His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006's El Mariel, 2007's The Boatlift and 2009's Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200.
Pitbull's breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo "Culo" produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro-Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on freedom fighter revolutionary leader Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized freedom fighter revolutionary Che Guevara's iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull's hit single "Dammit Man" produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980's Scarface. His super hit "Toma" is featured in WWE Day of Reckoning 2. Also, an album cut, "Back Up" produced by The Diaz Brothers, is featured on the EA game Fight Night: Round 2. In late 2005 he re-released "M.I.A.M.I." as a separate charting entry, whilst his "Welcome to the 305" mixtape was released. In January 2006 he guest-starred in UPN's South Beach. Also in 2006 he recorded "Nuestro Himno" in collaboration with Wyclef Jean, Carlos Ponce, and Olga Tañón.
The first single from El Mariel has been released, entitled "Bojangles". The album, slated for an October 31st release, will feature guest artists Lil Jon, Ken-Y of Rakim y Ken-Y, Rick Ross, Bun B and the Ying Yang Twins. El Mariel will lead up to Pitbull's 2007 release of an all-Spanish album entitled "Armando", which will have an Afro-Cuban feel[1]

Pitbull, Casely
I know you see me in your dreams
My mind's playin' tricks on me
I know you see me in your dreams
My mind's playin' tricks on me
My mind's playin' tricks on me
I know you see me in your dreams
That's why
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night you think about me
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, don't try to fight it
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, don't try to hide it
In the night, in the middle of the night
You think about me, girl
Yo me siento caliente (dale candela)
Tú me pones caliente (dale candela)
Yo me siento caliente (dale candela)
Tú me pones caliente (dale candela)
I'ma introduce you to the real me
It's the 3-0-5, ?til it kill me
I'm like a deck of cards, you gotta deal with me
Want war? Then Navy Seal with me
I don't need ice for women to chill with me
Drivin' crazy like Bobby did Whitney
Or like Kevin did Britney
Or maybe like Kanye did 50
I'm as drunk as a skunk, high as a hippie
Whole lot of vodka, little bit of creepy
All suckee-suckee, please no hickey
Baby mess with me, I'll have you in the
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night you think about me
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, don't try to fight it
In the night, in the middle of the night

Wanna see you, see you
Wanna taste you, taste you
Wanna feel you, feel you
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout
But them nights, nights
Only happen, happen
Once in your life, life
And I ain't rappin?
I wanna take you 'til ecstasy, without ecstasy
Just follow me, follow me
And let me do the things I want to
I promise baby that you'll want me to
I wanna strap you, shake you, break you
Make you lose your mind, lose control and lose it all
C'mon baby, I make it hot weather, spring, summer, fall
That's why
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night you think about me
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, don't try to fight it
In the night, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, don't try to hide it
In the night, in the middle of the night

"Midnight" is a song by Pitbull ft. Casely, released in 2007. The song is a mix of hip-hop and reggaeton, both popular genres in Pitbull's music. In "Midnight," Pitbull raps about wanting to be with a woman, and he knows that she feels the same way. He is confident in his abilities to satisfy her and wants her to follow him.
The song's chorus is about the woman's dreams, and Pitbull's voice sounds distant, like he's in another room – perhaps in her dream. This creates a haunting effect, like he's always lurking in the back of her mind. As the song progresses, the beat becomes more intense, and Pitbull's rapping becomes faster.
In the bridge, he says he wants to "strap you, shake you, break you," but assures her that she'll want him to. The song's overall theme seems to be that Pitbull and Casely are irresistible and know how to make women feel desirable while reminding them that they are always present.

Ven, pick that up, boy
Come over and listen carefully
I know you see me in your dreams
You keep imagining me
My mind's playin' tricks on me
Your thoughts are confusing you
In the night, in the middle of the night
During the quiet hours, when it's late at night
You think about me
Your thoughts are occupied with me
Yo me siento caliente (dale candela)
I'm feeling hot (let's light it up)
Tú me pones caliente (dale candela)
You make me hot (let's light it up)

It's the 3-0-5, ?til it kill me
Representing Miami until I die
Want war? Then Navy Seal with me
If you want a battle, let's take it to the extreme
Drivin' crazy like Bobby did Whitney
Going mad just like the late music legends
Or like Kevin did Britney
Losing control like famous icons
Or maybe like Kanye did 50
Getting worked up like other celebrities
I'm as drunk as a skunk, high as a hippie
I'm feeling wasted, both from alcohol and drugs
All suckee-suckee, please no hickey
All sexual pleasure, please don't leave any marks on me
Baby mess with me, I'll have you in the
If you get too close, I'll have you under my spell
Wanna see you, see you
I want to lay my eyes on you
Wanna taste you, taste you
I want to have a taste of you
Wanna feel you, feel you
I want to experience you
But them nights, nights only happen, happen once in your life
These kinds of experiences only come once in a lifetime
And I ain't rappin?
I'm not just saying this for the sake of saying it
I wanna take you 'til ecstasy, without ecstasy
I want to give you the ultimate pleasure
Just follow me, follow me
Just trust me and let me lead the way
I promise baby that you'll want me to
I guarantee that you'll crave for more
I wanna strap you, shake you, break you
I want to make you lose control completely
Make you lose your mind, lose control and lose it all
I want to make you go insane with desire
C'mon baby, I make it hot weather, spring, summer, fall
I can make every season feel like summer with my passion
Yeah, it's the 3-0-5, yeah, Casely
Representing Miami with Casely
We got it goin' in the middle of the night
We are unstoppable during the late hours
