Vic Mensa with Nick B

Recording Session while I engineered at his studio in his condo. Always love working with Vic, he’s one of the most talented artists I’ve worked with in my career. He’s working on two new albums, a lot of new music and starting to produce some of his own tracks. His style is continuing to evolve in a way that isn’t too far outside of his scope where you’d question why he’s making music the way he is. I feel he’s pushing the envelope just enough with tracks like “Down on my Luck” which is taking off as what seems to be his biggest single.

The session was about 6 hours, we made a few new tracks and I cleaned up some of the sessions he had. Alway love teaching someone techniques or ways to organize a session when they’re trying to learn how to work on their own.
