HOY: Daddy Yankee’s Big Screen Debut


Es el día de Daddy Yankee! Talento De Barrio debuts on the big screen today. The production was executive produced by Yankee, who also stars in the flick. Not only is this Boricua a Latino of the Year, but officially listing acting and producing on his resume makes him a quadruple threat: cantante, producer, actor, fragrance hustla! The film is being shown as part of the New York International Latino Film Festival happening in NYC this week. We caught up with el Cangri at the screening and this is what he had to say about the significance of the word “barrio” in his work:

Pues, la esencia del barrio se va a ver en la película bien plasmada, pues el título lo lleva, pero van a ver el personaje que yo hago, que es ‘Edgar’, que es un joven que es líder, el jefe de su barrio en términos de los negocios ilícitos que se están llevando ahí. Es un joven muy real, y él no sabe cómo escapar.

Look out for the official soundtrack dropping August 12. You can peep the trailer here and tell us what you think! [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]
