“Oye Mi Canto” (English: “Hear My Song”) is a reggaeton single by N.O.R.E.. The song was originally released in 2004 as the lead single from the album 1 Fan a Day, which was heretofore unreleased. The song was a hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It was later included on the 2006 album N.O.R.E. y la Familia…Ya Tú Sabe. The song features Nina Sky and reggaeton artists Daddy Yankee, Gem Star and Big Mato.

The song originally featured Tego Calderón in place of Daddy Yankee but was later changed for the video. However, the Tego version was released by famous reggaeton label Planet Records Italy, instead of Island Def Jam, N.O.R.E.’s original label.

It’s N.O.R.E.’s first venture into the increasingly popular Latin genre reggaeton. In a 2004 interview with MTV, N.O.R.E. says of the single,

I fell in love with this music. I did this joint originally for a mixtape. The Latino people haven’t been spoken to in a while, since [Big] Pun died. They haven’t felt like they had something proud [in hip-hop] to stand on, so being both Latin and black, I wanted to rep my Latin side for once. Why not do it with this new music, instead of doing a Spanish rap record? This is what speaks for the inner-city Latino youth.

In 2004, the LP was one of the most-played singles in the US.
