The crowd was full of energy at the Echoplex Thursday night for Vic Mensa’s Converse Rubber Tracks Live show.
The evening kicked off with a set from Wes Period. Soon 22-year old Chicago rapper, Vic Mensa, took the stage. He performed some of his popular songs from his mixtape Innanetape like “Holy Holy,” and “YNSP.” Mensa also debuted a collaboration with Skrillex called “No Chill,” which marks his latest release.
“U Mad,” which features a verse from Kanye West, ended the concert and sent the audience into a wild frenzy.
