[Video] Vic Mensa, Bun B, A$AP Rocky Freestyle on MTV's Rapfix Live
If you haven't heard yet, Chicago's own Vic Mensa is killing the game lately. Having dropped his first solo project in three years, hit the road with J. Cole and Wale and spit a verse on BET, I'd say it's been a good year so far for the 19-year-old Save Money member. Never one to slow down, Mensa, hungry as ever, showed up to MTV's Rapfix eager to prove that his verse on BET's The Backroom was no fluke. What preceded was absolutely ridiculous as ever, with Mensa spitting bars for days to the point Sway literally had to stop him to go to commercial. Vic's got bars, folks and both Bun B and A$AP Rocky, two of rap's heavyweights seemed endlessly impressed. Please, do not sleep on Save Money, they just keep upping the bar. Watch the full video below.

[Video] Vic Mensa: "YNSP" (feat. Eliza Doolittle)
Vic Mensa keeps it coming with his latest video released today for the ever catchy "YNSP" off his recently-released Innanetape project that has had listeners across the country talking about these kids from Chicago. The most recent offering, shot by Nem Prez, has the Save Money General and company firmly entrenched in a Matrix-like 'innanet,' as they do their thing in a 2001: A Space Odyssey-esque backdrop, while Dally Auston keeps his rep up with some absolutely crazy looking dancing, aided by some clever editing (keep an eye out). Yung Net Save Peso himself heads to Chicago for his homecoming on December 17 and RubyHornet is trying to send you and a friend, hit the link for more on that and enjoy the video below.

[RH Exclusive] Day 1 of Chance The Rapper's Social Experiment Tour
Chance The Rapper opened his debut headlining Social Experiment tour two and a half hours south of his hometown of Chicago on Friday October 25. Photographer/videographer Bryan Lamb and myself made the trip and were on hand for all the festivities as Chance and crew kicked things off at the University of Illinois. A majority of Save Money made the trip south, joining Chano onstage was none other than Vic Mensa who himself is currently between tours with J. Cole and Disclosure.
The set was the culmination of weeks worth of rehearsals and practice for Chance, Music Director Peter CottonTale and the rest of the backing band and sound crew including Greg Landfair, Nico Segal and Jake Lipp who rented out both the Metro and Reggie's to get a go-around of the stage set-up, lights and combination of both a solo part of the set, as well as one with the band. What the U of I crowd got was one hell of a show that went off as smooth as one could expect given the circumstances and which upped the bar for the remainder of the shows on the tour. Both CottonTale and Lipp, working behind the scenes, were pleased with the show and the fact that there were no major hiccups. Bryan (FragDFilms) did his thing and captured the first stop of the tour in the photos and video below, check it out and stay hooked to RH for continuing Social Experiment coverage.
