Little Vic - “The Evil That Men Do”

“The Evil That Men Do” is the latest track from Little Vic’s album Each Dawn I Die. Starting with an ethereal piano and dissonant guitar chords, the beginning creates a level of tension hinting that something big is about to set off. When the beat finally drops, Little Vic busts out a gritty energy that the New York rap scene has not seen in a minute. Weaving the tale of “Handsome Johnny,” Little Vic picks up the storytelling tradition made famous by fellow NY native Nas and adds hard-hitting beats. Speaking about the song Little Vic said, “Johnny represents a lot of kids I know, kids who act like something they aren’t.” From a lyrical standpoint, Little Vic mixes street stories with a philosophical sensibility, not just telling a story of what evil men do, but also analyzing what drives men to do evil. Little Vic rhymes, “When he got the cash / something in his eyes showed the evil side / and no one could hold him back.” Buckwild, who has also worked with Nas, Snoop Dogg, Black Rob and Redman, produced the track.
