If you haven’t heard, the incomparable John Jigg$ has a new project out, By God’s Good Grace. I’ve always been a fan of the way Jigg$ can deliver on ANY beat, and apply any style and topic, but this is one of his best projects to date. Every time I thought I heard “the best track” the next one stole the show. There are some darker notes struck on the project which I have a propensity for, but as a body of work this is complete. Even the interludes are articulated well and give the project depth. In sharing with you I am singling out the DJ Mickey Knocks guitar infused rhythm because it’s a different energy and sets the bar.

Note:
While it’s been almost eight years since Vic has dropped an official album, he has turned out a mixtape or two during that time span and still remains sharp with precise lyrical wit that keeps the listener’s brain cells moving. Loosies Collection Part 1 is just that…an assortment of songs that Vic has done in the past couple of years assembled in one mixtape and blended together by none other than DJ Mickey Knox.
And while I hope that eventually we will get something official in the way of an album from Vic, I am content to hear some new joints not heard before and excited to share them with you.
Single You Out: Typ iLL x Peter Leo x Little Vic – The Light (prod. Velotz)
This music business is serious and these are some serious individuals on this track! This is some of that ‘gottdamn’ type music because you will be saying that a lot during the four minutes this track runs. Typ iLL, Peter Leo, and Little Vic showcase over this Velotz beat. This track has head nodder written all over it. (Oh and Vic’s verse if proof in point that he is one of the nicest in the game. Go ahead and tell me different!) Be warned…
