Vic Mensa is a 22-year-old American Hip Hop recording artist from Chicago, IIIinois. He was a former member of the group formed in the year 2009 called Kids These Days, who released his INNANETAPE mix tape in 2013. In the first month the tape was downloaded over 35.00 times after it’s released. Vic is also the founder of SAVEMONEY, a hip-hop collective with Chance the Rapper. “Down On My Luck” is his first debut single and was released last June 2014 that achieved success internationally.
Vic is the latest signee of Roc Nation, and was under the mentorship of the famous Hip Hop Icon, Kanye West. They have worked on two very good singles together. The first one which is an ephemeral single called “Wolves” also featuring Sia gained popularity and debuted it in SNL’s 40th birthday, but he got arguably the biggest break of his career with their second single, where Kanye produced and rapped on his latest track “U Mad” back in March. This is also the first single on his upcoming album called Traffic.
On 08th of June, Vic Mensa and Kanye West released the Music Video for “U Mad”. The video was directed by the great Grant Singer. In the video the two Hip Hop artists were aggressive and showing off their rap game with a bunch of red evocative lights dancing, sparks, off and on. Also in the video Mensa was strapped into a straightjacket, and some riot police showed up and at the end to shut things down in a violent fashion – it’s was dark but strikingly beautiful.
Mr. West was rocking in a Donda sweatshirt and Vic going shirtless and wearing a see-through shirt.
