'Facts of Life' is | | filled with feelings of angst and hope. We're transported into the | | mind of a person struggling with his own vices and societal | | pressures. | | | | One evening during a spontaneous vestige of clarity Vik laid down 90% | | of the tape. Through a four month bout of recklessness he broke away | | from his usual habit of getting turnt up off some beers. He instead | | grabbed some records, a mic, a recorder and his 404; laying down his | | raw emotions in an equally raw analogue way. | | | | The tape is bookended with musings from his Comfy God persona, | | inviting the listener into his stream of bi-polar frustrations. He | | opens with a warped conception of his usual drunken emotional state. | | And his signature subconscious raps are snapshots into the ups and | | downs of his aggressions and motivations. | | | | The rest of the tape is a more typical TRASH//SUPPLY affair where the | | mood is dictated through his beat production. The vocal samples from | | which Vik has drawn are very much mantras that uncover his varying | | emotions. | | | | In an age where contemporary hip-hop often embraces times of | | recklessness, Vik manages to paint a more introspective and honest | | representation of those more withdrawn moments in life. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
