V, or Virtuous V, is different than the previous groups because he is a M.C., rapper, and music producer in the D.C. metro area. He attends George Mason University, and speaks out about social issues. V informed me that he addresses, "A broad range of subjects focusing on dealing with poverty, drugs, crime, and overcoming such challenging circumstances." His music reflects the same philosophy, and he conducts workshops on poverty, self expression, violence, drugs, and global warming.
He performed at the Sustainable Living Roadshow at George Mason University campus as well as at the 2012 George Mason Battle of the Bands. His music endeavors are not limited to this area though. He has had concerts in venues all over the United States. V has even performed in Paris, France!
V has a variety of influences including:Jeezy, YoungDro, Damian Marley, Clipse, IseLyfe, Luda, Webbie, India Arie, T.I., Jill Scott, Biggie, Pac, and Michael Jackson.
V is working on releasing a new album tentatively entitled Code Switch. He explained that the album "explores stereotypes about young black males and provides solutions on how to destroy them."
