The song was followed with a remix featuring Zion, Franco "el Gorila", Ñejo, Polaco and others. Subsequently, they worked with Yaga & Mackie on "Perfume". The dou continue to be well received. In 2008 they broke with BandLandz, signing up with Black Jack Music and releasing their second mixtape, "Salimos del Bloque", with support from Alex Corolla, AK 47, and Real Talk Reggaeton. Off the mixtape, one of the tracks produced by "Live Music" called "Traila" caught much attention and airplay, but it was not until "Bien Loco" that they took the genre by storm, receiving tremendous attention throughout Central and South America, specially in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Chile for which prompted a tour in said countries, and having it be one of the top songs of 2009. Following that success, they released other exiting singles such as "Matador" and followed up remix alongside Ñengo Flow, "No Seas Mala" ft Trebol Clan, and earned their participation in the mega remix "Rastrillea 2" ft a large amount of the most prominent members of the genre.
