At the 22nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the song "La Tóxica" was nominated for Best Reggaeton Performance.[2] The album topped the Top Latin Albums chart, being Farruko's fourth number one in the chart, and peaked at number 26 at the Billboard 200 chart, being his highest entry in the chart. It was certified platinum in United States.
Background
The name of the album comes from a highway close to where Farruko grew up in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. On that highway, his grandfather owned a gas station, which is referenced on the cover art for the album. Farruko said that "the 167 is where I grew up, it was the first road that my eyes saw, that touched my legs, there are paths and spaces that mark your life and 167 marked my life".[3] Throughout the album, various influential Latin American singers are referenced like salsa singers Ismael Rivera, who is mentioned in "El Incomprendido", and Hector Lavoe, whose song "Juanito Alimaña" appears in "Pepas", and Mexican singer Paquita la del Barrio, whose song "Rata de dos pasas" is sampled in "Cucaracha". The album also makes nods to Latin American culture like in "Jíbaro", which takes its name from the Puerto Rican slang used to refer to countryside people, and "Baja Cali", named after the Mexican state of Baja California, which includes Mexican slang in its lyrics.[4] Soundwise, the album experiments with a variety of musical genres such as trap in "Ki" and "Cucaracha", EDM in "Embalao" and "El Incomprendido", dancehall in "W.F.M.", reggae in "Jíbaro", regional mexican music in the corrido-influenced "Baja Cali" and guaracha in "Pepas".[5][6]
Following the release of the album, Farruko has said that he has considered the possibility of retiring from music, he said that "I started when I was 15 years old and I am already 30 years old, I don't want to have a forced retirement at 40 or 50, I want to leave earlier and leave at my best".[7] To promote the album, Farruko embarked on the La 167 Tour, which spanned through several cities in United States and Puerto Rico, starting in November 2021 and culminating in February 2022 in Chicago.[8]
Singles
The first single for the album was "La Tóxica", released on July 24, 2020.[9] The song peaked at number four on the Hot Latin Songs chart.[10] A remix for the song was later released on October 23, 2020, featuring Jay Wheeler, Myke Towers, Sech and Tempo.[11] The second single was "Pepas", released on June 24, 2021, which topped the Hot Latin Songs and Dance/Electronic Songs charts, being Farruko's first number-one song on both charts. It also peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 100 chart, being his highest appearance in the chart.[12][13][14][15] Additionally, the song charted in several countries in Latin America and Europe such as Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Spain and Switzerland.[16][17][18][19][20][21] The third single was "El Incomprendido", released on October 1, 2021.[22] All three singles were certified platinum in both Spain and United States, with "Pepas" selling over two million copies in the latter country.[23][24]
