Review of The Art of Spitting: a radio portrait of Slick Vic Low

Piece does a great job of portraying Slick Vic Low by letting the artist present himself to us in a way he knows best; his music. He talks about writers block, which he doesn't have, jazz, which he infuses skillfully to outfit his words, and poetry by way of being an MC. The sound of his music is relaxing and the presentation here, with in-between thoughts by the artist himself, makes listening to the piece a cool experience.
Slick's fine taste in words and music and the way he cooks them should be served as a smooth dish to a broader audience. And I hear Program Directors can make that happen.
