Tegui Calderón Rosario (born February 1, 1972) is a Latin Grammy Award winner Puerto Rican rapper, songwriter and actor. He began his musical career in 1998 and was very supported by the famous Puerto Rican rapper Eddie Dee, who invited him on his second studio album, El Terrorista De La Lírica, released in 2000. Calderón reached international succes in 2003 with his first album, El Abayarde, which sold 300.000 copies worldwide and was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. His importance in reggaeton music led him to participate in Eddie Dee's 12 Discípulos album in 2004. He released three more studio albums between 2006 and 2015, varying in styles, focusing more in hip hop and African music rather than reggaeton in The Underdog (2006) and El Abayarde Contra-ataca (2007). His fourth studio album, El Que Sabe, Sabe, released in 2015, won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. In the same year, he announced that he is planning a studio album alongside the Puerto Rican reggaeton and pop singer Yandel titled El Blanco Y El Negro.
"Chillin'" is Tego Calderón's second single for his album The Underdog/El Subestimado. The single got a lot of airplay when it was released, and features reggaeton superstar Don Omar. The song is known to be pure reggae, and the video was shot in Jamaica, the birthplace of reggae music.
Music video
The music video for "Chillin'" was the album's second music video. The video was directed by Scott Franklin. During the time the video got directed, Tego Calderón was working on his European tour, and did a lot of work with Don Omar.
The music video was shot in Jamaica, which reflects the song, because Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae, and the song is pure reggae and dancehall. Tego Calderón and Don Omar also reflect the songs lyrics by doing the act of "chilling" in Jamaica. The video is shot along the beach, and in various touristic parts of the island.
