bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Say bring it on (tira pa'lante come on)
Now bring it on (estamos ready come on)

Estamos listos pa' lo que sea y pa lo que venga
We're ready man Don?t get it fucking twisted
We can get a ticket and we can fly out there and give you a visit in the cold
and we can turn it into heat

No te equivoques
Eso es bien fácil pa' nosotros
