Ohmega Watts - Ode to Brooklyn feat. DJ Manwell

In this, the fifth installment of The Red Button Series, Vic Spencer drops Physical Buff. Just one week after his 32nd birthday when he cleverly heckled his own hecklers Vic comes with this eerie bass laced piano track, a Stanley Clarke loop from The Show Soundtrack. Physical Buff is the score of his peers nightmares when Vic enters the booth. With lines like "Just call me Vic Spencer the death adder", he continues to kill the rap game softly. Letting listeners know he does this "Without a crew, with the flu". If you don't know by now Vic is a man all his own with a passion that will not be deterred you might need to listen harder with feverish frequency. As long as he continues to drop quality music like Physical Buff, Vic Spencer is not going away, sorry to dash any high hopes. 

Continuing to show his age if you will, saying that he is from the era of Saucony's, Jodeci boots and overalls and the leader of the new school. If you know nothing of your hip hop past that is probably one of the reasons you would be confused by Vic Spencer. He is a rapper not fond of fraudulence in any way be it in his life or his rhymes, happily letting fans and peers alike know exactly where he comes from. 

Vic takes his time on this smooth track which makes his message hit even harder, every word clear is as ice so there is no mistaking exactly what he is putting down. Whether you agree that he is indeed the best rapper or not, Vic Spencer will not be denied in the rap game; he won't let you deny him in the rap game. As the track fades out you hear "Rappers just be straight up talkin"...Which is what Vic himself would tell you if you asked him face to face. Physical Buff may be short, but how long does an honest straight to the point record really need to be? Vic Spencer eloquently says more in 2:23 than most rappers do in 4:30, its understandable why cats hate him. He's a real emcee who is just too cold for average rappers to like. Enjoy Physical Buff, repeatedly, until you gain a full understanding of what Vic Spencer is really saying. 

The Red Button Series will continue into October...You ready? .
