Vanderslice is back with his Trendsetter EP. The seven-track effort features guest contributions from G Perico, Ty Farris, Vic Spencer, Daniel Son and Capo.
In a press release, Slice explained he had “like 20 or 30 loops at [his] disposal, all gutter, all in the same vein” as he plotted the project. After he narrowed it down to his seven favorites, he personally linked with each MC with the intention of staying true to his pure, raw rap aesthetic.
“It’s mission critical to maintain my identity,” Vanderslice said.”Our sound is less is more and we don’t follow the trends, we’re setting the trend.”
Standout tracks include the previously released “Cold Winter” and “Barry White Shit” with Perico.
“‘Barry White Shit’ was a blessing,” Slice explained. “We were fortunate to catch G Perico right before he took flight. The beat is just a loop with bass under it, it’s gritty, and it’s a side of G you rarely hear.”

Dude has some decent beats. But If you follow him on ig you’ll notice a few things. A) He appears to live with his grandmother. B) He appears to be incredibly overweight and struggles through the daily tasks of life. C) He comes across incredibly arrogant and loves to talk shit. I’m not buying your album so you can be an keep being arrogant, overweight and sit on your bum at grandmas house bro…
Bro who you to judge? Dude’s creating art. Support it or not but keep your own arrogant comments on my mans life to yourself.
And yet, YOU STILL FOLLOW HIM ???
