In 2016,Victor Vazquez (aka Kool A.D.) released 10 albums, a staggering output that that rivals 2010s Gucci Mane or mid-’00s Lil Wayne. Across 282 tracks, he sang his own praises more than ever, maybe hoping to will his oft-repeated (however ironically and/or seriously) “best rapper in the world” claim into reality. Unfortunately, Vazquez was sometimes derailed by the actual music. Many songs and plenty of freestyles were lazily thrown together, likely by design. For example, “Arts & Leisure” (from July’s 100-song Zig Zag Zig) is just a pitched-up version of a 2012 Action Bronson collaboration. Vazquez’s final album of the year, , is also the best of the 10, setting aside his deconstructive tendencies in favor of structured songs with intriguing, clever, and funny rhymes. The project lives up to its title, showcasing a nonchalantly brilliant rapper.
