Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day or, as Seth Meyers describes it, “a day full of Republican politicians who support voter suppression efforts and have spent months fanning a crazed right-wing panic over so-called ‘critical race theory’ deceptively quoting Dr. King out of context.” Among those guilty of this clueless, casual racism is newly elected Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin, who Meyers reminded viewers “signed an executive order banning the teaching of critical race theory on his first day in office and then went on Fox News and quoted Dr. King.”
Of course, the quote Youngkin referred to was King’s famous line that “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” Meyers couldn’t help but note that this is possibly “the only MLK line Republicans have ever read,” and as such, regularly take it out of context. But Meyers seemed even more annoyed by Florida senator Marco Rubio who, like so many of his fellow Republicans, “can’t be bothered to read any further than the exact quote they’re looking for.”
Case in point: Rubio, who on Monday tweeted what Meyers described as a “deceptively quoted line from Dr. King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, without any additional context:
“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”
“Did you read any further than that, or did you just pull up the text in the speech and do a Control+F for ‘Things that make it sound like he agrees with me,’” Meyers wanted to know. “‘Cause, dude, you’ve got to read at least like two more lines.” Of course, had Rubio kept quoting, he would have understood why context matters, as King went on to say:
“This note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.”
Meyers spoke for many of his fed-up audiences members when he said “It’s times like these where you really wish that Rubio would just go back to his old job as the picture that comes with the frame.”
There are a lot of great bourbons out there, with more hitting shelves every season. By the very law of averages, we also have to admit that there are a fair few subpar and even shitty bourbons too. The natural response to this variance is to assume “the more it costs, the better it must taste” — but that’s patently untrue. Bourbon, mostly, is local and made from a grain that the U.S. government pays farmers to grow. That means that even at the height of this bourbon boom, you can still get very high-quality juice for an affordable price.
It should come as no surprise to any afficanado that there are delicious bourbons to be had for between $10 and $20 right now. Costs are held down by big companies knowing what they’re doing thanks to generations of development and refinement. Will it have spent tons of time in the barrel? Probably not. But it can certainly share a mashbill with more nuanced, longer-aged expressions.
The ten bottles of cheap bourbon whiskey below are expressions we find to be exceptional at this price point for 2022. Some of these work on the rocks or even as everyday sippers, some of them are better as cocktail bases — all of them taste good and all of them clock in at under $20.*
*Price will vary depending on your state’s taxes — these prices are from Total Wine’s online shop in Louisville, Kentucky.
Luxco’s Ezra Brooks is a throwback to the Mad Men days of bourbon. The juice is a standard rye-infused bourbon without an age statement. It’s made as a workhorse whiskey that’s easy to find and cheap when you do find it.
Tasting Notes:
Classic yet mild notes of caramel corn, vanilla, and oaky spice lead the way. There’s a continued sense of those notes on the palate, with a hint of dark chocolate and spice when a little water is introduced. The end is short, caramel sweet, and has hints of kettle corn with a watery vibe that mutes the finish.
Bottom Line:
This is a good place to start any cheap bourbon journey. This feels classic without any obtrusive notes. It’s a little watery on the backend for me, but that does make it a great candidate for shots with a beer back if you’re looking to let loose a little.
The bourbon in this bottle is a standard “small batch” though there’s not a whole lot of information on what that entails, exactly. What we do know is that the juice comes from Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill #1, which is the same base as Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor, Stagg, and Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a truly basic bourbon vibe on the nose and throughout the palate. Vanilla extract, slightly wet oak, and that raw Buffalo Trace leather dominate the nose, it’s almost exactly like the one on Buffalo Trace Bourbon. The taste pretty much stays in that arena with caramel apples and floral honey popping up next to a slight metallic note and soft mineral water mouthfeel. The end is short and sweet and leads you back to that leather, oak, and vanilla primarily.
Bottom Line:
Since Buffalo Trace Bourbon is becoming more and more allocated across the country, this is a great fill-in for that bottle. It’s not as refined but it’s very close. Plus, it’s about $10 cheaper per bottle, which isn’t too bad. That said, this (like BT Bourbon) is a great mixer and only a sipper if you have a glass full of rocks and your shelf is empty.
