Although both members have since gone on to successful solo careers, Hector & Tito remain a major influence on reggaeton, as they were one of the genre's pioneering acts in the late 1990s and early 2000s. ULTIMATE URBAN COLLECTION offers a definitive overview of the duo's achievements, bringing together 14 examples of their slamming, skittering beats and rousing, stylish Spanish-language raps. The set also includes remixes and videos. It's the perfect Hector & Tito package, and it's tailor-made for boomin' systems and slammin' parties.

Tracklist
Don Omar
Reggaeton's first real breakout international star, Don Omar is also one of its most versatile artists. Initially trained as a preacher in his native Puerto Rico, Omar soon became swept up in the island's blossoming reggaeton movement, writing and producing songs for one of the genre's trailblazers, Hector "El Father" Bambino. He soon found solo success with his acclaimed debut, THE LAST DON (2003), scoring Latin Grammys for both "Album of the Year" and "Best New Artist." Omar continues to innovate well into new millennium, bridging his love of traditional music such as bachata, merengue, and salsa with the sharp, streetwise flow of Latin rap.
Daddy Yankee
Although he's neither the originator of the reggaeton style nor even the genre's first home-grown superstar, Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee was instrumental in introducing the Latin hip-hop/dancehall hybrid to a mainstream audience in the United States and abroad. Yankee (aka Raymon Ayala) began appearing on reggaeton tracks as early as 1993, but it was 2004's BARRIO FINO and its infectious single "La Gasolina" that made him a household name. He has since collaborated with up-and-coming reggaeton artists as well as hip-hop stars like Snoop Dogg and Lloyd Banks.
