Vic Spencer- Touring Group Homes, Sticking To His Sound & Stories w/ Sean Price & Heltah Skeltah
This show is all about turning lemons into lemonade, taking a bad situation and flipping it so it works for you. Few have done this better than our next guest, Chi Town’s own Vic Spencer. In middle school Vic entered the group home system and when his schedule was restricted so he couldn’t play basketball anymore, he picked up the pen. The staff running the group homes took notice and decided to sponsor Vic to make music and tour other group homes, foster care events and the like sharing his positive message of turning a bad situation into a great one.
Fast forward years after that and after dropping many mixtapes he dropped the critical acclaimed “Cost of Victory” in 2015 which had the biggest buzz of any of his work to date. Despite being older than most of his contemporaries, he was not only able to make it in music but make it with his sound which is very different to his peers, but true to him. He also shared some inspiring and hilarious stories about meeting Sean Price and getting to work with someone he looked up to as well as eating weed brownies with Heltah Skeltah.
