UK rap’s rising force V.I.C returns with “Cole Palmer” a sharp, cinematic new single that blends hunger, focus, and lyrical finesse into one commanding statement.
Over haunting string samples, pounding 808s, and crisp percussion, V.I.C raps with a cold determination that mirrors the mindset of the track’s namesake Manchester City’s Cole Palmer. His flow is precise yet unpredictable, flipping through cadences as he ruminates on ambition, discipline, and the pursuit of greatness. “When it comes to me, I just keep my mind in my business // Getting paid off of their interest,” he spits, before switching gears into a menacing beat change and reaffirming his drive with a lethal “licence to kill.”
Inspired by both Palmer’s mentality and his own relentless creative focus, V.I.C channels the spirit of a hustler honing his craft. The production — reminiscent of The Godfather’s grand, ominous soundscape — amplifies the drama, making “Cole Palmer” not just a song, but a statement of intent.
With this release, V.I.C cements his position as one of the UK’s most technically gifted and introspective new voices — an artist balancing raw energy with razor-sharp purpose.
