Please. I need to know what this track is. I heard the end of it on the radio. It is NOT a reggaeton track, though it would fit in a reggaeton set.

OK it's fairly minimal with a heavy kick with congas hitting and some handclaps. It is very tribal sounding. There is a female vocal sample that sounds a little sped up but not quite Kanye-fast, just pitched up a little maybe. The vocal is Spanish and female (maybe even a small chorus) and I know she says "bonita" at the end of the phrase.

I didn't pay much attention to the rapper but it is pretty hard and he said something like "drop to the pavement???" but I'm not certain really.

Thanks. It might be Pastor Troy but I don't think that's right.

I know it's not Pitbull. The MC is unquestionably black and the rap is all English. The vocal sample is in Spanish but it is sung almost in an African or Santaria? style by a female in Spanish. It's really a minimal type of track in the vein of Grindin' or that Peety Pablo track where he whispers but with a definite conga sound and handclaps.

eight months pass...

hey yknow i'm listening to this again on pitbull's new rmxs comp and it sounds different! better! ok whoa there not that much better! passable. but the sample sounds like its been redone, sung in a higher pitched chorus in the fashion of erm the mice from babe or something, and so laden with less of that gimmick gravity. orrrr is it just me?

anyway since i'd hated on it so much and all....
