Pitbull in Billa 2

27th January 2012

American born rapper, singer-songwriter and record producer Armando Christian Pérez, better known by his stage name Pitbull, will sing in Yuvan Shankar Raja's music for 'Thala' Ajith's 51st film "Billa 2", which is set to hit the screens this summer.

If sources are to be believed, Pitbull will perform the remix version of the evergreen hit number 'My name is Billa...'. 'Pitbull has a unique voice and Yuvan and director Chakri Toleti feel he will give the song a new feel,' say sources.

Pitbull first recorded performance was from the Lil Jon album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album in 2004 titled M.I.A.M.I. (short for Money Is a Major Issue) under TVT Records. Since then, he has released two other albums under the label: El Mariel in 2006 and The Boatlift in 2007. He then released Rebelution in 2009, which included singles 'I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)' and 'Krazy'.

The latter peaked at No.30 on the Hot 100 and No.11 on the Hot Rap Tracks charts while 'I Know You Want Me' peaked at No.2 on the Hot 100 and peaked within the top ten spots of charts in the UK, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands.
