Just a few months later was his user profile on MySpace, the second most visited web portal about music throughout Spain. His two recordings each had more than 3 million downloads and his profile was viewed more than 14 million times. His song Dragon Ball Rap was with more than 27 million views , the third most watched music video of Spain in the history of YouTube . After his popularity on the internet, he signed a recording deal with Universal Music Group in November .

The music video received the “Sol Música” award for best video at the Festival de Málaga in 2008.
