Glory

Glory has one of reggaeton's most recognized female voices. She has popularized some phrases like "Suelta Como Gabete" and "Dame Más Gasolina" (roughly translated as "give me more gasoline", but referring to the fact that the other person should give him/her more). During her career's 12 years she has collaborated in the productions of interpreters such as Daddy Yankee ("Gasolina"), Luny Tunes y Noriega ("La Gata Suelta"), Don Omar ("Dale Don Dale", "La Traicionera", "Suelta Como Gabete", "La Loba"), Hector & Tito ("Baila morena"), Eddie Dee ("Donde Hubo Fuego") and others. The not-so-average reggaeton listener might be able to recognize Glory by her distinct moaning sounds in many reggaeton songs. She formed part of the famed "La Industria" or DJ Eric Industry. Having collaborated on some of the early underground cassettes distributed among the Puerto Rican population, which include: Street Style 1, Street Style 2, DJ Eric Industry Volumes 1-5.
