music video of the (yester)day: "Lovely Day" by Vic Mensa
You know that illness featured in Chance The Rapper's "Cocoa Butter Kisses"? That's Vic Mensa, another young Chicago talent who you should watch out for. Legit though, download INNANETAPE and see what's up. Obvi if you name your mixtape anything internet related I'm down but the kid has skill. Mensa is currently opening on the J. Cole/Wale tour and as far as I'm concerned is the clear highlight. Mensa will also be opening for Disclosure come 2014. So yeah, dude is real. Get. Into. It.
Oh and also it is a lovely day isn't it?
