“El Mas Chingon is the follow up to my Grammy nominated CD ‘Team Leader’,” explains Lopez adding, “I know my fans will love the new material which is inspired by the continuing dysfunction in my life, both past and present. I guess I could see a therapist but this is more fun!!” The new album will mark the third venture between Lopez and Oglio Records.

He also made Time Magazine’s list of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and Forbes Magazine’s 100 Most Powerful Celebrities.
