A lot has been happening for the 22-year-old Chicago emcee as of late. For starters Vic Mensa performed with Kanye West on Saturday Night Live, delivering a hook on 'Ye's forthcoming "Wolves" track (set to appear on So Help Me God) followed by some turned up live performances with the man. The live performances were for a track entitled "U Mad,"which recently got released as a single. In addition, Mensa also signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation recording label. That's huge. So, yeah, evidently Mensa is doing quite well for himself on the mainstream end right now. Mensa also stopped by to team up with LA Leakers for an exclusive freestyle over Future's anthemic Monster cut "Commas." Check it out after the jump!
