Late Blackalicious MC Gift of Gab, New Posthumous Track ‘Vice Grip’

Gift of Gab, the late Blackalicious rapper, has a new song titled “Vice Grip” out on Nature Sounds. The song will be featured on the MC’s forthcoming posthumous album, Finding Inspiration Somehow, which will be released on September 10th.

Lateef the Truthspeaker and Jumbo of Lifesavas, two of Gift of Gab’s frequent collaborators, also appreciated the song.

Before his death in June, Gift of Gab had been working on Finding Inspiration Somehow for several years and had completed the album. Gift of Gab hasn’t released a full-length solo album since 2012’s “The Next Logical Progression,” however he did release an EP (Rejoice! Rappers Are Rapping Again!) and a mixtape “Supreme Lyricism Vol. 2: Conscious Lyricism Lives,” in 2017. Gift of Gab also released a unique EP, Offerings, in 2020 as a thank you to those who gave to a GoFundMe campaign to finance his kidney transplant.
