Vic Mensa performed a surprise show at Chicago's Wicker Park this weekend, during which he performed a verson of Kanye West's Wolves.

As Billboard reports, Mensa performed at Chop Shop in Chicago to a crowd of just 300 backed by a two person band. During his set he performed tracks including his breakout single 'Down On My Luck' as well as his sublime Kaytranada collaboration 'Drive Me Crazy', as well as a somewhat unexpected rendition of Wyclef Jean's 'Gone Till November'.

However  the best reactions on the night went down to his performance of West's 'Wolves', a track Mensa described as 'the first track off Kanye West's new album". As well as debuting his brand new 'You Mad Huh', he then finished with a version of West's All Day with his collective SaveMoney collective.

Ahead of his performances both at Wild Life in Brighton and Parklife Weekender in Manchester, Vic Mensa is set to play Brixton Academy this Friday (20 March) supporting Kaytranada. For tickets see below.