This bourbon is Beam’s signature low-rye mash bill. It’s aged for four years before the barrels are blended and it’s cut down to 80 proof. This is a lot of folks’ entry point into the wider world of bourbon because it’s a quaffable whiskey that’s very affordable and on pretty much every liquor store shelf right at eye level.
Tasting Notes:
You can sense the corn next to classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, and orchard fruit with a hint of cherry wood. The sip centers the vanilla and caramel as a distant echo of oak arrives on the tongue that leads back to that cherry vibe but now it’s almost cherry candy. The sip warms with a bit of spice next to a sweetened caramel corn edge alongside more cherry candy on a short and sweet finish.
Bottom Line:
There’s no getting around Jim Beam being one the most solid budget bourbons in the world. It’s reliable, easy-drinking, and actually has some depth to it. What’s wild is there isn’t a watery note even though this is cut down to 80 proof. It’s light, sure, but still stands up as a full-bodied whiskey.
This whiskey is made from Beam’s other mash bill, which is high rye and also the base of Basil Hayden’s. From there, the whiskey rests for a few years in Beam’s expansive rickhouses before it’s vatted, proofed down with that soft Kentucky limestone water, and bottled.
Tasting Notes:
This is very even-keeled between the nose and palate. You’re drawn in with notes of cream soda and maybe even Vanilla Coke next to a touch of Beam cherry and oak. That cherry leans into spicy cherry tobacco territory with a light chewiness next to notes of cinnamon, clove, and maybe a touch of black pepper. The end is short, hot, and leaves you with a cherry-vanilla-pepper sensation.
Bottom Line:
This is another bottle that somehow hides all that water needed to proof it down beneath some very bold whiskey. While this is the perfect shot and beer pick, it also works pretty damn well in a highball since the bigger flavor notes will hold their own against the water (or ginger ale) and ice.
This was an old-school “bottled in bond” from the Barton Distillery in Bardstown but they dropped the b-i-b designation. The juice in the bottle used to be at least six years old but today it’s at least four. All of that sounds like deterrents from this bottle but it’s still 100 proof and there are still barrels up to six years old in the mix, meaning this still works well at this price point.
Tasting Notes:
This comes in big on the nose with a deep buttery caramel sauce next to blueberry pie, wet oak, and peppery peppermint tobacco. The taste carries over the pie and adds a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dusting of almost sweet cinnamon, and more of that oak as a soft leather note dips in and out with a hint of vanilla tobacco. The end is pretty abrupt but marries the cinnamon to the mint to create a spicy menthol tobacco finish that’s fairly dry (though short).
Bottom Line:
This bourbon has no business being this complex for this price. Part of that is due to the higher ABV — which is similar with the rest of the list from here on out. Pour this over a rock or two and it’s a good drink. It makes a mean cocktail, too.
This is a quality whiskey from Heaven Hill’s expansive bourbon mash bill (78 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley, and ten percent rye). That means this is the same base juice as Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, several Parker’s Heritages, and Henry McKenna. It’s a bottled-in-bond, meaning it’s from similar stocks to their iconic Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond and another one further down on this list.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a clear caramel, cream soda, and floral honey sweetness that draws you in on the nose next to a touch of dry leather. Dark spice lingers in the background with a bit more of that vanilla-forward cream soda sweetness on the palate with a mild sense of Graham Crackers and honey tobacco. The end has a touch more of that spice, followed by a moment of oak buried under the creamy vanilla, honey, and leather.
Bottom Line:
This is another whiskey that really shines once you pour it over ice. The water helps this open up a bit and release a bolder flavor profile. That higher ABV also means you can make a killer cocktail with this without breaking the bank, which is great if you’re just starting to refine those skills.
Guess what? This is the same mash bill from Heaven Hill as the bottle above. The difference is that the barrels chosen for this brand follow a different flavor profile than the ones for the bottles above and below this entry.
