We talk with rapper Vic Mensa, whose sophomore album, Victor, just came out. We discuss his activism and entrepreneurial ventures as well as the life changes he made after a bad car accident.

We kick things off by talking with Rolling Stone’s Althea Legaspi about her recent article on the challenges female music journalists face.
