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".
Mi Nombre Corre
Wisin y Yandel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La sangre, el coraje
Es lo que hace que desde el 98
Demuestre con Yandel
Que somos el duo de la Historia
Olle hermano
aki to somo hombre
dale abajo Yandel
Voy tras de ellos
Me llevo un pal de ellos
Mi nombre lo que esta corriendo(ta'mo ready)
Vivo entre balas, bandeandome en la mala
solo estoy sobreviviendo (Como!!)
Con que nebuliando con W, pelagato
Si te pillo en el arrebato, te mato
usted es tremendo ronkon y tu no rompe ni un plato
lo tuyo no es caro na' lo tuyo es barato
Usted es to' media y a quien remedia
Quien me pare de frente aki provoca una tragedia
De hombre a hombre usted no me llega a las medias
De este genero yo soy la enciclopedia
El sensey, el de Cayey
El que comparan con Scarface
El ma que mea saluden al Rey
De nuevo matando con Yandel OK
Voy tras de ellos
Me llevo un pal de ellos
Mi nombre lo que esta corriendo
Vivo entre balas, bandeandome en la mala
solo estoy sobreviviendo (W con Yandel)
El duo del poderio
Bendencio, y te invito a lo ____________
siempre Ready pal desafio
Y aunque me ria en nadio confio(Huh)
le puse nombre a tus alas
Repara que si W te jala
te va a recoje a la mala
usted me tiene cara de que señala
Y que de espalda puñala
Sonando mi nombre
En la calle,
por que sabe que yo soy un hombre
Sonando mi nombre
En el barrio,
por que saben que soy un sicario
Sonando mi rraserio.
Sonando mi nombre
Que si tiran, tu sabe que la mia responde
Voy tras de ellos
Me llevo un pal de ellos
Mi nombre lo que esta corriendo
Vivo entre balas, bandeandome en la mala
solo estoy sobreviviendo (W con Yandel)
Nunca he acostumbrado
A aparentar lo que no soy
Yo soy real hermano
W el sobreviviente con Yandel
Aceptenlo
El mejor duo de la Historia de Reggaeton
Eso esta escrito ya ok
Pal Mundo!!

The lyrics for Wisin y Yandel's "Mi Nombre Corre" tell the story of a duo who have been around since 1998 and have established themselves as the top act in reggaeton. The duo reflects on the struggles they have faced and the violence they have witnessed in their lives, as they try to survive and make a name for themselves. They address their haters, warning them not to mess with them, and they stake their claim as the "best duo in the history of reggaeton."
The lyrics also touch on the theme of authenticity, as Wisin y Yandel claim that they have never pretended to be something they're not. They assert that they are "real" and that their success is a result of their hard work and talent, rather than any sort of facade.
At the same time, "Mi Nombre Corre" also glorifies a life of violence and crime, with references to guns, bullets, and "bandeando en la mala" (being in the midst of the bad life). This is a common theme in reggaeton, where artists often celebrate gang culture and street life, presenting it as a path to power and respect.
Overall, "Mi Nombre Corre" is a powerful and gritty song that reflects the struggles and aspirations of Wisin y Yandel, as well as the reality of life in the inner city.
