Indie rapper Vicious Teknique‘s latest release, “Have U Heard U,” is a hard-hitting and profound piece that tackles social issues ranging from the current immigration discussions, lack of empathy, and social injustice, but the core theme is the anti-war/genocide rhetoric. The production has a dark and ominous vibe, which works with the gloom and doom of today’s world. Armed with his baritone and gruff vocal style and knack for painting vivid imagery with his bars, Vicious Teknique delivers a solid performance ripe with insight and thought-provoking lines. Bars like

“Know you reached scope talking on the full/fool
When you gonna pull those back laid off the rules
On the wrong G.U.N. until they left off the stool
Joe Rogan shit take off the pool (0:45)
Hit it down until the cue got it eight balling
Take another -one down bae seen’em -all falling
Calling back -tall until they all come all crawling
back into the wrong arms yeah
Seen’em all Stalin/stalling huh”

underpin real-time issues and leave listeners with something to think about, and at the end, the call to action may be acted upon.
