Héctor & Tito started their career in the 1990s going by the name of "Los Bambinos" after singing with other reggaeton artists. Together, they released several albums and rose to fame in all Latin America. In 2004, the duo announced they were separating. Since then, they have gone on with their careers separately.

Hector El Father was part of the rap group "Masters of Funk" alongside Rey and Julio Voltio, while Tito El Bambino recorded with various local DJs gaining an appearance in the famous reggaeton series "The Noise vol. 5" which was considered his big break into the music scene. Thanks to local DJs such as Chiclin and Estefano, Tito and Hector form a friendship which evolved into a duo when Hector separated from Masters of Funk. After appearances on many compilations from local DJs and producers from Puerto Rico, the duo connected with DJ Goldy and signed to VI Music in order to prepare their first album Violencia Musical, released in 1998.
