Mr. W

Mr. W

In a reggaetón scene overflowing with collaborations, few artists even come close to bringing what Wisin does. A decorated perreo practitioner who impressively remains on the proverbial cusp of the dembow-driven sound, he embodies the genre’s synergistic ethos on Mr. W. A sprawling statement of dedication to the craft, these 20 tracks boast intergenerational features and team-ups with a wide range of Latin talent. Rugged throwback “Puro Guayeteo” secures Don Omar and Jowell & Randy for maximum authenticity, as does the latest reunion with his longtime duo cohort Yandel on “Perreo 101.” Looking back at his own storied catalog, he revives the essence of fan favorite “Aventura” with a 2.0 version opposite Darell and Lenny Tavárez. That said, his links with younger stars Mora on the poppy “Bien Loco” and Young Miko on the sleek “Señorita” keep things from getting needlessly nostalgic. Pedro Capó provides smooth contrast to Wisin’s bold barks on the tropically tinged “Himalaya,” while Gabito Ballesteros coaxes his host into the corridos world for the unpredictable hybrid “UN SHOT.”
