Daddy Yankee co-wrote all lyrics with Puerto Rican rapper and lyricist Benny Benni and the mixtape's guest features on their respective tracks. King Daddy was Daddy Yankee's last album produced by Musicólogo and Menes-after producing Talento de Barrio (2008), Mundial (2010) and Prestige (2012)-before leaving El Cartel Records in 2014 due to a contract renewal disagreement. Musicólogo referred to King Daddy as the "essence of reggaeton" and a mixtape reminiscent of the past while blended with Los de la Nazza's futuristic sounds. Los de la Nazza members Musicólogo and Menes found "La Rompe Carros" and "Calentón" to be their favorite tracks from the album, respectively. The album's concept developed from Los de la Nazza's El Imperio Nazza and El Imperio Nazza: Gold Edition (both 2012), the first two editions from their Imperio Nazza mixtape series, for which fans asked on the Internet for Daddy Yankee to record his own. He referred to it as an album "dedicated to the Internet" with a "mystic flavor" and a "strong for reggaeton lovers," and stated that "the Internet was the genre's new street" because "that were fans concentrate." He saw reggaeton's evolution "going backwards" and decided to make a "hardcore reggaeton album" due to the genre's fans demanding "classic sounds" and a "hundred percent raw" reggaeton record "from one of his pillars." King Daddy was described by Daddy Yankee as "pure reggaeton, from A to Z," with which he wanted to "create a digital revolution" by only releasing it digitally, a usual practice among novice artists but not between established ones at the time. It received nominations for Best Urban Music Album at the 15th Latin Grammy Awards and the 27th Lo Nuestro Awards. King Daddy peaked at number seven on the US Top Latin Albums and became the first digital-only album to debut in the top 10 of the chart. Two singles were released from the album, of which " La Nueva y La Ex" reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and was nominated for a Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Song of the Year. Daddy Yankee co-wrote and co-produced all 11 tracks with Benny Benni and Los de la Nazza, respectively it is his last album produced by the latter, who left El Cartel Records in 2014. King Daddy is a "hardcore reggaeton" record made for the genre's "lovers" and features collaborations with Arcángel, Divino, Farruko, J Álvarez, and Yandel.
