Vic Mensa announces new EP with lead track "Dark Things"

"Dark Things" was debuted today as Zane Lowe's World Record on his Apple Music Beats 1 show.

The track arrives with haunting new visuals directed by Bobby Hanaford, and is the second offering to be revealed from his Hooligans EP, after his G-Eazy collaboration "Reverse" that landed back in June.

As well as "Reverse", Vic Mensa's Hooligans EP will feature collaborations with Ty Dolla Sign, Mr Hudson, Charlie Wilson, G Herbo, and Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood.

Hooligans will be Mensa's first multi-track project since 2017's The Autobiography album and The Manuscript EP.

In a statement, Vic Mensa explained his EP further, "Growing up we referred to ourselves as the Hyde Park Hooligans, so with the EP I wanted to encapsulate energies that represented that experience as well as what’s going on in my life now, for better or for worse.”
