Residente (stylized as Resīdεntә) is the debut solo album from Puerto Rican rapper of same name, released on March 31, 2017, by Sony Music Latin during the hiatus of his main band Calle 13.

Following a DNA test which revealed that he descends from people of multiple parts of the world, Residente felt inspired to visit those locations and record with local musicians. The trips resulted in a 13-track album, two of which ("Somos Anormales" and "Desencuentro") were released as singles and received promotional videos. The Album won Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.

A documentary and book (both homonymous to the album) were also prepared based on his journey. A world tour will follow the album's release with shows in France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Puerto Rico.^[5]

The album debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and number 1 on the World Albums chart with 4,000 album-equivalent units.^[6]
