“New York is a state of mind” is the kind of cliché that, tragically, has taken on new meaning across the past few decades. – Alex BrownĪkai Solo 無限 力 - From the Burning East with Love Nevertheless, this tape is a determinant answer to the “success” question posed by 6toven in 2018. As an answer, Foolio proclaims that he Never Wanted Fame in the first place. Riding the wave of a tape with someone as established and prolific as Zaytoven on the decks is the easy part what’s difficult is navigating the fame and success that comes afterward. Anywho, Florida has had a comeuppance in recent years, and here you can expect the same clamorous temper of Foolio’s Floridian contemporaries (Montana Fat, KirbLaGoop, Big Baby, Mob Squad, Baby Soulja, to name a few). Foolio held his own quite impressively, but then again, Zaytoven doesn’t do a full-length collab with just anyone, you know. I first spotted Jacksonville, Florida’s Foolio in 2018 when he collaborated with the legendary Zaytoven to make 6toven, a featureless tape with a rapper I’d never heard of effortlessly maneuvering over lush productions from the most important producer in the history of trap music.

Lobbing in a Chris Crack assist on the excellent “Lucifer Callin’” and longtime Tree collaborator Ton3 Sk33t on “Flood” further completes the set this latest VicTree saga really doesn’t pull any proverbial punches, though I don’t doubt its creators have had to for real. Street dreams, hood nightmares: Nothing Is Something has them all at a base level and at an easily digestible 30 minutes to boot. In fact, Vic probably says it best barely two minutes into the thing: “ Me on a muhfuckin’ soultrap beat, that means I’m rappin’ the best.” Minds meet, we meet minds - those rough-around-the-edges soultrap flourishes jive with Tree’s weary tales of botched robberies and ass-whoopings, while Vic’s medley of humblebrags come across as both brutally honest and a touch remorseful, typifying a consummate storyteller with plenty on his mind. God bless Tree! And outs to the SaveMoney-aligned Vic Spencer, as the two reunite for another VicTree lap on Nothing Is Something. Tree & Vic Spencer - Nothing Is Something