Tasting Notes:
The nose on this one is pure banana bread brimming with buttery cake, walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a touch of honey. The palate leans into the wood with a No. 2 pencil vibe that leads towards dry vanilla husks and a touch of salted caramel-covered peanuts. The back end of the sip stays sweet and nutty as wintry spices cut with orange oils drive a slowish finish.
Bottom Line:
This is a pretty distinct whiskey and shows how vastly different barrels can be, even when they sit right next to each other in a warehouse. All of that aside, The nuttiness, salty sweetness, and spice really help this stand out that little bit more, especially in a Manhattan or old fashioned.
Look, Heaven Hill makes great whiskey, especially inexpensive bottled in bonds. This b-i-b is tailored for the Evan Williams flavor profile with a softer touch than Dant or Brown above, even though we’re talking about the same mash bill, same warehouses, and same parent company.
Tasting Notes:
This opens with a dry cornmeal base next to salted caramel, rich vanilla, and a touch of sweet fruit orchard wood. The palate adds in whiffs of black pepper next to musty cellar wood and a hint of spicy chewy tobacco that has a hint of cherry buried in there somewhere. The end is short-ish while highlighting the sweet cornmeal, spicy/fruity tobacco, and rich vanilla that creates a soft mouthfeel on the finish.
Bottom Line:
This is a quintessential “everyday bourbon” that should be on every bar cart, specifically if you’re looking for something to mix solid cocktails with. I also really like this on the rocks. It’s easy, affordable, and tastes damn fine for a $16 bottle of whiskey.
The juice is a tribute to what Jim Beam was — both in the label and in the bottle — before Prohibition. Yes, Jim Beam used to be known as Old Tub Bourbon worldwide. The bourbon is standard Beam that hits an old-school flavor profile. The whiskey is bottled-in-bond at 100 proof and goes through no filtration before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a subtle roughness to this whiskey that draws you in — rough-milled dry corn, raw honey, freshly sawed wood, soft cherry, and vanilla pods. The caramel popcorn sweetness is there but not overdone as the vanilla, woody oak, and very distant spice and cherry come together to create an all-around easy-sipper by the end. As that end lingers, you get a final note of orange citrus that’s counterpointed by a lingering sense of limestone.
Bottom Line:
This is a great bottle at a great price. It’s slightly familiar if you’re into Jim Beam, but that little bit more nuanced. It’s also the perfect mixing bourbon if you’re looking to make some whiskey-forward cocktails.
A lot of Wild Turkey’s character comes from the hard and deep char they use on their oak barrels. 101 starts with a high-rye mash bill that leans into the wood and aging, having spent six years in the cask. A little of that soft Kentucky limestone water is added to cool it down a bit before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a sweetness that feels like buttery toffee and creamy vanilla with a note of citrus next to charred oak. The taste delivers on those notes and adds more vanilla pudding, peppery rye spice, butterscotch, and a hint of fresh and sweet tobacco leaves. The end is bold and long with the spice, oak, and sweetness lingering on the senses while giving you a warming “Kentucky hug.”
Bottom Line:
There’s just something about this bottle that rings true. It’s not the most mind-blowing bourbon ever (and it’s not meant to be) but it can stand up to bourbons twice and even three times the price. In fact, this is better than some of those bourbons. That’s truly exceptional.
After dropping the first Moon Knight trailer on Monday night, Marvel not only gave fans a glimpse at Oscar Isaac‘s haunted hero, but also at Ethan Hawke‘s villainous character, who is a pretty obscure pull from the comics. As details about the upcoming Disney+ series trickled out, fans had theorized that Hawke would be the Sun King or possibly even Dracula, which would tie him into Mahershala Ali’s Blade movie that was teed up in the post-credits scene for Eternals. Instead, the Moon Knight trailer revealed that Hawke will be playing Dr. Arthur Harrow.
