"More than a concert, his well-crafted stage show referenced topical concerns that hit home for Chicago fest-goers, addressing such issues as inequality, segregation, and police brutality...All told, the set was a theatrical and political work of art and one that separates Mensa from the pack." - Chicago Magazine

 

“It was a legendary performance piece — one those in attendance won’t soon forget. In a weekend littered with half-ass performances and mailed in sets, Vic truly set himself apart from the pack. In my opinion, he had the biggest impact on this weekend’s festival.”

“…most exciting final act of Saturday night. That honor belongs to Chicago’s Vic Mensa”
