Working Class Legend (2009)



Working Class Legend (2009)
A cornerstone of Chicago’s underground hip-hop, Working Class Legend captures V!sual in full blue-collar stride—pairing Molemen-grade boom-bap with no-excuses lyricism. The adrenaline kick comes early on “We Gonna Fly,” a two-minute, Partizan-produced rocket where skittering drums and swivel-horn chops turn upward mobility into a street-corner soul chant. “Never Sold Crack” (feat. Cap D) anchors the record: over moody keys and crisp snares, V!sual rejects drug-dealer mythology, championing honest hustle with lines as direct as a punch press. “F’ Dreams, Make Plans” pushes that ethos further—flipping the cliché of “someday” into a hard-nosed blueprint for generational wealth. With additional production from Panik, Domingo, and Rashid Hadee, the album cements V!sual’s rep for mindful, motivational rap that speaks to real paychecks, real setbacks, and real rise-ups.
