V.I.R.U. hits the Hip Hop scene with a raw narrative flow focused on critical aspects of his life experience – such as his upbringing on the Eastside of Chicago. Growing up in a drug addicted household and surrounded by the influence of the streets. V.I.R.U. was swept into the hustle at a young age, but it was this upbringing that solidified his creativity as an artist, writer, and also built his great sense of musicality.
With influences stemming from a variety of sources – such as Tupac, Marvin Gaye, Nirvana and Slick Rick to name a few – his music has an authenticity that magnifies the struggle without glorifying the hustle. V.I.R.U.’s goal is to reach beyond the walls cliché and stereotypical artist have created, and with music reflecting his story and comradery between he and his crew through a hustler’s mentality – which brings an observative outlook on progression and advancing to the next plateau – the audience can vibe while listening to his overall message that there is a power in numbers.
For V.I.R.U., music is more than being king or chasing the crown, because to him the word “top” is infinitive. Always learning, always writing and always connecting with his listeners while striving to create authentic music. Verses in Real Understanding delivers his experience in a raw perspective as he advances in the Hip Hop scene.
