Daddy Knows Best

In the more immediate future, Daddy Yankee will keep busy with the October premiere of his directorial film debut, Talento del Barrio (Talent from the Hood). The Spanish-language film tells the story of a young hustler with musical talent, following the tradition of works like Jimmy Cliff's Jamaican reggae tale The Harder They Come and Eminem's 8 Mile.

But Yankee highly anticipates his appearance in Miami this Friday. "I love all of the multiculturalism in this city," he says. "Every time that I visit, I find something new from all of the different cultures that Miami has to offer. Be it Cuban, Nicaraguan, Venezuelan, or Chilean, I always learn something new."
