Vic Mensa Lists Features & Producers On Debut Album "Traffic
Vic Mensa's debut album, Traffic, has been a long time coming. In fact, it's been over two and half years since his first and only official project, INNANETAPE. Still, Vic seems to be in good hands with Roc Nation, to which he signed a year ago, as most everything he drops is well-received by his extensive and loyal fanbase.
In a recent in-depth feature for CLASH, the Roc Nation rapper shared some details on what fans can expect to hear on Traffic. Producers on Traffic include Mike Dean, frequent Weeknd collaborator Illangelo, John Hill (who has produced for Eminem, Jay Z, and Rihanna), and Dave Sitek of the band TV on the Radio.
The album is featureless save for some minor contributions from Rivers Cuomo, the lead vocalist of the band Weezer. Vic apparently sampled Weezer's 1996 song "The Good Life" on a yet-to-be-titled Traffic track, and Cuomo ended up inviting Vic to his studio to listen to the song. After doing so, he agreed to lay down some new vocals atop the track.
