Félix Danilo Gómez, better known as began his musical career ten years ago, but it wasn't until the year 2000 when a reggae producer gave him the opportunity to record an album along with other artists. His song "Dejala" started receiving heavy airplay, not only in his native Panama, but also in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Honduras, Peru and Ecuador.Flex arrives to Mexico and the United States proving that it hasn't been easy to become one of the most popular performers in the last decade. After ten years of hard work, he showed the world that it's never too late to look for new opportunities, reach your goals and become a musical phenomenon with his own particular brand, "Romantic Style". His lyrics, infused with Jamaican and Panamanian influences, have made him popular not only for his music, but also for his extraordinary charm. "Te Quiero" was his astonishing debut. One of the biggest hits of all time, it quickly became the most played song all over Latin America and the US. Only in 2008, FLEX sold out more than 150 shows in Mexico and more than 60 all over the continent; that would be more than one million people of all ages singing along this talented performer. In 2009, FLEX released a new single "Dime Si Te Vas Con El", co-written by him and Fernando Cabrera "Saik". With a fusion of Latin rhythms, this song is precisely the Evolution of the Romantic Style, which is aptly the name of the album that includes it. "La Evolucion Romantic Style" was produced by Victor Delgado "Predicador" and was released on January 27th, 2009 in Mexico and the US. During 2009, FLEX continued with the promotion of his second album, and right after the success of "Dime Si Te Vas Con El" he released "Te Amo Tanto" which also became an instant hit. A concert tour through all of Latin America followed. "Besos de Amor" is the title of the newest FLEX song which will arrive to radio stations in the next few days. The song was co-written by FLEX, Reynold Martinez and Ricky Rick who also performs a duet in the song. The accompanying video "Besos de Amor" was filmed during the month of January. FLEX's second album will be on sale in March; however the title is still a surprise. Currently, he has three nominations for Premios lo Nuestro in the Urban Music category for Album of the Year for "La Revolucion Romantic Style", Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for "Dime si te vas con el". 2010 is beginning to look like a great year for FLEX already, who has proven that he is not only a successful artist, but also a highly appreciated performer.

Album Summary
The newest face of Latin rhythmic music comes with several twists: He hails from Panama, not Puerto Rico; calls his style romantic reggae, not reggaetón; and in Mexico, where his success has given him entry to the U.S. market, he calls himself Flex.
Flex says of his album Te Quiero, "It's a fusion of reggae music in Spanish with ballad lyrics." 27-year-old Felix Danilo Gomez, counts Panamanian reggae pioneer El General as a major influence. Flex's sound has great success in translating to an American audience, given the success of romantic reggaetóneros like Rakim & Ken-Y and Casa de Leones.

The Mix Tape Vol. 3 was subtitled The Final Chapter. And that's what it should have been. But DJ/hip-hop opportunist Funkmaster Flex has once again rounded up the usual suspects for 26 cuts of his all too familiar mix tape flair. The LOX's Jadakiss continues his endless campaign for a solo career with the synthed-out "I Don't Care." M.O.P. go uncomfortably commercial with their remix of the underground hit "Ante Up," which features king of hip-hop crossover Busta Rhymes and newcomer Remy Martin. Faith Evans and Ginuwine add new and somewhat interesting R&B flavor, and Eminem and the D-12 impress as always on the bass-heavy "Words Are Weapons." Nature's "The Needle" is also a gem. But the rest is just costume jewelry--Flex Protégés Inc. and artists who come off like they're just doing it for the exposure. Without Flex's filler and ad-libs, the true funk here would probably add up to only 20 minutes. --Kenji Jasper
