Unlike much of the rougheredged rap, the artist used strong melodic lines and acoustic instruments as backdrop, borrowing freely from well-known grooves (Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" on "El Filosofo") and songs ("I Like/Baby Quiero Hacerlo" performed with Lizzy Estrella, translates the chorus of the S.O.S. Band's R&B/pop/disco hit, "Take Your Time Do It Right").[3] Vivo receive positive reviews by the critics. It won Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album at the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards,[4][5] and was nominated for Latin Rap Album of the Year at the 2002 Billboard Latin Music Awards. It debuted at number 43 US Top Latin Albums.[6][7]
