Chicago based MC Vi (pronounced Vy) is poised to bring the soul back into rap & Hip-Hop with his debut album, SUPPOSED 2 BE through HUSTLER MUSIC due out soon. While growing up in the Windy City’s infamous Altgeld Gardens, Vi listened to musical greats such as Al Green, James Brown & Jay Z, making this versatile MC a natural at composing passionate lyrical barbs that mesh effortlessly with his sonically moving tracks. The end result is what he dubs, hustler music. Vi, also known as Beautiful, earned this alias from deceased TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, whom he met while in Atlanta as a young teen to describe his style & flow. Catch music by Vi, featured on HBO’s smash hit Entourage & Starz Original series Crash.
