Vic Mensa • "Married To The King Freestyle"

See this content in the original post

Vic Mensa isn't prone to be around Twitter too much these days, but he never strays too far from a recording studio. Consequently, as we continue to wait on his highly anticipated album Traffic, Vic hit the booth late last night and got off his chest a few things he deemed addressing in the short-but-fiery "Married To The King." To be clear, this song is labeled as a one-off freestyle. However, the SaveMoney member still approached the Deputy-produced instrumental with the same intensity fans experience when he's on stage and passion we've come to expect from his releases.

Citing his constant touring, persistent ambition and long-term relationship with his girlfriend, music, and money, my only beef here is the filler line "If the lady is a tramp, let her suck the noodle." It doesn't quite fit with the whole verse (except for a slight connection to the previous rhyme) or main themes and would've been better off without it. At this point, I'm just nitpicking a track that isn't meant to be examined in such a rigorous manner so I digress. It's nice to have an update on Vic's current standing and see that he is still producing solid material effortlessly.
