It’s undeniable! Latin Urban music is the sound and flavor of today's Urban Chart-topping hits. Everyone is trying to imitate it, but few capture its true essence. As one of the founding fathers of this Latin Urban movement, I have assembled the sonic tools you need to create your own Grammy worthy tracks with MPC or Force. From my humble roots at “The Lab Studios" in my native Puerto Rico, to multi-Grammy-winning productions made and sold around the world. This pack includes similar samples, vibes, drums, textures, melodies and flavors to the ones that helped launch the careers of many mega artists like Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Cosculluela, Tempo, Arcangel & De La Ghetto, and many others.
