Icewear Vezzo – Rich Off Pints [Album Stream]

Icewear Vezzo is celebrating his self-made status and entrepreneurial spirit and while he is at it, he’s showing off Michigan’s flourishing rap scene. Today to the Detroit monumental hip-hop figure dropped his Rich Off Pints mixtape and along with it, a no-nonsense smack talker video “Choppy Talk.”

“Choppy Talk” features Vezzo’s signature rhyming with his trademark calm. He elucidates the many reasons why he is not one to be trifled with: “I’m a lean-sippin, pill-poppin’, dread-headed, real Rasta/Choppa shoota, hit ’em, they gon’ have to fly in real doctors.” In the video, Vezzo rocks an Iced Up Records jacket as he takes his Range Rover to a Detroit neighborhood with a few of his most loyal associates.

Spanning 16 tracks, Rich Off Pints unfolds into Vezzo’s experience, mind and control in the streets of Detroit and around the Midwest. Vezzo shows his introspective side on songs like “Still With Me” (“Used to have sh*t to live for, now I have plenty reasons,” spits Vezzo on the track), but he’s more than happy to unleash his razor-sharp tough talk on bangers like “Jack Artist” and “Kitchen.” Forever thinking of the bigger picture, Vezzo ensured that Rich Off Pints reflects the vibrancy of Michigan’s flourishing rap scene. The project reverberates with the sounds of Detroit area sound architects like Max Beats, Michigan Meech, Wayne, and more. Vezzo invites some of the most exciting Michigan rappers in the scene to share the spotlight with him, including Rio Da Yung OG, Peezy, Louie Ray, among many others. With additional appearances from respected names like Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, EST Gee, Dreezy, BIG 30, and more, Rich Off Pints tells Vezzo’s story while paying tribute to a Detroit scene he helped foster.
