Vic Mensa - “Down On My Luck” (Official Video)

The young Chicago rapper and Chance The Rapper buddy Vic Mensa established himself as a sharp up-and-comer on last year’s Innanetape mixtape, and the one-offs he’s released since then have been strong, too. His latest, “Down On My Luck” is a graceful Chicago house glide with precious little actual rapping, and its video, from director Ben Dickinson, has a fun nightclub-Groundhog Day premise. At the club, Mensa learns, though trial and error, how to avoid everything that’s going to fuck up his night.
