Vic Mensa Launches ‘The Vic Mensa Show’ With Chance The Rapper as First Guest: ‘A Space to Deepen the Dialogue’
In partnership with Mass Appeal, the podcast premieres on Aug. 26.
Chicago-based artist Vic Mensa has launched The Vic Mensa Show, a new podcast featuring deep conversations with artists, thinkers and activists. The Vic Mensa Show premiered on August 26 with Chance The Rapper as the first guest. The podcast will release a new episode every Wednesday for a season of 24 episodes. Mensa explains that the podcast is a platform to explore the intersection of music, culture and politics.
Topics will include discussions on socio-political-economic issues, America's history with race, and more. Mensa's podcast is part of a broader vision to provide a space for meaningful dialogue and collaboration, as exemplified by his Orange Tree video series. This new venture is a partnership with Mass Appeal and his new production company, ORANJ.
Episodes will be accessible on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple and YouTube. Mensa, who has been active in community activism and charity work, continues to use his platform to engage in important conversations. His music, most recently seen on the 2023 album Victor and a 2025 collaboration with Chance The Rapper, has also contributed to the podcast's vision.
