King Daddy is a "hardcore reggaeton" record made for the genre's "lovers" and features collaborations with Arcángel, Divino, Farruko, J Álvarez, and Yandel.

[7] Musicólogo referred to King Daddy as the "essence of reggaeton" and a mixtape reminiscent of the past while blended with Los de la Nazza's futuristic sounds.

[11][12] Despite not reaching number one as previous Daddy Yankee records did, it became the chart's first digital-only album to debut in the top 10.

[11] In December 2013, Daddy Yankee stated that its success "took [him] by surprise" and it was announced that a physical version with new tracks would be released in February 2014, although it never did.

[24] The second single, "La Rompe Carros", was released through a music video directed by José "Javy" Ferrer on December 17, 2013.
