Chicago’s own Vi, a.k.a. Beautiful, is bringing the soul back to hip-hop. Drawing influence from some of R&B’s best, from Al Green to Lenny Williams, Vi’s on the way to making himself a Chi-Town legend. One of his new songs, My Life, is up for possible inclusion on his album, Supposed 2 Be, and paints a rich picture of the ghetto lifestyle from which he hails. Elegant flutes vibe with hard drums and soul samples from producers The Buchanans to back up Vi’s intense rhymes. Along with fellow Chicago native and ex-gang-member-turned-philanthropist, Noonie “G” Ward, Vi acknowledges the hardships that come from the streets. With up-and-coming singers Britney & Risque on the chorus, Vi pleads with the listener to accept him for what he is: a product of his environment. Expect more street-savvy rhymes on Supposed 2 Be, set to hit streets soon.
Listen to Vi's My Life ft. Noonie 'G' Ward and Britney & Risque More songs from Vi
cant believe for once i disagree with Patty, but i mean the song is alright. its great this time i hear it, but i dont think i would come back on here to listen to it again.
This guy has a pretty good flow and delivery. Real forceful. I don't know about that hook though. You don't have to use R and B singers to give your song more effect. But overrall combined with that beat, this is a banger.
