Vic Mensa – “heathens freestyle.”
“Heathens,” Twenty One Pilots’ contribution to the Suicide Squad soundtrack, has been pretty much inescapable on pop radio for the past few months. Among the many who have appreciated it — or been subjected to it, depending on whom you ask — is Vic Mensa, who’s just released a new freestyle over the song’s menacing beat. Mensa takes things from pretend-scary to real-life scary, talking about the very real violence he’s encountered on Chicago’s South Side (and making a Twenty One Pilots joke while he’s at it). Listen and appreciate Mensa’s Joker-aping cover art below.
