LVLN UP
Vic Mensa
This version of Vic Mensa can put your favorite rapper in a blender.
I’m a Vic Mensa apologist. I tell anyone willing to listen that he has mad potential. While I don’t think he’s lived up to expectations just yet, Vic is only 30 years old, so he has plenty of time to (Hell, Jay-Z didn’t get poppin’ until he was in his mid-thirties. I’m not calling Vic Mensa the next Jay-Z, BTW). With that being said, I expect the Chicago rapper’s forthcoming project, Victor, to be huge for him. The latest single from it, “LVLN UP,” hit streaming services today.
Vic Mensa kicks ass and takes names in “LVLN UP.” Throughout the song, he talks about his personal growth and success in the music industry. Vic also mentions being underestimated in the past (“They said I would never come up”), but now he’s achieved a level of wealth and recognition (“Look at me now, wealthy as fuck”). Appropiately, Vic’s triumphant lyrics are delivered with bold, fierce deliveries and are accompanied by a ferocious, mean-ass beat. This negro has enough gas in him to drive to Idaho.
