Vic Spencer starts September off with his Red Button Series, a weekly release of records during the recording of his 6th solo album, The Rapping Bastard. Vic Spencer was at The Grindhouse with Doc da Mindbenda writing to a new beat for The Rapping Bastard when 197/Village member Monster Mike was recording a record of his own. Vic took a liking to the record he was recording and invited Mike back to the studio the following week to feature on the 1st release to the series which is The Newport 100. The name comes from the historical vehicle sport, The Daytona 500. But since these two MC enjoy smoking Newports, they replaced Daytona with a sport of their own. Packed with 24 bars from each MC on a horn-driven loop provided by Marc Moulin off the Placebo Sessions from 1971-74, the two mesh well crafting lines like 'I'm very gifted, not a Christian so my daddy is Christmas' and 'Never naked, gotta lot of Nudies'. And if that wasn't enough, Vic loops a bass-driven record from Jet Age of Tomorrow entitled Delta off their bonus mixtape, The Jellyfish Mentality to add to the record. "I want to give listeners MORE", Vic said about switching the beat on the record. "In this game, you have to stay creative".

The Rapping Bastard due out mid-October.

#WhatIGetInto (Bonus Track)

No one is exempt from getting heated by Vic Spencer's bahz, not even the ladies. The latest Red Button Series joint to drop is "The Stroke Master". Perfect use of the Too Short track, "Bad Ways", what better artists track to use as the base of a song thats starts with a line like "Don't act like you don't wanna fuck me baby." Vic has outdone himself again with "The Stroke Master", a rhyme that's easy to understand for those who say his bars are too complex. It's the comedic spin Vic uses on this track that shows even on joints with simplest concepts he will still spit ryhmes you'll remember. Showcasing his fun side in the booth Vic gives listeners an entertaining look at his versatility and other rappers a nudge basically saying I can do what you do, only better.

The Rapping Bastard is due out in November.

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.
