| Rapper Pitbull Joins Voto Latino Pitbull Agrees to Be Part Of The First Groundbreaking Text Messaging Voter Registration. Cuban American MC Pitbull is preparing for the October 31st release of his highly-anticipated sophomore studio album El Mariel. Although he makes songs about getting "culo," Pitbull is more preoccupied with preserving the image of his isla bonita, Cuba, and spotlighting Pres. George W. Bush's misguided war. |  |
| After having registered to vote himself using Voto Latino, Pitbull agreed to be part of the first groundbreaking text messaging voter registration campaign in U.S. history. As such, Pitbull leads a group of artists on behalf of Voto Latino by urging his fans to register to vote by texting the keyword "Pitbull" or "305" to the number 75444. Voto Latino Co-Founder Rosario Dawson stated, "We're thrilled to have Pitbull on board. What better messenger than he? Pitbull has a faithful, captive audience who's earned his fans' respect." Pitbull fans can also choose to sign up for their own keyword at www.votolatino.org and manage their very own voter registration campaign. With the sophomore album, El Mariel, named after the infamous Cuban boatlift that relocated almost 125,000 cubanos to Florida, Pitbull will make the biggest impact a Latino has made in hip-hop since Big Pun. Inspired by one of the most dramatic events in Cuban history, El Mariel is overflowing with enlightening gems, rap ballads and club bangers. After the success of his gold-selling debut M.I.A.M.I. the music community was having a difficult time placing a label on Pit. "They have this misconception, says the 25-year-old MC. They'll say, "He's just this Latin rapper, he's a reggaeton act, he's crunk." |
