Vic Mensa is gearing up to release quite the album this summer, according to FakeShoreDrive’s Andrew Barber.
Barber recently had the opportunity to preview the Chicago rhymer’s debut studio full-length during a studio session.
Without delving into too much detail, he offered some insight into what fans can expect from Mensa’s debut. The FakeShoreDrive founder even went so far as to dub the album an “easy contender for album of the year.”
“It’s Vic’s BEST work to date. Better than INNANETAPE. It’s an open book & he even brings that old Roc sound back. No ID is the exec producer,” Andrew Barber tweeted Wednesday (May 31).
The project, which has been in the works for a while, will reportedly be executive produced by No I.D., and will feature musical contributions from Pharrell Williams, Chief Keef, Rivers Cuomo (of Weezer), Joey Purp, and The-Dream.
A summer release for Vic Mensa’s long-awaited debut comes after a handful of EP and mixtape releases from the rapper, including last year’s There’s A Lot Going On.
Vic is so whack. Up there with Vince Staples. This is why Kendrick is so dope. He just drops teasers for his album, gets the hype rolling based on the material and doesn’t need b/s PR to get people buying his music. Bet it’s a flop!
stop sucking Kendrick’s dick he sucks and his voice is annoying af….. all he do is be over animated
???? saids nobody. get your life together boi.
Kids and teenagers love queerd voiced rappers, and they buy music. And if homie up there wont call kendrick lamar dope, well then nobody will know it. Hype is obvious, when veteran rappers with plats and solid catalogues get hated on, while some k.dot out of nowhere is a living legend claiming some ‘lyricism’, give me a break.
Floppareli the don
He’s certainly more talented than those trap kids. If he brings the old Roc sound back, I might give him a chance.
Been waiting for this album since the traffic tour…
Last album was wack he not using the right sound
Vic mensa trashbags
I keep seeing his name constantly on here, but I can’t even name one song from him. Maybe the music should do the talking instead of paid promo teams saying shit like “album of the year” before it even drops.
Nobody has ever said this, except his own sad little ass.
