Vic Mensa on Vulnerability, Violence, and Masculinity

Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling rapper and Chicago’s very own Vic Mensa is a master at owning his voice. In June, Vic released his newest record Sundiata independently, allowing him to take complete control over his music for the first time in over a decade. As a double Gemini, being open and real about all the versions of himself comes naturally, whether it’s dealing with addiction or getting caught up in fame or violence. But his Capricorn moon guides him through that transformation. In this episode, Vic tells Isa how he’s learned to trust the process over the years.
