Ángel y Khriz would like to prove they're not a one-hit-wonder.
In 2005, the Puerto Rican reggaetón duo dropped the hit single Ven Bailalo. The tropical dance track, from their debut album, Los MVPs, reached the top five on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart and is featured in the new video game Grand Theft Auto IV. After touring Latin America and Spain continuously for the past three years, the self-proclaimed "MVPs" have returned with a new album, Showtime, and a catchy new song, La Vecina, a Caribbean club jam with blaring trumpets and wah-wah guitars, which finds the duo embracing a heavy salsa and merengue influence.
Both 28 years old, Ángel Rivera Guzmán and Christian Colón made their debut in 2002 alongside future superstars Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and Hector y Tito on Guatauba XXX. Singer Ángel says he was raised on salsa and reggaetón while Khriz, the rapper, is a disciple of the Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill. It's a mix that gives them plenty of room to collaborate. After releasing Los MVPs, Ángel y Khriz made appearances on star-studded compilations like Mas Flow: Los Benjamins and MVP, Vol. 2: The Grand Slam.
Ángel says their new single, "La Vecina," is proof they have more hits to come "We're not trying to kill [Ven Bailalo], it's the song that has taken us to where we are, and we are very proud of it… [b]ut Showtime has many 'Ven Bailalos.'"
