EARLY PRAISE FOR THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY:
"When history ranks 2017 among hip-hop's wonder years...Vic Mensa's long-awaited full-length debut will be a big part of the reason why...equal parts confessional and confrontational, gut-wrenching and uplifting. Steeped in a personal story arc that envelopes Mensa's hometown, it echoes with the pain of a generation." - NPR

"'The Autobiography' tells stories that are dark and sometimes confusing, fragments about loss, drugs and everyday struggle. But its focus, Mensa's ability to turn these experiences into a long and complex arc, also suggests a feeling as if he's sharing a secret that's been caught inside him. He describes the album as a process of rediscovery." ROLLING STONE

"It's a deeply sincere album, an album thoughtful and genuine...the album is sharp and layered and complex in some of the same ways...Mensa really does have stories to tell, and the urgency in the way he tells them helps make The Autobiography into something special." STEREOGUM (Album Of The Week)

"the debut album from this buzzy Chicago MC bursts with soulful classicism and witty, heartfelt verses." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"razor-like verses that are part confessional, biting, encouraging and witty." - VIBE
