Vic Mensa has shared the deep, dark and, therefore, Kanye West-approved video for "There's a Lot Going On," the introspective standout of his brand-new EP of the same name.

In the decidedly simple clip, the Chicago rapper stands in front of a white screen, seeming physically tortured as he cathartically spits out his story of mental illness, addiction and abuse. It ends with a shooter shooting 16 bullets around his body — a nod to "16 Shots," a song about police brutality also on There's a Lot Going On.

Mensa released There's a Lot Going On on Friday. He gave fans the option to download the album for free if they take a pledge to vote. That offer will be available until July 4 at Respect My Vote.
