They have been in the music business for a long time, but had failed to get any recognition for the majority of those years. They had minor hits such as "Baila Conmigo" for the 2003 compilation album "Desafío" and "Me Pones Tensión" for the album The Noise: La Biografía. These hits, along with others in the near future and increased radio play gave them more recognition. This gave them the chance to appear in major Reggaeton albums such as Luny Tunes' Mas Flow (2003) and Mas Flow 2 (2005), Blin Blin vol.1 (2003-4), Contra la Corriente (2004), and Cazadores, Primera Búsqueda (2005).
In May 2004, they released their first solo album, Motivando a la Yal. With hits such as "Doncella", "Bandida", and "Yo Voy" (featuring Daddy Yankee), the album reached gold certification[citation needed]. With the reggaeton genre becoming a worldwide phenomenon, Zion and Lennox's popularity increased. Motivando a la Yal: Special Edition was released a year later. The special edition had new songs along with remixed songs of the previous edition, such as "Don't Stop", "Bachatéalo", a remix to the song "Bandida", and a hip-hop remix of "Yo Voy" with Miri Ben-Ari, Fatman Scoop, and Pitbull entitled "Jump & Spread Out (DJ Precise and Cheeky Starr Version)".
Both Zion and Lennox are very active with solo songs. Zion has been more notable with songs like "Yo Voy a Llegar" for Reggaeton producer DJ Nelson's compilation album Flow la Discoteka, "Alócate" released on Luny Tunes's album Mas Flow 2.5, and "Con Ella Me Quedare" released in the fifth installment of the Alex Gargolas series, entitled Gargolas: The Next Generation. He also has turned up a new hit, "Que Pasara", for DJ Nelson's Flow la Discoteka 2. Zion has released a solo album entitled The Perfect Melody on June 5, 2007, with appearances by artists such as Akon and Play-n-Skillz. "The Way She Moves" is the lead single from the album and features Akon. Lennox has been working on songs on his own album, but has also been very active in bringing new artist to his label "Toma Enterprise". The label is set to release an album named Los Mero Meros.
Zion y Lennox's music is much different than mainstream reggaeton. What truly distinguishes them from other artists is that they typically sing about love and relationships, similar to RKM y Ken-Y(in 1970s R&B fashion) and refrain from the typical obscene sex, drugs and violence lyrics heard in a lot of other reggaeton and hip hop songs[citation needed].
After three years of building their fan base and positive reputation with guest spots and compilation records, Zion & Lennox released their first full-length record, Motivando a la Yal. The record featured the work of renowned producers Luny Tunes, Noriega, Nely "El Arma Secreta", and Eliel, some of the most visible the style had to offer. Thanks to the record's success as it hit the charts with force, Zion & Lennox toured all over the Americas, performing before large and appreciative audiences. Soon industry demand and personal pressure caused Zion & Lennox to go in different directions. Boldly boasting to be one of the greatest singers ever to hail not only from Puerto Rico but all of Latin America, Ortiz started his own record label, Baby Records, for whom he is the flagship act and CEO. Lennox continues to make guest appearances and collaborate with important genre artists. It came after a lengthy discussion in a New York hotel in which they parted amicably[citation needed]. They are set to release another album (possibly the last) as a duo speculated to be called "Eternity", and many more singles on compilation albums. Recently, as of February 8, 2008, Zion y Lennox are on a "reunited" tour. They also set the reggaeton world on notice slating a November 2008 release of their latest effort which has yet to be publicly titled. Zion participated in a beach festival named "Back to School", on August 9, 2008. In early 2010, they joined and signed a contract with Pina Records.

Si tu me gustas, yo te gusto
Para que hacerlo difícil
Si tu me sueñas y yo te sueño
Nuestro caso esta un poquito feo eo eo
Mami un poquito feo, eo eo
Dije un poquito feo eo eo
Probar un beso de tu boca, se me hace difícil
Tu timidez lleva al extremo amor
Si te provoca, no te hagas la difícil
Y entrégate como me entrego yo
Tu, me haz dicho de una y otra vez
Besos como se ve por fuera, si no por dentro
Y yo me acuerdo, te abro el corazón
Para que veas y no nades, en contra de la marea
En tus ojos lo veo que me deseas, como te deseo

Para enfocarnos, en lo que va a pasar
No te eches para atrás, no digas que no nena
Dame eso que tanto guardas

Quiero llegar mucho más allá
Suelta ese guille, que yo se

The song "Se Puso Feo" by Zion & Lennox is about a relationship that is going through a rough patch. The lyrics talk about how there is no point in going against the current and that it's better to just admit the mutual attraction and be together. The chorus emphasizes the fact that their situation has become a little ugly, but the singers urge their love interest not to pull back and to give in to their feelings. The lyrics also touch upon the struggle of being shy and how it can hinder the relationship's growth. The song ends with a plea to join hands and focus on the future of their relationship.

Yo sigo sin entender es como si salió no se pego este tema en la voz de cualquiera de los 3 se escucha hptaaaaa
@Gotti20
Spiff tv se los vendio
@HarlinElMenol
Wow el que la explotaba de verdad hubiese sido Anuel AA con ese flow de sentimental que le metia antes y la voz tambien era diferente que tiempos
@juliandavidchaparrogaleano1410
Este tema yo creo que lo perjudicó bastante que se filtrara partes de la de anuel, la de anuel tenía mejor ritmo y con su voz pegaba muy bien y que saliera con Zion y Lennox no pego nada bien.
@victoriaciccozzi5460
La mayoría se queja por esta canción que nos Le quedó a ellos, Si ahora sacan la versión de anuel van a estar todos atrás de esa versión porque es la que mas hubiera pegado
@eddyrubio8846
Muy pocas visitas para uno de los mejores exponentes de este genero, muchos videos mas de una semana y muy pocas visitas, lastima por que son muy buenos temas, Dios los bendiga! Colombia!!
