Playero 37 is DJ Playero's first studio album. Playero started working with fellow reggae singers from his neighborhood, Villa Carolina, in Puerto Rico. It was one of the first reggaeton albums to achieve mainstream level and along with DJ Negro's The Noise Vol. 1 And DJ Eric's Street Style Vol. 1 helped reggaeton to reach higher popularity levels. Playero made two editions: the first one came out in 1993 in a single CD, with two tracks of more than twenty minutes long, mixed and edited by Playero from a 90 minutes long cassette edition. Years later, Playero re-edited and remastered the cassette and produced a full length 2-CD collection, splitting the tracks and recalling it "Playero 37: The Original."

This production brings to scene many of the singers that became superstars initially in Puerto Rico, and later in Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries. This is the first production for Daddy Yankee with Playero. His song "Donde Mi No Vengas" was an instant hit and gave Daddy Yankee huge mainstream airplay. Some of the singers who made it big here were Master Joe, OG Black, Baby J, Buru Fast, Blanco Flake, and Fellas Rican King.

Playero 37 was filled with songs promoting marijuana use, provoking authorities and general legal and social institutions to ask for petitions to ban the album. This was the reason why the genre first was called underground.
