Vic Spencer is back with new record, A Blog Write-Up, dedicated to the lyrical rhyme spitters that deserves/appreciate the praise from bloggers. Vic ALWAYS appear on blogs, but he believes most of these rappers don’t appreciate being on blogs. So Vic digs in the crates and decides to go to the GrindHouse where head engineer Doc da Mindbenda is able to blend a jben.ok loop and Talib Kweli’s Wait For You together for Vic to go demolish the undeserving individuals. “Shouts to all the blogs that display Vic Spencer’s music”, Vic says during a interview. “The game is changing. Year before, it was TRAP. Last year was the Teenie-Bop trend. This year is the year of the lyrics, the lyrical giants. The blogs appreciate me just as much as I appreciate them because I’m able to provide a permanent balance in Chicago’s Hip-Hop Scene.” Vic Spencer is set to release Vision Pipes a EP with TDE’s singer/producer Johnny Rocket 2/28/14.
