Data Insight
The Boatlift keeps Pitbull in crunk and Southern rap territory while adding hip house touches that hint at his coming dance-pop direction. Sean 'Diddy' Combs serves as executive producer, and the production roster includes Lil Jon, Mr. Collipark, Nitti and the Diaz Brothers, with Pitbull co-writing his verses as Armando C. Perez. The single 'The Anthem,' built on a Nicola Fasano sample, points toward the European club sound he would chase next. A wide guest list of Trina, Trick Daddy, Twista, Jim Jones and Latin acts like Don Omar makes it one of his most collaborative records to that point.
The Boatlift is Pitbull's third studio album, released September 18, 2007 on TVT Records and Poe Boy Entertainment. It features an early appearance from Jason Derulo on 'My Life' and guest spots from Trina, Twista, Jim Jones, and Lloyd. The album continued Pitbull's street-level Miami hip-hop approach before his later pivot toward international pop.
