Vic Mensa Unleashes Official Visual for “16 Shots”
Last night, Vic Mensa unleashed the visual to his There’s Alot Going On EP-cut, "16 Shots."
With October 22nd marking the death anniversary of Laquan McDonald, who was killed at the hands of law enforcement, the Roc Nation rapper decided to drop a politically-charged cinematic clip which shows officers being stopped and frisked by Mensa as their hands lay on the hood of a squad car.
Vic Mensa explained the record to RapUP back in August:
"16 Shots specifically was inspired by my time in the streets of Chicago after the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police officer, Jason Van Dyke," he explained. "I’ve been getting harassed and fucked with by police since I was 11 or 12 years old. … So ’16 Shots’ is a record I’ve been wanting to make for years."
Be sure to watch the visual which premiered by Tidal above.
