We’re almost at Election Day for the forthcoming 2016 Presidential Election and things are heating up. Last night (September 26) was the first debate between (our soon-to-be President) Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, getting us even more anxious for the big day.

Vevo is getting involved in the process as they’ve launched a new series deemed “Why I Vote” where they chat with various artists about what drives them to vote on Election Day. First up is Vic Mensa, who in the process speaks on the violence and police/community relations in his hometown of Chicago, and why overall, voting matters to him.

Check out his piece below and stay tuned for more episodes coming soon.
