In reggaeton's infancy, most of the music that was produced came in the form of compilation albums gathered together by the DJs that were promoting the music. Wisin & Yandel followed the familiar route and in 1998 appeared on DJ Dicky's effort No Fear 3. The album was released by Fresh Productions; they subsequently signed with that label and the following year released their debut album Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio.
In the following years, they released three more albums, all of which met with good success in the Latin American markets. In 2004, they also each released a solo album: Yandel's was titled Quien Contra Mi, while Wisin gained a nickname with his El Sobreviviente. It wasn't until 2005 with the release of Pa'l Mundo that they caught the attention of a broader, non-Spanish speaking audience.
