the critics	Allmusic: "Sure, there's nothing especially revolutionary about the urban regional sound trademarked here by Akwid, but it hadn't really been done this well to date, which makes these brothers the first of their kind to break this style into the Latin music mainstream."	Allmusic: "The two Salvadoran brothers who comprise L.A.'s Crooked Stilo bring a lot of West Coast influences to Puro Escandalo, which is mindful of Cypress Hill and Funkdoobiest, as well as the more pop-friendly Mellow Man Ace."

You guys are dumb (some of the comments above). Akwid is nowhere near regeton. It's called Regional Urbano, and it says it there if you would just read. Crooked Stilo has done some little work with regeton, actually, but not Akwid. And these are my top two favorite artists, but Akwid is number one while CS is number two for me. They are both very great and have worked with some of the same artists like David Rolas, but have never worked together and it would be great to hear a collab from Akwid and Crooked Stilo.
