[edit] Arcángel

Austin Santos(Dominican) was born in NY to Dominican parents. Austin met a young man known in reggaeton as "De La Ghetto" and the two began working together. Although they are relatively new artists, they have done well so far with hits like "Agresivo", "Sorpresa", and "Mi Fanática". They gained fame relatively quickly. Many people who have been listening to reggaeton since its beginnings in the early '90s criticize the duo, particularly Arcangel for being "cocky" and trying to engage older more established reggaeton stars in rap battles. Other people argue that his attitude is warranted because the duo is well known without having released their own album.

[edit] De La Ghetto

Rafael Castillo was born on September 17 in New York to a Dominican father and Puerto Rican mother. After living in Seattle, Washington and Europe during his early childhood, his family decided to move to Puerto Rico, where they reside in La Perla, Old San Juan; this is where he grew up during his adolescence.^[1] After launching his career and gaining notability, he collaborated with Zion, Daddy Yankee, Héctor "El Father", Jowell & Randy, Don Omar, Tito "El Bambino", Ivy Queen, Yaga & Mackie, Tego Calderón, Ñejo & Dalmata, Alexis & Fido, and Voltio, among others. De La Ghetto became known in 2005 with the single "Ven Pégate", a duet with Arcángel on the reggaeton compilation Sangre Nueva, which opened doors allowing him to participate in later reggaeton compilation albums.
