A guy by the name of Juan Vibras, a guy out of Miami who works with Rich Music, connected us with Snow and played us a version with Snow.

We are about to record another song but they pulled “Con Calma.” I remember I stopped everything and said “change of plans.”ĭY: I told Play-N-Skillz that we needed the surprise factor: to have Snow in this version. Maximo Mundial, one my writers, helped come up with some of the concept and he came with the chorus idea.ĭaddy Yankee (DY): I was in Los Angeles performing at the Staples Center.
