Playero 38 is DJ Playero's 2nd album, recorded sometime between 1993 and 1994. With the success of Playero 37 and The Noise Vol.1 and vol.2 giving reggaeton great momentum, DJ Playero releases 38: Underground. It established the dembow as the official rhythm of reggaeton, while lifting the genre to mainstream status. However, as with Playero 37, many of the lyrics focus on promoting the use of marijuana, and this added to the negative perception the genre gained in its early stages. Consequently, the government of Puerto Rico confiscated thousands of reggaeton records, because of the lack of disclosure about their explicit content.

The album features many of the veterans from Playero 37, including Daddy Yankee, Blanco, Yaviah, OG Black, Master Joe, Frankie Boy, Maicol & Manuel, Ranking Stone, among others. It also introduces many future successful Reggaeton artists in Rey Pirin, Ruben Sam, Miguel Play, Kalil, Original Q, Grupo Nizze, Camalion and K.I.D.
