Must-Watch Music Videos: Vic Mensa Shows Us Why We Love ‘Orange Soda’

The phenomenal rap funk, Roots-eqsue, group of music prodigies Kids These Days may have broken up recently but that doesn’t mean the members are done making music. First off the block is the new video/track from former lead singer Vic Mensa. It’s hook heavy, beat happy and most definitely summer time party friendly.

Already a veteran musician at the ripe old age of 18, Vic is a Chicago based rapper with a straight up “posi” flow. A vibe that garners constant comparisons to his cohort and similarly upbeat Chi-town based MC, Chance tha Rapper. Vic’s tunes are perfect for blasting from a hot rooftop while sitting in a kiddie pool. ‘Orange Soda’ is a summer jam session complete with all of the party essentials: orange crush, inflatables, girls, and that stuff another famous Chicago native smoked one time in college.
