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".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si no estas bailando con ella
Salte ('why', Yandel!)
Si no estas perreando con ella
Salte (Luny! Medio millón de copias, obligao'!)
Si no estas bailando con ella
Salte (El dúo de la historia!)
Para hacerle (En "Mas Flow 2"!)
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Esta noche quiero hacerle
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Eeeeeh
(Me toca a mi!)
Capicu, llego el frontú
No trates de apagarme
Porque te apagas tú
'W', apagale la luz
Mami, acelera duro ese cucu
Tiene veinte enemigas
Dos amigas
Pantalla en la barriga
Tatuaje en la vejiga
En el culipandeo ella mata la liga
Siga (Siga, siga!)
Para hacerle
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Esta noche quiero hacerle
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Eeeeeh
(Nelly, nos vamos)
Le gusta que Wisin la jale por el pelo
Gritalo (Papi, dame lo que quiero!)
Siente la presión del callejero
Gritalo (Papi, dame lo que quiero!)
Bizcochito, dame un beso con sabor a caramelo
Gritalo (Papi, dame lo que quiero!)
Cielo, ese trago le hare falta hielo
Gritalo (Papi, dame lo que quiero!)
Pues tenga lo suyo, sin orgullo
Yo tengo el agua pa ese capullo
(Ssssss) Mami, deja el murmullo
Cogelo, que es tuyo
Para hacerle
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Esta noche quiero hacerle
Rakata, rakata
Si se me pega voy a darle
Rakata, rakata
Eeeeeh
Luny!
Ahora hay que trabajar!
De medio millón pa' arriba!
Tu sabes!
El dúo de la historia
'W', el sobreviviente!
Con Yandel!
Ellos lo saben!
"Mas Flow 2"!

Este disco no hay quien lo supere!
Matando la liga, el arma secreta, sin miedo!
Nelly!
"Mas Flow 2"!
'W', el sobreviviente!
Con Yandel!
El dúo dinámico!
