Vic Mensa Taps Pharrell, Weezer, & Pusha T for 'The Autobiography'

Before dropping his debut album The Autobiography on July 28, Vic Mensa is rolling out the star-studded tracklisting.

The Autobiography As Told By Vic Mensa: Based on a True Story features a diverse cast of collaborators, including Pharrell, Weezer, Syd, The-Dream, Pusha T, Chief Keef, Joey Purp, Saul Williams, and Ty Dolla $ign over the course of 15 tracks.

“OMG,” which also appeared on last month’s The Manuscript “capsule,” is the album’s closer. A video for the track featuring King Push dropped last month as well.

“This music is the best work of my life,” tweeted Mensa. “The most honest, real and alive. i got more than love for everyone coming on this journey with me.”

The cover art, also revealed today, finds a barefoot Vic sitting on a living room floor with crumpled balls of paper around him. There are also symbols of influence nearby, including Nirvana’s Nevermind and The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley, which likely influenced the LP’s title.

Last year, Vic dropped his seven-track EP There’s Alot Going On. Shortly afterwards, he spoke with Rap-Up about his long-awaited debut, teasing some of its high-profile collaborations. “I’ve got a record with The-Dream that’s crazy,” he said. “Rivers Cuomo from Weezer. It’s off-the-wall and unexpected collabs. There’s Mike Dean production. Me production. A lot of me production.”
