In 1998, Wisin y Yandel got in the rap genre, recording for DJ Dicky's No Fear 3 under the Fresh Production label. In 1999, that same label signed them up and in that same year, they appeared in La Misión, Vol. 1, reaching gold status. The reception was so good that the label produced their first solo album in 2000 titled Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio. Before that, Yandel was working as a barber while Wisin had already some musical projects in mind.
In 2001, they reappear in La Misión II winning them their second gold record. That year, they also released their second solo album, De Nuevos a Viejos, turning into the best-selling album in the island and giving them their third gold album. La Misión III' came out as successful as its predecessors (backed by the hit song "Dembow"), garnering them their fourth gold album. In that year, they won a "Tu Música" award as the "Most Important Rap & Reggae Duo".
In November 2002, they release their third album titled De Otra Manera. As it was expected, the album got them their fifth gold album. A year later, they released its follow-up called Mi Vida.
In 2004, both of them decided to take a break and go solo. Yandel recorded Quien Contra Mí while Wisin released El Sobreviviente. The latter became a smash-hit, with guest stars such as Daddy Yankee and Alexis y Fido.
In 2005, they released their latest album titled Pa'l Mundo. They appear in the new Daddy Yankee CD, Barrio Fino en Directo.
In 2006, an album called Pa'l Mundo Deluxe Edition will be released on May 16.
Wisin (also known as "W" ["double u"]) was born Juan Luis Morera Luna on December 15, 1979 while Yandel was born Llandel Veguilla Malavé on January 14, 1977.
Their latest album was released in November of 2005 named Pal Mundo.
Additionally, in 2005 they established their own record label, titled "WY Records" (Double U-Y). They are known throughout Puerto Rico as "El Duo Dinamico" or "El Duo De La Historia".

(Dame una barría!)
Eah, tú 'tas encendía, ma'
Si me le pego ella me pide mas
(Dame una barría!)
Eah, tú 'tas encendía, ma'
Si me le pego ella me pide
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
Si me le pego ella me pide mas

(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
Mama mía, relax
Deja las cabronerías
Pa' atrás, pa' atrás
O termina en el Pavía
Eah, la lucía 'ta sacando cría
Pa' atrás, pa' atrás
O de aquí sales partía
Huye que te cogo
No me ronques que de na' me enojo
Ojo, ese gato tuyo es boquiflojo
Me fascina el tojo
Pa' volarte en cantos el gistro rojo
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
O con la .40 los mojo
Eah, mami, see ya
Eah, te fuiste por la vía
Eah, hoy te vo'a poner las cocolías
Mama mía, por estar con tanta satería
(Pa' atrás, pa' atrás!)
(Tan-tan, chulería!)

Si quiere songoro cosongo yo supongo
Que esa yegua esta buscando un chongo
Estofona, aquí esta tu diptongo
Dale, úsala, que eso ya tiene hongo
Y dale plancha plancha, si se engancha
Con acetona se quita esa mancha
Mami, te noto guillá de pancha
Cuida'o con la avalancha
Yo siempre salgo por las puertas anchas
Y dale, bárrela bárrela con el escobillón
Te voy a llevar a otra dimensión
Móntate en el viaje hacia Plutón
Yo soy el que menea el sopón
Si me le pego ella me pide

The lyrics to La Barria by Wisin y Yandel depict a woman who is enamored by the singer, with her asking for more as he gets closer to her. The singer urges her to relax and avoid any trouble, warning her that she may end up in trouble. The woman is described as being flashy and reckless, and the singer seems to be warning her about her safety. The chorus repeats the line 'dame una barria' which translates to 'give me a barricade.' The song speaks about the woman being guarded, maybe from her reckless lifestyle and only opening up to the singer romantically.
The second verse describes a man who is trying to seduce the singer but is unsuccessful as the singer warns him about his safety. The singer warns him about his pride and that he shouldn't take things lightly, as he will get into trouble without realizing the extent of the situation. The singer also alludes to his strength and power, which he can use at will to protect himself.
The chorus repeats, and the song ends with a collaborative outro with other artists.
