Interview by: Martin Bauman If you haven't taken notice of the music that's been coming out of Chicago lately, now's the time to start paying attention. The Windy City is experiencing its biggest surge of hip-hop talent since the likes of Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco, in no small part due to the SaveMoney camp and perhaps its most versatile member of all,
Vic Mensa. With a sharp wit and an excellent ear for melody, the sky really is the limit for the 20-year-old from Hyde Park who put out one of our
favourite free releases from 2013,
Innanetape. The Come Up Show caught up with Vic Mensa to talk about
Innanetape, believing in oneself, what he wants his legacy to be, and lots more.

We're back with another edition of The Come Up Show Podcast. Every two weeks, we’re dropping a new podcast with one of your favourite hip-hop artists. In between new podcasts, we’ll be releasing classic interviews as part of our #ThrowBackThursdays series. Last week, we brought you an interview with Young Guru. This time, we catch up with Chicago's rising star (and 2014 XXL Freshman) Vic Mensa.
We talk about Common's influence on him, his friendly rivalry with fellow XXL Freshman Chance The Rapper, whether fate has kept him alive, and lots more. Listen below (and read along here). Subscribe on iTunes: https://bit.ly/TCUSiTunes
Vic is back again with a new cut after hitting us with that "
A new visual cut for one of the more mellow tracks on Traphouse Rock. The crew lets loose of another video off of their latest release. Make sure you go and get this album....if you dig I promise it'll be under your top 10 albums of the year. 
It's finally here....15 tracks of incredible music. I personally have been waiting for this album to drop since the band released their 'Hard Times' EP last year. I've listened to this album probably 2 or 3 times since they posted the stream up yesterday and now its here for everyone to download and enjoy. Believe me you'll dig it! Hip hop, jazz, alternation, rock, R&B, blues....theres a little bit of everything for everyone on this album. You'll recognize certain melodies, riffs, bass lines, etc and it makes it so much more interesting knowing these kids are paying attention to detail when making their music
