Today, Grand Life Daily is introducing rapper Vic Po. Vic Po was discovered by Wu Tang’s Shyheim for his original sound. Born in Brooklyn and now residing in Long Island, Vic Po has spent the last two and a half years making a name for himself to the underground hip-hop community. He has been getting more recognition for his art and unique style. Parish, of EPMD, saw Vic Po perform at Dublin’s night club, came on the mic and said “this man has star potential”.
Vic Po has distributed his own mixtape ‘Put me on your iPod’ hosted by DJ Don Demarco and has numerous features, which can all be heard on datpiff.com. What has really gotten him a lot of his recognition, is his feature on the world distributed DVD “Hood Affairs Vol. 11”, Superstar Edition. The DVD featured artist such as Nicki Minaj, Gucci Mane, 50 Cent, Juelz Santana, Snoop Dogg and many more. This was his first big break, being the only unsigned artist on the DVD with a full segment. Vic Po is a UMA (Under Ground Music Awards) nominee, for artist to watch. This was a towering accomplishment because some of the alumni winners are Nicki Minaj, Maino, and Kay Slay. With all of these accomplishments Vic Po is continues to work hard at his upcoming mixtape DRENCH MAN which is set to be released this May on iTunes.
