Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Rivera was born and raised in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the oldest son of William Landrón and Luz Antonia Rivera. From an early age, he showed interest in the music of Vico C and Brewley MC.

His fifth studio album, The Last Don II was released in June 2015.^[4][5] The artist made record in the history for Billboard.^[6][7] The artist earned a Guinness World Record in 2011 for the Spanish-language YouTube video with the most views.^[2]
