Rapper SkyLife Vain hails from Detroit, MI serves up a different breed of rap. He rap styles expresses the temperament of the city that is rough, rugged and gritty. This can especially be heard on the track “The Grind”. Listeners can hear the raw passion and a very diverse and original style of lyricism with a uncanny variety of punchlines. He prides himself on his deep and real to the letter lyrics as well as wit and metaphors. His poetry background provides him with a wide range of imagery and uplifting verses. One of my favorite tracks is “In My Red Cup”. I come from the days of the golden age of Hip-Hop and red cups was synonymous with a great house party. SkyLife Vain offers a different take on Hip-Hop from the Motor City.
