[edit] Héctor y Tito

Together with his partner, they released a number of hit songs in his native Puerto Rico, including "Amor De Colegio" (which introduced Don Omar), "Felina", "Baila Morena" (which featured Glory), and "No Le Temas a Él", a song which not only raised their popularity, it helped raise popularity for the then up-and-coming Trébol Clan. After years of working together, they separated, but not before releasing a final album, Season Finale, which featured some of their greatest hits. The duo broke up due to Tito's belief of disloyalty from Hector.[citation needed]

Héctor y Tito released their first album in 1998. Together they became reggaeton stars releasing several successful albums and making appearances in several compilations, becoming one of the most sought-out duos in the genre. Both became the first reggeaton artists to sell out a massive concert in Puerto Rico, opening the path to other artists such as Tego Calderón, Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and Wisin & Yandel. As a duet both captured the world's attention and made reggeaton a popular genre, won important awards such as the Latin Billboard Award and reached the top of the charts in several countries.

Now breaking away from the duo, "El Bambino" (as he is commonly called) had difficulty regaining his popularity, while his former partner had no trouble at all adjusting to going solo (and landing a large number of chart-topping hits). Tito was left in relative obscurity, making guest appearances on other artist's albums (he did, however, land a hit with "Déjala Volar", on Luny Tunes' album "Mas Flow 2").

Finally, rumor started surging that he was going to release his first solo CD. The rumors, though widely laughed at by the public (and other "reggaetoneros" as well), turned out to be true. Many people anxiously waited, but were to be disappointed when the release date for his new album was delayed. After much speculation his album was canceled, it was announced the CD was finished, sending Puerto Rico into a public frenzy.

Tito also opened his line of clothing called t.bambino.Tito has become one of the greatest artist of south america ,the u.s.a ,and europe he has travel to take his music and country further.Tito not also sings and design clothing he also was in a movie called La ultima noche.

[edit] First Solo Album: Top of the Line

After much delay, his first solo album was released, Top of the Line. The album was a hit, reaching #1 in Puerto Rico and knocking RKM & Ken-Y's album, "Masterpiece" to #2. Top Of The Line featured 20 new songs, with collaboration from artists such as Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and Beenie Man. It featured quite a number of hits, such as "Caile", "Mía" (with Daddy Yankee), "Tu Cintura" (with Don Omar), "Flow Natural" (with Beenie Man and Deevani) "Secreto", "Máximo", "Tuve Que Morir" and "Me Da Miedo" among others.

[edit] Top of the Line: El Internacional

Top of the Line/El Internacional is a limited edition of Tito's first album Top of the Line. It features 5 bonus new songs that were not included in the original version: "Siente El Boom (Remix)", "Enamorado", "Calentándote", "Bailarlo" and "Voy a Mí". The first single of the album is "Siente El Boom (Remix)" that is a big hit in Argentina. "Siente El Boom" is also on "Chosen Few: El Documental II" featuring Randy. In Top of The Line: El Internacional, the remix features Randy, along with his partner Jowell, & De La Ghetto. The second single recently released, "Enamorado", did not get a lot of airplay on the radio due to "Siente El Boom" still being a hit on Puerto Rico's radio stations and now expanding through Latin America by peaking at #14 in the Billboard Hot Latin charts. Apparently "Enamorado" got cancelled and now the third single is "Bailarlo" that's starting to get airplay on the radio and a video has already been released.

[edit] Second Solo Album: It's My Time

It's My Time is the second album by Tito "El Bambino" released October 2, 2007. The first single Solo dime que sí is already getting plenty of airplay on the radio. Artists featured on It's My Time are RKM & Ken-Y in "Fans", Pharrell in "Booty", Toby Love in "La Busco", Jadiel in "Sol, Playa & Arena" with Arcangel and Franco "El Gorila" on the remix.

[edit] Third Solo Album: El Patrón

El Patrón is confirmed to be the title of Tito El Bambino's next album. First song released before the CD is his new song, "Vamos Pa'l Agua".
