From Jacksonville, Arkansas, Victor Lofland, known professionally as VicFrm501, is more than a rising artist—he’s a movement. At just 22, Vic is carving a path for his city, his generation, and anyone who has had to turn heartbreak into hope.
From Tragedy to Drive
Vic’s journey began with unimaginable loss. On July 30, 2019, a week after his 17th birthday, he lost his brother, Seth Lamar Taylor, to gun violence. Rather than letting grief define him, Vic transformed his pain into purpose, channeling it into his music.
“I had to turn my pain into passion and turn up a notch,” Vic reflects—and that determination shines through in every track he releases.
A Sound Rooted in Real Life
VicFrm501’s music is raw, reflective, and honest, blending real-life experiences with messages for the youth. His songs warn against the pitfalls of the streets while inspiring resilience and perseverance. This authenticity has earned him recognition from industry names such as Money Man, TEC, AmpWayne, TopTierSoda, CMadd, OTF C3, Noza Jordan, SelfPaidSavage, 1100 Phats, KentheMan, and more.
Co-Signs and Momentum
A turning point came in 2024 when Money Man co-signed Vic on Instagram, giving him a massive boost and introducing his music to a global audience. That support only fueled his grind further, proving that VicFrm501 is a force to be reckoned with.
His recent visuals, “I Want You” and “DJ Wagner,” highlight his versatility and evolving sound. Now, he’s preparing for “Death Ain’t Easy: The Deluxe,” an album set to deliver even more depth and passion than the original. Upcoming collaborations with JornaeTheProduct, FTE FatBoy, Amp Curt, and others underline his growing influence in the culture.
“The key is to drop a visual every week,” Vic says, a strategy that’s keeping him consistent and climbing.
Mentorship and Vision
Vic also credits Arkansas legend AmpWayne for guidance and encouragement during critical moments in his career, a support system that continues to shape his vision.
When asked about potential label deals, Vic doesn’t hesitate:
“Black Circle. They always showed love since the start and always check in—makes me feel like my time is coming real soon.”
With his current momentum, could VicFrm501 become the first Arkansas artist to sign with Money Man’s Black Circle ENT? If his rise is any indication, that milestone could be just around the corner.
From Jacksonville to the world, VicFrm501 is proving that music isn’t just entertainment—it’s a movement. Heart, purpose, and authenticity drive every step of his journey.
