Victony — SLICK

Victony — SLICK
One minute forty-six seconds. SLICK landed on July 8 with the phonogram line reading OUTLAWVILLE, Victony's own imprint, and Encore holding the license, which is a more interesting sentence than the song: at twenty-five, four years after Soweto made him portable, he is renting distribution rather than being absorbed by it. Ozedikus and Dera The Boy build the track from electronic texture over loose live percussion and leave the voice on top with nothing to fight. An influencer, Amma, opens it. It is well made and it is thin, a mood sustained for the length of a lift ride, and its job is to keep Starlife warm next to FRE$H. He is already in the 50. This is not the record that tests the seat.
