Born Féliz Danilo Gómez, the Panamanian performer who records as Nigga took the more commercially viable name Flex (also credited as DJ Flex) for U.S. releases. He broke through on an international scale in 2007 with the radio-friendly single “Te Quiero,” whose romantic themes, passionately delivered vocals, pop-reggaeton grooves, and Caribbean lilt placed it squarely within the contemporaneous wave of reggae panameño. The track dominated stateside airplay by leading the Latin Tropical Airplay chart, reached number two on Hot Latin Tracks, and crossed over to the Hot 100 at number 99 while simultaneously becoming a major success across much of Latin America. Its strong sales prompted EMI to issue the accompanying full-length album in 2007, titled Te Quiero domestically and La Monarquia throughout the rest of the region. The follow-up single “Sin Tu Amor” paired Nigga with Alex Pro.
