"Residente o Visitante" is Calle 13's second album, released on April 24, 2007.

The album features a much more vulgar set of lyrics and includes the songs "La Crema" (released online Fall 2006 on [http://www.lacalle13.com LaCalle13.com] ) and "Tango del Pecado" (Calle 13's first single for this album). The second single of the album was "Cumbia de los Aburridos" and it peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot Latin charts. The third single was "Pa'l Norte" (released on late 2007), and the fourth one was "Un Beso de Desayuno" (released on early 2008). This marks the first of Calle 13's albums to have collaborations with artists such as Tego Calderón, La Mala Rodríguez and Orishas.

The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums at number 1 displacing Jennifer Lopez's Spanish album "Como Ama una Mujer" [Billboard, [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Albums&f=Top+Latin+Albums "Top Latin Albums this Week"] , Billboard.com, May, 2007.] [Russell Rua, [http://www.primerahora.com/noticia/musica/espectaculos_asi/calle_13_destrona_a_la_diva_jennifer_lopez/58913 "Calle 13 destrona a la diva Jennifer Lopez"] , Primera Hora, May 3, 2007.] , and in Billboard 200 at number 52, selling about 12,000 copies in its first week.

* Best Buy carries another special edition release of this CD that includes the previously unreleased track "Japón" and a remix of the song "Suave" from the first CD.
