Mold-breaking reggaeton duo Ñejo y Dálmata placed themselves on urban tropical music's cutting edge early on in their careers. While maintaining healthy solo careers in reggaeton's capitol city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, Ñejo y Dálmata used their collaboration as a stylistic laboratory, the fruit of which would break every rule of the genre. As guest artists, both Ñejo and Dálmata appeared on popular releases like MVP and Ground Zero. Their contributions to landmark records earned them enough label attention to venture out as a duo. Incorporating vallenato, salsa, and rock, Ñejo y Dálmata garnered both praise for their daring choices and denunciations from urban music purists. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
