Thereafter each referred to himself as "El Bambino" in accordance with their previous nicknames, though Hector, somewhat confusingly, changed his name a couple times, first to Hector Bambino "El Father" (Los Rompe Discotekas, 2006) and then simply to Hector el Father (The Bad Boy, 2007). Just before Hector & Tito split in 2003, they won a Latin Billboard Award for Latin Rap Album of the Year, for A la Reconquista (2002). In 2005, around the time reggaeton was growing in popularity and commercial clout, Machete Music in conjunction with VI Music released Season Finale 1998-2003, a compilation of highlights from the duo's back catalog. Tito signed with EMI Televisa, debuting in 2006 with Top of the Line; Hector, more notably, signed with Roc la Familia (a division of Def Jam under the reign of Jay-Z) and debuted later that same year with a CD mixtape, Los Rompe Discotekas. ~ Jason Birchmeier
