HIS STORY:



Vic knew he was destined for success early on in life. A natural-born hustler and bona fide artist, Vic Da Baron exhibited signs of unusually high intelligence and gained a reputation for his talents at a young age. Dealing with a loss as a youth introduced him to the harsh realities of inner city Oakland where he grew up. Profoundly affected by the brutal murder of his mother, Catrina, a soul and gospel singer and Vic's most enthusiastic supporter, he worked twice as hard to keep pushing and striving for excellence in his artistry. His brother, Vitani Teflon, also brought him along to local studio sessions and helped introduce him to the scene.
In November 2007, Vic released his first solo mixtape 12-02-81 : THE BEGINNING and Nexus: The Connection. His debut album, History In The Making, caused a strong buzz in the bay and backpack community receiving spins in London, Holland, New Jersey, Germany, and Atlanta, The first album off his label, Grindstone Ent., features Bay veterans E-40, Turf Talk, Numskull of Da Luniz, and Southern rapper, Prince Bugsy. It also features top-notch production from 6Fingers, Jallah Keys, Frank Stacks, A. Rishwain, Kevin Bedford, and Insane. Vic has recorded or performed with J. Cole, Tha Jacka, San Quinn, Rappin 4 Tay, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and Too Short.
His killer combination of lyrical intensity and raw delivery is reminiscent of some of his strongest influences Redman, Rakim, 2Pac, and De La Soul. Vic is also largely inspired by the talent of his late mother and the sounds he grew up on: Reggae, Gospel, 70's Soul, 80's Synth-Funk, and the grunge of the 90's. A true showman with the swagger of Frank Sinatra on and offstage, Vic Da Baron engages his audience like a seasoned pro. Evidently, Vic Da Baron has garnered respect from hip-hop artists and fans alike and is continuing to create a buzz in the industry. History In The Making maintains the heat, voracity, integrity and pure skill he has demonstrated since, "THE BEGINNING."
