The Underdog/El Subestimado is a rap/hip-hop album released by Tego Calderón on August 29, 2006. The first single of the album was titled "Los Maté" ("I Killed Them"), which has garnered much air-play on the radio. During a press conference in Puerto Rico, Tego Calderón expressed that this new album is "a diary of sorts from my experiences. There are happy moments and sad ones".
This time around, Tego decided not to use as much reggaeton and focus more on hip-hop. He is also a fan of salsa, blues, and reggae (the second single of the album, "Chillin'", is a reggae song completely in Spanish) and he incorporates these styles in the album. Because of this, many fans were surprised, as they expected classic reggaeton. The album garnered points in originality, making it stand out more than Daddy Yankee's Barrio Fino en Directo and Don Omar's King of Kings. The album is widely considered the best of Calderón's career.
Background
The Underdog/El Subestimado is Tego's third album, and is considered by many the best of his career. Tego decided to mix both reggaeton and hip-hop for this album's sound. He also has two songs influenced by African drums on the interludes ("¿Por Qué?" and "Son Dos Alas"). The second single, "Chillin'", is a pure reggae song.

The El
by: Rhett MillerLet's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the El
And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself
Nobody knows her own heart
You might have been introduced but you drifted apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're making out under the El
You're trapped in you're head humming a tune to yourself
There's a trapdoor in your heart
There's a false bottom line and it's falling apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
We were on pins and needles
You were gearing up to cry
I was the instigator you were the reason why
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the El
You were so in love but you were only in love with yourself
Nobody knows her own heart
Things were coming together now they're falling apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
