V.I.C, the emerging young talent out of the UK continues an electric run of form with his brand-new cut “Let It Go” – taken from his highly anticipated mixtape VÄRIANT available on May 8th.
Opening with distorted bass lines and heavy-set percussion, “Let It Go” lays groundwork for V.I.C to flaunt his incendiary bars with typical finesse, guided by his own authority as he flexes on affiliates surrounding him. His smart, intricate wordplay advocates for growth and ambition before the instrumental shifts into pure UK rap bliss. Surrounded by vibrant, jazzy undertones, we see V.I.C at his most comfortable and potent, marking new levels for the London-based talent becoming a serious force across the UK and beyond.
Speaking on the track, V.I.C states: “’Let It Go’ highlights the value in embracing uncomfortability when creating – wandering into new places because that’s where the gems are found.”
Born in Nigeria, before settling in Southampton through his formative years, V.I.C was exposed to many muses and influences across music, fashion and community; most notably in the church choir where he discovered his voice and a serious passion for the creative arts. Quietly perfecting his craft through freestyles and songwriting, collaborating with his community and studying the rap game from afar, his own artistic evolution eventually found refuge across the bustling streets of London – a vigorous and reflective journey perfectly encapsulated on his debut EP Bedroom Chronicles.
Earning breakout status through tracks like “A Teen”, which collected 28M+ streams and placement on the official FIFA 22 soundtrack, V.I.C would continue his exciting upward trajectory with the intimate “Two Sides” and the introspective “4am”, highlighting his artistic integrity before unleashing his latest EP far from home. Now sitting on over 42M streams and counting, and selling out shows across the UK including Camden Assembly last year, V.I.C firmly establishes himself as a significant new voice emerging in British music right now.
