Pitbull
Trackhouse
Album - Latin, Music
Pitbull was ahead of the curve, parlaying his Latin rap skill set into bilingual pop stardom well before it became an industry norm for Spanish-speaking artists to deeply impact the US charts. To that end, Trackhouse demonstrates the ways in which he operates in this space, favoring hip-hop flavored party anthems with a multi-national selection of collaborators. Who else but Mr. 305 could drop an album that features Zac Brown, Omar Courtz, and Nile Rodgers? The House of Pain throwback “JUMPIN” with Lil Jon exemplifies the effectiveness of his anthem-seeking artistic mission, as does “Lit in the City” with T-Pain and El Micha. He transforms an Elvis Crespo merengue classic into a trap-informed club cut for “Suave” and pumps up the volume on the 4 Non Blondes interpolation “Let’s Take a Shot” with Vikina. Elsewhere, he leans back into his rapero rawness for “Pata Sucia” and unleashes a tropical blast for the dance floor with “Café Con Leche.”
