RETIREMENT AND CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY
On September 3, 2008, Delgado announced his retirement from the music industry, he said "Hace seis meses murió Héctor 'El Father'". Translated from the Spanish this means "Six months ago Hector 'The Father' died." In a press conference held in Puerto Rico, the rapper announced that he intended to pursue a religious career. He was asked what were his next steps, in accordance with his new faith. He was even asked if he sought the calling of Pastor or Evanangelist. Although he did not know if he was going to be a pastor because he said he could not predict what God wanted. The release of his album 'El Juicio Final' marks the end of his SECULAR career in the reggaeton world. Delgado said he had made the decision six months prior to the announcement but is fulfilling his music contract which obligated him to release one more album for the label that, he says, will be his last. The album "El Juicio Final" was a fully Christian Themed album and found success amoung the latin christian community. Hector now travels and does evangelistic spoken word engagements, which deal with his personal testimony and performs songs from his last album.
