Vic Spencer is down with RUCKDOWN, a crew of MCs curated by the slumberg Sean Price. A few weeks ago, Vic went to Brooklyn to meet with the legend and they both went to Goblin Studios to record Distorted Views, a beat produced by one of Spencer's in house engineers/producers and GrindHouse partner, Doc da Mindbenda. 

"Working with one of my inspirations proves that I'm one step away", Spencer says posted at the GrindHouse with Doc and ILLeet, playing the records that was recorded in New York for Vic's solo album due in the 4th quarter. "First of all, Sean P fucks with Doc beats so it was immediate chemistry in the booth. I fuck with the love that NY has for Chicago MC's such as myself, because P could have worked or chose anybody else from here. But it's ME that he fucks with. Besides all the dope barplay and rugged beats, Price a real genuine dude."

Love can make you do some crazy things.

Vic Spencer never stops working. Ever. Every week it feels like there is a new Vic Spencer song on the radar and this week is no different. From the Red Button Series: Chapter II comes the movie Bipolar Supremacy, produced by Rashid Hadee is a story all too familiar among men and women in the game of life especially entertainment life. Vic lays down nothing less than stellar bahz on this track, no theatrics, just straight storytelling. Painting a very vivid picture that is at times slightly cryptic, Vic tears this track down from start to finish. That's what real hip-hop fans want though, give a dope visual, tell a raw story over a killer beat. Bipolar Supremacy may or may not be Vic Spencer's true story but it's nothing short of accurate to someone somewhere. It's almost chilling given recent events in entertainment. Plug in and let Vic Spencer tell you all a cautionary tale.

Vic Spencer - Dirty Porridge (Prod. By Motif Alumni & Kas)

"Kiss the Cook" is the first single from Blockhead's upcoming LP, Free Sweatpants out January 18th on Backwoodz Studioz. Free Sweatpants also features  Open Mike Eagle, Armand Hammer (ELUCID & billy woods), Homeboy Sandman, Breezly Brewin, TREE, Vic Spencer, Hemlock Ernst, and MarQ Spekt, amongst others. /////

There are two Blockheads.

There is the Blockhead that has been a fixture of the electronic music scene for more than since his 2004 Ninja Tune debut Music By Cavelight; putting out a string of critically acclaimed albums and touring with everyone from Diplo to Amon Tobin and Kid Koala.

Then there is the rap producer Blockhead, whose collaborations with Aesop Rock-Labor Days, None Shall Pass- are part of indie hip-hop canon. The veteran who collaborated with luminaries like Cage, Illogic and Blueprint but also made memorable records with then little-known artists like Despot and billy woods early in their careers.

Free Sweatpants is the first time the two Blockhead’s connect, in what is really the most appropriate form. A mixtape-esque album that pairs his narrative-driven solo aesthetic with a team of rappers that thrive in Blockhead's layered, melodic sound. Aesop Rock, Tree, Breezly Brewin, Open Mike Eagle, Homeboy Sandman, Armand Hammer, Vic Spencer, Hemlock Ernst, MarQ Spekt, and billy woods round out the guest list.

"It's really something I have been wanting to do since way back in 2002 but then other things picked up and I just never got around to it" Blockhead explains, "but I felt like this was a good time for it. These are artists I actively listen to, so it was exciting to make just based on that".

Vic Spencer received a call from Martin $ky on 10/23/12 saying that he made a new beat for their collaborative project, Modern Vintage. The 2 ended up at The Grind House with engineer Doc da Mindbenda that Saturday 10/27/12 recording what comes out to be 64th Floor. They spit 32 bars a piece equalling up to 64. Martin's chill flow and Spencer's flow pattern mesh well together as they continue to build on their musical/lyrical chemistry. The 2 release the track that following Monday 10/29/12 via blogs and every blog is saying that the track features Vic Spencer. It's Martin $ky & Vic Spencer! So get it correct, people! Some of you never even been on 64th floor of NO BUILDING.

64th Floor [Prod. by Martin $ky]

In early 2011, Vic Spencer was working on his 1st "mixtape" Vic Greenthumbs, a 30-track mixtape that Vic constructed because he was turning 30 years old. Vic wanted to use loops of his favorite artists' records. The name Vic Greenthumbs is a alter-ego of Vic Spencer and the name came from his good friend Mani Baggz. Greenthumbs appears on almost every song, encouraging Vic to keep making records and push limits. One day, Vic was playing Vic Greenthumbs records in the studio and trying to figure out what was missing. Vic recorded a record called National Geographical. The beat from the record is from J*DaVeY entitled Trans off their EP called Evil Christian Cop. It was meant to be a solo record until he heard a record called 22 Offs by the now superstar Chance the Rapper. Vic had already had a relationship with Chance through the budding SaveMoney collective from 2007. So Vic reached out to Chance to come to the final studio session to slap a 24-bar verse on National Geographical. Then Vic Spencer drops the album Vic Greenthumbs on his 30th birthday. National Geographical was the most talked about record on the album so Vic & Chance shot the video at Brookfield Zoo with Rich Media (Richie Randall), his SaveMoney brothers and SUH member Pavy. It was the 1st time anybody has heard of Chance the Rapper outside of YouMedia and the Instrumentality group.

This was the beginning of Chance the Rapper career and the now defunct Teamwork Group (Vic Spencer, Sulaiman, Nez & Rio, Matt CNTRBND & Chance the Rapper). Vic Spencer & Chance the Rapper was suppose to drop a EP and started to work on it when the 2 released Out the Water that was produced by the now TDE producers Nez & Rio. No word on if that is going to happen, but it's fans out there wondering when will Vic Spencer & Chance the Rapper appear on another record together. Put that in God's hands, people..

Pigeons & Planes is a music site that focuses on indie, hip-hop, and new music of all styles from around the world.

Over the past 20 years, Vic Spencer has become one of the most respected figures in underground hip-hop culture as a whole. The Chicago MC keeps his name in the hip-hop headlines with a constant stream of albums, he definitely has dropped 4 to 5 albums a year for the past 5 years and loose tracks whose titles often effectively sum up the snarky, acutely self-aware attitude of his lyrics. Though his reputation has grown thanks in part to his collaborations with the late Sean Price (RuckDown), Flee Lord (LORDMOBB), 38 Spesh (TRUST), and acclaimed "soultrap" rapper/producer Tree, Spencer is a proud free agent with his own label (Old Fart Luggage) who vocally dismisses the noise surrounding his city’s hip-hop landscape and stays committed to—even obsessed with—forging his own path. Vic Spencer is best known for his work with Big Ghost (The Ghost of Living) and his solo album, The Cost of Victory which dropped in 2015 and was rank 19 out of 40 in the Rolling Stone’s top 40 albums of that year. Vic is also working with August Fanon on a continuing series entitled Psychological Cheat Sheet and has a 4 part series with SONNYJIM called Spencer for Higher. Question: What is the result when you mix the wit of Sean Price, the comedic delivery of DOOM, the unorthodox approach of the late ODB, the lungs of B-Real, and the life experience of a group home resident hailing from the streets of Chicago’s gritty East Side? Answer: Vic Spencer aka The Rapping Bastard.
