The youngest memeber of the Brainiac Society has delivered his first project, an EP titled Straight Up. This released yesterday as a Ruby Hornet exclusive, so I decieded I’d let it breathe a day before posting. Vic is honestly one of the illest rappers I’ve ever met and he’s only 17 years old. Vic is a young Hyde Park resident who’s still attending High School, but when he finds time away from the typical things that consumes a teenager’s life he’s in the booth and creating insane music. Vic is also currently in a band named Kids These Days who’ve performed a number of times in Chicago, most notably at Reggies for the Every Drop Counts Haiti benefit and at the Viaduct opening for Dom Kennedy and Rich Hil. Vic’s raw talent and ability remind me somewhat of the Live at the BBQ Nas, yet he’s drawn some comparisons to Drake and I think he sounds somewhat like Blu, yet I’ll let you make your own judgements… Enter the Mensa
