]]> INNANETAPE Vic MensaWe don’t get to write about everything that happens in rap, but we do listen to a lot, so believe us when we say that Vic Mensa’s INNANETAPE is one of the most refreshing mixtapes of the year. Unsurprisingly, Vic shares our thoughts, so he had to let the corresponding visuals follow suit. The video for “YNSP” is a hark back to the days of the internet’s adolescence, when all images were distorted and “I have Netscape” wasn’t a self-deprecating joke. The video is definitely nostalgic, but it’s unique in that it doesn’t present the past as an unblemished fantasy-world. For Vic, the errors, inconsistencies and limitations don’t need to be downplayed or fetishized to enjoy the past. He and his crew revel in the weirdness, but they’re not “slumming it” or being ironic; they’re simply saying it was what it was. Watch below. He’s onto something.

]]> Vic Mensa Lovely DayOur playlists have barely had a moment to recover since Vic dropped “YNSP,” the Chicago sing-rhymer’s anthemic theme song, and already he’s popped up again with “Lovely Day.” This is, far and away Vic‘s most accessible release from the upcoming INNANETAPE (September 30). With a quick, lively instrumental cooked up by Vic himself and consistent connect Peter Cottentail, and his typically jumbled, layered flow, Vic is coming with high energy and high spirits. “Lovely Day” is sunshine music. The freewheeling video, featuring a sly nod to earlier INNANETAPE release, “Orange Soda,” takes us through a speedy, lighthearted, shroom-y day in the life of Vic Mensa. Enjoy the beach, Drake jokes, and pool hopping below.
