Vic Mensa and Joey Purp are a dynamic duo on the mic, and they’ve offered up a reminder of that with their new banger, “Freestyle 773.” Over a Papi Beatz instrumental that deftly samples Norman Connor‘s classic “You Are My Starship,” Mensa and Purp, who have been tag-teaming freestyles lately, set forth their latest duet, if you will.
They’ve turned up this summer as a pair, but both Mensa and Purp have had quietly stellar 2016’s. Vic ended his project hiatus with the release of There’s Alot Going On in June, a socially aware and sonically expansive update on his career, while Purp dropped iiiDrops shortly before that in May.
