You might already be aware that Pitbull is from Florida. We say that because he takes every opportunity he possibly can to remind us. Florida gets namechecked in every song that Pitbull releases - even if he's only providing guest vocals on someone else's track. If you ever hear a Pitbull song without a Florida reference, it's probably an imposter. Because he's so proud of his roots, it would be wrong of us to give the Florida entry on our list to anybody else. Sorry, Ariana Grande.
Early on in his career, Pitbull's style was much less commercial than it is now. He already had three albums to his name before he finally achieved breakthrough mainstream success in 2009 with 'I Know You Want Me' from his fourth album 'Rebelution.' Life's been sweet for him since then - he recorded the official song for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which cemented him as a star on the global level, and has now sold more than 60 million albums.