First introduced during a revamp of the Moon Knight comics in the ’80s, Harrow is a brilliant scientist who won the Nobel Prize for his work in the “field of pain theory,” according to the Marvel Database. However, his work was revealed to have ties to Auschwitz, which put him in the crosshairs of the Nuremberg tribunal, which definitely did not want a Nazi scientist running around carrying out pain experiments from the Holocaust. After being alerted of Harrow’s presence by the Priests of Khonshu, Moon Knight began tracking down the villainous doctor.
Harrow was also using his research to build a horde of zombie-like followers, which we may have caught a glimpse of in the Moon Knight trailer as Hawke is seen being worshipped like a cult leader. In fact, over the summer, Hawke told Seth Meyers that David Koresh was an inspiration for his character, so it’ll be interesting to see what the MCU does with this live-action version of the obscure villain.
Marvel’s Moon Knight starts streaming March 30 on Disney+.
Irish rock legends U2 have released 14 albums now, most of which have topped the charts around the world and yielded popular singles. That said, many thinkpieces (like this one, this one, and this one) have been devoted to exploring why the band is so polarizing or even hated. Heck, there are even key elements of the band that Bono himself isn’t in love with, like his own singing and the name “U2.”
In a recent interview on the Awards Chatter podcast (as The Times notes), Bono said that most of his recorded vocal performances on U2 songs make him cringe:
“The one that I can listen to the most is ‘Miss Sarajevo’ with Luciano Pavarotti [from Original Soundtracks 1, a 1995 album by U2 and Brian Eno’s side project Passengers]. Genuine, most of the other ones make me cringe a little bit. Although ‘Vertigo’ probably is the one I’m proudest of. It’s the way it connects with the crowd. I’ve been in the car when one of our songs has come on the radio and I’ve been the color of, as we say in Dublin, scarlet. I’m just so embarrassed.”
He added, “I do think U2 pushes out the boat on embarrassment quite a lot and maybe that’s the place to be as an artist, you know, right at the edge of your level of embarrassment. And the lyrics as well, I feel that on Boy and other albums, it was sketched out very unique and original material, but I don’t think I filled in the details, and I look back and I go, ‘God,’”
As for the name “U2,” Bono said, “I still don’t [like it]. I really don’t. But I was late into some kind of dyslexia. I didn’t realize that The Beatles was a bad pun either. In our head it was like the spy plane, U-boat, it was futuristic — as it turned out to imply this kind of acquiescence, no I don’t like that name. I still don’t really like the name. Paul McGuinness, our first manager, did say, ‘Look, it’s a great name, it’s going to look good on a T-shirt, a letter and a number.’”
For the record, this isn’t the first time Bono has said he not big on “U2” as a band name. In 2002, for example, Larry King asked how the group band came up with the name and Bono said in reply, “Oh, I don’t like the name, U2, actually.”
Fox News host (and enemy of Big Bird) Laura Ingraham, who privately freaked out over Jan. 6 but publicly downplayed it, gave Tucker Carlson a run for his controversial money on Monday night while reporting on Covid-19. Specifically, Ingraham discussed the Omicron variant, which is spreading faster than wildfire and evading vaccines as well. Well, the vaccinated aren’t feeling the virus hit too severely (for the most part), but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a novel virus (for which we don’t know the long-term effects) and something that no one should be happy about anyone else catching.
Ingraham (whose own brother recently described as “bonkers”) didn’t even bother to hide her excitement to hear that one of her self-declared enemies, the vaxxed and boosted Gen. Mark Milley, had tested positive for the virus. Ingraham previously declared that the military should be defunded in response to hearing Milley say that he wants to understand “white rage,” and she actually clapped about this Covid news.
“The triple vaxxed Joint Chief[s] chairman Mark Milley (our favorite, Mark Milley!) tested positive for Covid yesterday,” Ingraham merrily announced during her new “Positively Boosted” segment.
Ingraham was accompanied by Raymond Arroyo, with whom she recently shared a very awkward “scripted” bit about the Netflix show You. She was also apparently thrilled that General David Berger caught the virus while boosted. Via Mediaite, Ingraham then led into a promise to discuss “vaxx weirdos.”
