Victor Vazquez (better known as Kool A.D.), is an American musician, author, rapper and artist from the San Francisco Bay Area of California. He is also a now former member of New York based alternative hip hop group, Das Racist.

Since the disbandment of Das Racist, Kool A.D. has largely worked alone. His tracks vary in tone and sound, from philosophical treatises to abstract jazz interludes. Consistent features of his work include highly oblique or hyper-literate references, koans, and frequent mentions of gods religious refrains, repetition, and repetition. Common themes include criticism of war and greed, positive thinking, and satire of mainstream rap.

His output is prolific at times. In the first four months of 2019 he has released four 25-track LPs and two 7-track EPs. This continues a pattern of releasing 100 tracks split across four albums. He has followed this formula at least three times, including in 2019 (33 Spanish Castles, Castle Season IV, Spanish Kastle Magick Too, Magia Del Castillo Espanol), in 2017 (Aztec Yoga 1, 2, 3, and 4) and in 2016 (O.K. 1, 2, 3, and 4). He has also previously followed variations on this theme, like a series of albums named after San Francisco bus lines (51, 63, and 19).

Victor can be found on his Instagram and Twitter posting some… uh, interesting paintings, drawings, etc.

After his time in Das Racist he showed how prolific he was by putting out multiple mixtapes over the course of just a few years including two 100-song mixtapes, O.K. kool ad in 2012 and Peyote Karaoke kool ad in 2016. His rapping on the tapes consist mostly of freestyles ranging from a lighthearted and humorous tone to abstract.
