Music Video Of The Day: Vic Mensa 'Down On My Luck'

By Lisa White in Arts & Entertainment on May 20, 2014 10:30PM

We've been fans of Chicago's Vic Mensa since his skills shined as part of Kids These Days. Since the band parted ways he has kept busy, working on his own material as well as collaborating with other Chicago standouts like Chance the Rapper. Mensa was recently named one of the twelve artists in this year's XXL freshman class and now Pitchfork has bestowed upon him the title of "best new track" this week.

Check out the video for his latest cut that is channeling a bit more Chicago house than hip hop. Not that we mind at all, Mensa is an exceptional fit and churns out a perfectly smooth summer jam.

Since you apparently can't watch music videos on television anymore, we'll showcase one here daily. There's no rhyme or reason, time or season, to which video we'll choose. Have a suggestion? Contact us at tips@chicagoist.com.
