Angel & Khriz are a Puerto Rican reggaeton duo, consisting of Angel Rivera Guzmán (Angel) and Christian Colón Rolon (Khriz).

In 2004, they signed with MVP Records and toured extensively throughout South and Central America. The success of their debut recording, Los MVPs, garnered attention and an eventual distribution with Universal's Machete Music, a label targeting the ever-growing urban Latino audience. Appearances in many U.S. cities to receptive crowds have earned the duo a reputation as one of reggaeton's most popular duos. In 2005, their debut studio album Los MVP was released and featured the hit singles "Ven Baílalo" and "De Cazeria". The album was certified Platinum by the United States Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and a special edition was released the following year.

Almost three years later, in 2008, their second studio album, Showtime was released. Singles featured on the album were "La Vecina" and "Na De Na". This album was released by Machete Music. Two years later, Da' Take Over, the duo's third studio album was released. It featured the hit singles "Ayer La Vi" & "Me Enamoré".
