Glory
Glory has one of reggaeton's most recognized female voices. She has popularized phrases such as suelta como gabete ("loose as a shoestring", slang meaning "promiscuous") and dame más gasolina ("give me more gasoline", meaning "more sex"). During her career to date, she has collaborated in the productions of interpreters such as Daddy Yankee (Gasolina), Luny Tunes y Noriega (La Gata Suelta), Don Omar (Dale Don Dale, La Traicionera, Suelta Como Gabete, La Loba), Hector & Tito (Baila morena), Eddie Dee (Donde Hubo Fuego) and others. Listeners may recognize Glory by her distinctive moaning sounds in many reggaeton songs. She formed part of the famed "La Industria" or DJ Eric Industry. She collaborated on some of the early underground cassettes distributed among the Puerto Rican population, which include: Street Style 1, Street Style 2, and DJ Eric Industry Volumes 1-5.
Glory is known to audiences in Central and South America, Spain and the United States. One of her most recent hits was "La Popola", which was even banned from some countries for its content. In 2005, she released her debut CD Glou, which, according to the official website, sold over 100,000 copies in Latin America.
The singles "Perreo 101" and "La Tracionera" with Don Omar are two of her best known hits up to date. A new version of "La Popola" together with fellow-rapper Valentino (of the duo Magnate y Valentino) was also released, entitled "A Popolera".

Famous quotes containing the word glory:
“And shall the earth
Seem all of paradise that we shall know?
The sky will be much friendlier then than now,
A part of labor and a part of pain,
And next in glory to enduring love,
Not this dividing and indifferent blue.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
Now make the world of me as I have made
A merry manshape of your walking circle.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The glory of the day was in her face,
The beauty of the night was in her eyes.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
