He then made a remix with Riko "El Monumental", He kept continuing his career by releasing more songs to get more fame, He released a song called "Si Me Necesitas" but also did not get much success from it, But when he made a remix of the song "Si Me Necesitas" with the popular Puerto Rican duo Baby Rasta & Gringo it had become a success. [3]

He then made a great leap in his career when he realized two separate songs with very popular Puerto Rican reggaeton artists Nicky Jam and Dalmata, The song "Los Perros se Enamoran" with Nicky Jam was popular and some parts of Colombia but the most successful one "Espina de Rosa" With Dalmata was very successful gaining over 100 million views on YouTube.
