Vice Souletric feat. G. Huff & Reks – Treadmill Lifestyle [Stream]

While treadmills give you a reason to move, they create the impression that you’re making progress. In all actuality, you’re at the very same place in which you started. This happens to the best of us; without realizing, we adapt to the same goals and ambition of those around us. To break this cycle, take heed from the wise words of the Lorain, Ohio beatsmith/emcee, Vice Souletric, who unites with fellow statesman, G. Huff, and Beantown’s, REKS, on the appropriately titled, “Treadmill Lifestyle,” which serves to break the cats and the cradle syndrome that traps many of us from making real power moves, over Vice’s head nodding production. “Treadmill Lifestyle” is the 3rd and final leak taken from Vice’s April 7th, debut EP, Vice for President, through United Grind.

Vice Souletric – Hate Myself [Video]

Why is it easier to tear someone down than it is to build them up? In truth, our differences should be celebrated; there’s no reason to segregate ourselves because of how we look, what we believe, or how we view the world. Unfortunately, this message isn’t passed onto the youth as often as it should, which in turn makes the world a more hateful place. And while society may chastise African Americans for not fitting to a set series of characteristics, Vice Soulectric will stand up and refute those claims. “Hate Myself,” which is beautifully shot in a snowy cemetery, adds to the cold aesthetic from the Ohio based producer/emcee as he raps about everything wrong in the system. The song’s sentiments are further defined by the bookend sample speech from the late Malcolm X, which proves that this toxic mind state is nothing new. Vice Soulectric’s upcoming project Vice for President is set for an April 7th release date through United Grind, so be sure to check out the visuals and mark your calendars!

Vice Souletric feat. Guilty Simpson – Troublesome [Stream]

We’ve been lied to. The “land of the free and the home of the brave” may have been true at one point in American history, but the mantra couldn’t be any farther from the truth today. The media has painted a picture of minorities as criminals to be feared. Law enforcement comb the streets, often acting as judge, jury and executioner, to those who have no affiliation with criminal activity. It’s this very behavior that destroying the bedrock of our country, and the notion of liberty. Leading the pack in fighting for what’s right are Vice Soulectric, and Guilty Simpson with “Troublesome,” the debut leak taken from Vice’s forthcoming EP, ‘Vice for President.’ As Vice drops knowledge on being called into question for being wrongfully accused by those who are sworn to protect and serve, Guilty echoes a Biggie bar, reminiscing on that fact that for many, sports and entertainment are the only way for African Americans to be successful in this current system. The highly charged, futuristic head nodder produced by Vice, serves as a much needed dose of reality rap. Mark your calendars for the April 7th release of Vice for President, which is set to drop through Vice’s United Grind imprint…stay tuned!
