Review by Steve 'Flash' Juon

Artist: Pitbull f/ Pharrell
Title: Blanco
Label: Polo Grounds Music

Pitbull was set adrift by the folding of his old label TVT, a popular hip-hop reggaeton artist without a place to call home. Fortunately the Cubano rapper straight from M.I.A.M.I. has landed at a subsidiary of RCA called Polo Grounds Music and is already making noise with his new single "Blanco." Paired with a punchy if somewhat stereotypical hip-hop dance beat which sounds INCREDIBLY similar to Justin Timberlake's "Like I Love You," this is nevertheless another Neptunes banger which is bound to get both airplay and carplay as people cruise down the streets bumping the beat. I'm not the most fluent Spanish speaker out there so when Pitbull jumps back and forth between tongues I get lost at times, but even a blanco gringo like me can appreciate his energetic and passionate reggaeton delivery. "Blanco" is a another surefire Pitbull hit.
