Coss was awarded the Best Short Form Music Video at the 7th Latin Grammy Awards for directing "Atrévete-te-te", co-directed by Jorge "Fish" RodrÃguez, and performed by Calle 13. "La Jirafa", the fourth single from Calle 13's debut album, was directed by Coss and co-directed by Israel Lugo. "Tango del Pecado", co-directed again with Lugo, was shot in Puerto Rico and it was described as "the story of a catastrophe, a shameless Latin-American version of a Romeo and Juliet-type of love."
Coss and Lugo directed Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado's "All Good Things (Come to an End)", in a video that "finds Furtado frolicking with a male model in Puerto Rico." About the video, Furtado stated: "It's very tropical and romantic. It reminds me of old Sarah McLachlan videos, it has that element of art to it. It's kind of like cinema."
The music video for "Bendita Tu Luz" by Mexican band Maná featuring Juan Luis Guerra was directed by Coss and Lugo and was shot at Santo Domingo in 2006. Coss and Lugo received a Latin Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 2009 for "La Perla" by Calle 13 featuring Rubén Blades which was shot at slum of the same name. The music video for "Vamo' a Portarnos Mal", included on Entren Los Que Quieran by Calle 13, was directed by Coss and Lugo in 2010, with locations on Las Monjas, Barrio Obrero and Las Gladiolas at San Juan, Puerto Rico.
