Noisey Chiraq — Season 1, Episode 5: Vic Mensa & SAVEMONEY Bust Joey Purp Outta Jail
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 8 episodes
Episode synopsis
In the fifth episode of Chiraq, we step outside of drill music and catch up with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa and the rest of his SAVEMONEY crew. They spend the day gathering cash to bail fellow rapper Joey Purp out of jail, and on the way we chat about the city's scene. Vic doesn't associate himself with the Chiraq lifestyle because he feels it's too negative, but understands the struggles of those who come from that part of the city. He's also, surprisingly, a really big fan of Rage Against the Machine.
