Agente J formed in Medellín, Colombia in 2004, with J Balvin joining producers Bull Nene and Pipe Calderón. Their debut mixtape 'Real' came out in 2009, and the track 'Agente J' became an early signature for the group.
Their music blended reggaeton, hip-hop, and dancehall. The debut album 'La Familia' included songs like 'Yo Te Lo Dije' and 'Sin Compromiso.' Other singles in their catalog include '6 AM,' 'Tranquila,' and 'Safari.'
In 2015, Balvin faced criticism over lyrics that some said promoted sexism and violence against women. He apologized publicly and said he would use his platform differently going forward. The group's core members were Balvin, Bull Nene, and Pipe Calderón.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
