Vic Mensa

I am a multi-disciplinary artist from Chicago; my primary medium is hip-hop music. I was born and raised on the South Side with family roots in Ghana, West Africa. Growing up I was a skateboarder first, a graffiti artist second and a rapper third, music quickly becoming the fabric that tied all poles of my life together and gave me contextual meaning. The ethos of my creativity is truth telling; to share my unique perspective through the various mediums I employ.

The song King Of The Slum was made during my recent stay in Ghana in January. I titled it as such in reference to the slum in which my family resides and my father was born, known as Asokore Zongo in Koforidua. Zongo settlements are largely poverty stricken areas in West African towns comparable in ways to the Black American ghetto, albeit much less resourced. Much of the lyrical content of this song speaks to the juxtaposition of these different sides of my existence. My uncle, who lives in the zongo, is a legendary Ghanian musician named Chief Kofi Sammy of the Okukuseku International Band, and a pioneer of a style of music called High Life. For this record, which I also produced, I took influence from the music of my ancestry while I was physically in my homeland to manipulate some traditional melodic elements within the framework of my own personal style.

The photograph out of which I made the cover is of myself in the Zongo with my nieces and nephews. Despite the extreme poverty experienced where my family lives, there is immense power in culture and spirituality that I have sought to express through my practice in both photography and music.

SLOE JACK

Yo guys my name is SLOE JACK! Im stoked to be back on Sound for the release of my third single, Renegade. 

"Renegade" is about being cheated on and the way it throws your mind off course. The memory of that humiliating moment lingers in the back of your head. It rings in your ears and it leaves you exhausted. Your ex thinks that what they did was justified, but youre not having it.

When I wrote this song I wanted it to feel ruthless, nasty and in-your-face. Since the theme comes from a place of hurt and rage I aimed to reflect that as well as I could sonically. 

I would like to thank Sound.xyz for giving me this opportunity. This platform is a serious game-changer for artists of all sizes!

Renegade #2

My name is SLOE JACK. Im a nineteen-year-old punk/pop artist from Melbourne, Australia.

My debut track, Number, outlines heartbreak, betrayal and how difficult it can be to trust someone after being stabbed in the back. Meeting people after a bad relationship is basically just red flag hunting, a search for reasons to flee the scene to defend yourself from previous traumas. When I wrote this song I wanted the lyrics to be blatant and honest. Were talking about straight-up relationship anxiety here, so why not lay it out bare.

All I used to listen to as a kid was dubstep. As a result of listening to straight square waves for my entire childhood, I have an instinctual and inhuman urge to distort every sound I throw at my track, no matter the genre. People ask me, how do I achieve the SLOE JACK sound? All you gotta do is disregard all production standards and get weird.

Big thanks to the Sound team for giving me this opportunity and to Dreams Never Die for releasing my debut track! I feel so fortunate to be involved in the first season of Sound and I will never forget this moment.

Number #21

Yo guys my name is SLOE JACK. Im so stoked to be back on Sound to celebrate the arrival of my new track Mine. This track describes being in a relationship where the good moments are few and far between. It has you stuck in a loop that leaves you unfulfilled and bitter. This relationship is destructive and the cycle needs to be broken before the love consumes both of you.

Im really happy with how this track came out. The guitars are super crunchy and vocal flows give it a distinct flavour in my opinion. I had a great time writing this one and I hope you can hear it in my delivery!

Finally, Id like to thank the crew at Sound for having me back on their platform. It is such a valuable resource for creators, I'm forever thankful <3

-Sloe
