New Music: Vic Mensa – 'Metaphysical'

Vic Mensa may be beefing with Tekashi 6ix9ine but he’s also making sure new music is dropping for the fans.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Their issues stems from the time when 6ix9ine posted a video on Instagram where he boasted about feeding homeless people in Chicago. “We’re in f*cking Chicago, you know what I’m saying, we’re going to feed the homeless or whatever.” That clip did not sit well with Vic who believed that the New York rapper regularly disrespected Chicago while constantly jacking flows from the city’s rappers.

But Vic is moving on past the beef and dropping new music. After previewing his new single ‘Metaphysical’ yesterday, the full song has now been released. The Chicago rapper goes the Dancehall route and sings almost throughout the song with help from auto-tune, which is a big change from his past stuff. Listen to/preview the new track below (currently only out in select international markets). Yesterday, he dropped a freestyle over Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell’s song ‘Neon Guts’.
