Zion y Lennox were a reggaeton duo from Carolina, Puerto Rico. Zion (Felix Ortiz) and Lennox (Gabriel Pizzaro) are one of the most recognizeable faces in reggaeton and in Latin American music.

They have been in the music business for a long time, but have failed to get any recognition for the majority of those years. They had minor hits such as "Baila Conmigo" for the 2002 compilation album "Desafío" and "Me Pones Tensión" for the 9th installment of The Noise. These hits, along with others in the near future and increased radio play gave them more recognition. This gave them the chance to appear in major Reggaeton albums such as "Luny Tunes - Más Flow" (2003), "Luny Tunes - Más Flow 2" (2005), ""Blin Blin Vol. 1" (2003-4), "Noriega - Contra La Corriente" (2004), and "Cazadores, Primera Búsqueda" (2005) just to name a few. In May 2004, they released their first solo album, "Motivando a la yal".

"Motivando a la yal" would surpass everyone's expectations. With hits such as "Doncella", "Bandida", among many others, the album easily reached gold status. With the reggaeton genre now becoming a worldwide phenomenon, Zion and Lennox's popularity increased even more. "Motivando a la Yal Special Edition" was released a year later. Special Edition had new songs along with remixed songs of the previous edition, such as "Don't Stop", "Bachatéalo", a remix to the song "Bandida", and a hip hop remix of "Yo Voy" featuring Fatman Scoop, and Pitbull, and many others.

Both Zion and Lennox are very active with solo songs. Zion has been more notable with songs like "Yo Voy a Llegar" for Reggaeton producer DJ Nelson's compilation album Flow: La Discoteka, "Alocate" set to be released in Luny Tunes's album "Más Flow 2".5, and "Con Ella Me Quedare" set to be released in Alex Gargolas's 5th installment of Gargolas.

Zion y Lennox's music is much different than the usual reggaeton song. What truly distinguishes their songs from others is that they sing about love (in 70's R & B fashion) and refrain from sex and making party songs.

After a long music career as a duet, Zion y Lennox have decided that they will no longer be a reggaeton duet. It came after a lengthy discussion in a New York hotel in which they parted amicably. They are set to release another album (possibly the last) as a duo, and many more singles on compilation albums. All in all, Zion y Lennox have left their mark as one of the greatest reggaeton duos.

[edit] Zion

Zion is considered one of the greatests singers ever to hail from Puerto Rico, and in all of Latin America. He is easily distinguished in songs because of his unique voice. Many who have heard him sing live however agree he has some problems singing live. Though he is highly regarded for his singing skills, he also raps, though most listeners say that he is not as skilled as his former partner. He is signed to Baby Records, of which he is the CEO. He is credited with having found one of reggaeton's greatests duos, Arcangel y De La Ghetto. Though hardly known at the time, Zion saw the potential in them and quickly signed them. Now, they are extremely popular and are planning to release their debut album "La Factoría Del Flow" (Flow Factory) which will feature Zion himself.

His solo CD, "La Melodía Perfecta" (The Perfect Melody), is in production. but other tahn that zion is a bitch and fuck it his vioce is the wierdest shit out there and whats with does fruity pants he had on that con ella video

[edit] Lennox

Lennox isn't as popular as Zion, and his voice has much a more rough tone than Zion's. Nevertheless, Lennox raps with great ease. Despite being less known than Zion, he has appeared on many more songs than Zion. Lennox is also known for having a childlike approach to things, and for interacting with fans. Lennox is releasing a collaboration album, Los Mero Meros. It was stated to be released around August, but the date was pushed back. It is believed it will be released in late October. It is confirmed that it will feature Zion, Arcángel y De La Ghetto, Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón, and many others.
