Dammit! In what I’m sure comes as a shock to many of us, Vic Mensa just revealed to XXL that the (incredibly talented) Chicago collective Kids These Days has official broken up.
It’s never going to be an “I hate you” type of situation. For the most part it’s a happy settlement. There were certain moves made by some people that weren’t all the way stand-up moves, but at the end of the day there isn’t really any bad blood. It’s not like I can’t be in the room with everybody in the band, and I wish everybody the best. But the band breaking up wasn’t my ultimatum, I didn’t bring that to the table, but once it was brought to the table it kind of opened up a world I’d already been living in in my own head for a while. I just see it as a great opportunity. Kids These Days was great and it was a lot of fun, but now I want to do something different. And I produce now, too.
Check the full interview here; which includes more talk of the break up, Vic’s plans for his solo career (INNANETAPE coming soon), a premiere of his new music video (which you can check here) and more.
The Windy City Band rocked the crowd during a lively performance of “Bud Billiken” from their Traphouse Rock LP which, if you haven’t copped yet (and I have no idea why you wouldn’t…), is out now.
Chance the Rapper and Kids These Days recently wrapped up their March Madness Tour and video-man Austin Vesely provides a recap of their time on the road. Do remember, the “should’ve been XXL Freshman” will be dropping his Acid Rap project on April 30th!

Back in November, Kids These Days put on for a sold-out crowd at The Vic Theatre in their hometown of Chicago. Check the clip above as the crew performs “Bud Biliken” from their Traphouse Rock LP (which made our 2dope Year End List).
Yesterday, the talented groups from the Chi and Brooklyn link up for an ode to Ms. Mary Jane. Hopefully this isn’t the first and only time they guys get together as this is quite dope..

On the latest visual from their Traphouse Rock project, the Kids from the Chi take comfort in their miniaturized lifestyle in the corner of a dark basement.
The Vic Theater played host to the Kids’ sold-out show in the Windy City, and thanks to TEHO Media (up top) and HOTC TV (down bottom) you can catch what went down. Props to FSD.
And with the 30th of October, the Chicago collective comes through as promised with their new album. Hell yes! Hit the jump for the tracklist/download link.

Any time someone reinterprets Crucial Conflict’s “Hay” that hits a spot with me. It also helps that the KTD crew are super-dope as well. Traphouse Rock drops Oct. 30.
