Vic Rivers | “Cruel Intentions (feat. CallMeStanley)”
Vic Rivers creates music that resonates with all walks of life. Penning honest lyrics about his daily experiences and inner thoughts, he uses an authentic approach to garner a fanbase. And without delay, the New York-based rapper gets closer to an ascending career.
Growing up in a diverse neighborhood and multicultural household to a Puerto Rican father and Guyanese mother, Vic came across many situations and beings that later motivated his music.
At 13-years-old, music had become his outlet for dealing with frustration and depression. Moreover, music served as his soul’s therapy. Years later, the companionship he found in sound prompted him to record songs that would allow him to express himself freely.
Vic used his depression as a source of inspiration to create diverse organic music and founded his own music production company called Diversity Never Abandoned, an acronym for DNA. The name serves as an ode to diversity and his multicultural upbringing – not only ethnically but sonically.
Vic Rivers “Cruel Intentions”
His song “Cruel Intentions” explores a situationship that’s got him in the feels. Though his love interest is looking to jump his bones without being attached, Vic Rivers finds himself falling hard for this special lady.
In an energetic flow, he raps:
“Safe sex with no safe hearts/Need more than a muse for my art/Love don’t cost a thing, can’t afford it/Window shop from afar, I adored it/Bagged up by your MCM/You rather just be friends.”
In the second verse, the emerging rapper uses a poetic array of rhymes to express how he feels like they should date. But there’s still a split-up that she needs to heal from. He urges his love interest to take a chance on love.
“Getting tired of the one-night stands/Could be bad for you, but your ex worse/Always on your phone, why I gotta text first/She said it’s not you, you can blame time.”
Before closing the song, he details the experience of getting under the sheets without having feelings involved. In the end, he unveils that she’s unfaithful to her partner.
He delivers,
“Sex with no strings, that’s lavish/No feelings but we still make love/Feel numb, but you don’t take drugs/Cruel Intentions, why I can’t date you/Cheats on her man with me that’s faithful.”
