After dropping off his latest record “Roll My Weed,” Vic Mensa returns with his latest documentary titled Down To Start A Riot, marking as the FADER’s first-ever cover story. The 12-minute clip follows the Save Money rapper through his hometown of Chicago.
This is what director Aaron Brown said about the mini-doc:
“I had the idea of trying to explore the genre of documentary, just trying to pick the pieces apart of a rapper,” Brown says of the dramatic subway station session. “I was thinking of an acapella verse as a voiceover in a documentary, that’s what it was. Just trying to freshen it up. We’ve all seen a bunch of rap videos and a bunch of documentaries, so it was asking, how can we think about them as one thing.”
