While in Los Angeles, Vic stopped by Power 106’s The Cruz Show where the “U Mad” rapper freestyled for the radio program’s audience. Mensa rhymed over some classic beats from the West Coast legend Ice Cube, and he also shared his thoughts on the music business.

“I think there’s a lot of stale sh*t in this industry, but there’s also a lot of fresh avenues for us to take sh*t,” stated Vic. “I think n*ggas my age, the youth right now, is going crazy. We can really make this whatever we want to make it.”
