As a high school student, Armando sold drugs; thus he was expelled.

Music

Fernandez saw the twenty-year-old guy’s creative impulse and a strong desire to be heard. However, Robert also saw Pérez’s weaknesses:

“Pitbull wrote too long couplets. I had to cut them to make them more memorable and compliant with musical standards.”

In 2002, Fernandez introduced the novice rapper to Jonathan Mortimer Smith, better known as Lil Jon. Smith was popular with listeners, and he also worked on a new album. It was a good idea to promote the novice artist collaborating with a well-known one. So performers Lil Jon and Pitbull recorded the song for the album Kings of Crunk.
