With his second album “The Champ – Round II”, set to release in July 2012, VI Champ has recorded the most diverse album of his independent career.  Combining influences of Southern Rap and R&B into a balanced sound, VI has swayed the growing fans of Mississippi underground music.  The lead single, “On My Way”, best represents VI’s journey into the united worlds of both R&B and Southern Rap.  A style VI refers to as “Sippi Soul”.  Born Alonzo Bush, VI Champ rose to underground fame in 2009 after releasing his debut album titled, "The Champ”.  Two years later, he recorded and co-produced UGR’s “Underground Railroad Mixtape”. Finally, after numerous requests from his growing fan base, VI recorded his second album, and is set to release it July 2012.  While VI remains unsigned, it's clear underground music is the core for one of the GTA's most talented artists.
