He has also performed with Ingco Crew, a prominent Dominican reggaeton group, and Grupo Aguakate, another merengue tipico group. His lyrics are usually light, humorous (e.g. "Los Limones"), and somewhat raunchy, which has made him a controversial artist.

He is known for his outrageous performance style, and recently appeared as an actor in the film "Un Macho de Mujer".