Fortunately, CNN reports that Milley (who Trump appointed) is experiencing mild symptoms and is working from home during quarantine. Regardless, people on social media aren’t thrilled to see Ingraham’s “inexcusable” and “repugnant” happiness over his diagnosis.
I wonder how many families owe their bereavement to Fox News ….
The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz on Monday night, 101-95, in a game that the team really needed to win. It came on the heels of a blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets to drop their record to below .500 more than halfway through the NBA season, which led to Magic Johnson openly criticizing them. Despite the return of Rudy Gobert and the continued absence of Anthony Davis, though, L.A. was able to come out on top.
No one is happier about the win than Frank Vogel, because according to a report by Sam Amick and Bill Oram of The Athletic, a loss would have meant that the Lakers’ coach would be out of a job. But despite picking up a win, Vogel isn’t out of the woods quite yet.
Vogel, who coached the Lakers to a championship in 2020 and whose contract runs through the 2022-23 campaign, is being evaluated on a game-to-game basis and remains at risk of being fired soon if the progress doesn’t continue, sources said. It’s unclear how much Monday’s win relieved the pressure that surrounds him.
It’s a very difficult hand for Vogel to be dealt a mere 15 months after winning a championship inside the NBA’s Orlando Bubble. Despite the fact that he hasn’t been perfect as a coach this season, L.A. has been bit by the injury and COVID bugs this season and had an almost totally overhauled roster around James and Davis coming into this season, which included the addition of Russell Westbrook in a trade.
Still, with the loft standards held by the Lakers, the team just has not been good enough this season, and Vogel appears most likely to take the fall for it. L.A. sits in seventh place in the Western Conference at 22-22, one full game behind Denver for the sixth seed. The team is 18th in defensive rating, 23rd in net rating, and 24th in offensive rating on the year. On Sundaygre, James tweeted out an apology and promised that they will “be better.”
QAnon conspiracy theorists are putting an awful lot of faith in a man who has been dead for nearly 25 years. And yes, we mean actually dead—not just dead behind the eyes. In the past several months, they’ve concocted all sorts of elaborate theories relating to the imminent return of John F. Kennedy Jr., the latest being that JFK Jr. will be making his presence known ahead of the 2024 presidential election, where he’ll serve as Donald Trump’s running mate.
Reporting from the ground in Florence, Arizona, where Trump held his first rally of 2022 on Saturday, Politico shared the wild musings of a mega MAGA man named Ray Kallatsa, who admitted that while he’d be ok with seeing Mike Pence return as Trump’s running mate in 2024, he’d also be cool with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—but who he’d really like to see is JFK Jr.
“I don’t want to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist, Kallasta said, “but he’s coming back. “He’s supposed to reveal himself on the 17th if he’s truly alive. I think we’ll see him.”
Props to Kallasta for totally succeeding in not sounding “too much like a conspiracy theorist” by noting that the man formerly known as John-John would only be showing up “if he’s truly alive.”
“I don’t want to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist, but JFK Jr is coming back.”
“He’s supposed to reveal himself on the 17th if he’s truly alive. I think we’ll see him.” https://t.co/R72Kcqqdmz
“If Kallatsa was worried about sounding too conspiratorial, he shouldn’t have been. He was not alone among the crowd in believing that JFK Jr. is not only still alive but is also a secret Trump supporter embedded far in the ‘deep state.’ One attendee was spotted wearing a red shirt with the faces of Trump, Kennedy and Kennedy Jr. in the crowd. Michael Protzman, the QAnon influencer who organized the event last year in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza where he and others also believed John F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. would reappear from the dead, was spotted in the rally stands.”
When Trump himself took to the stage that night, he clearly knew his audience. As Politico reports, Trump seemed to energize the crowd by teasing the conspiracy theory that the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on January 6th were in some way working with the FBI.
“Exactly how many of those present at the Capitol complex on January 6 were FBI confidential informants, agents, or otherwise working directly or indirectly with an agency of the United States government?,” Trump wanted to know. “People want to hear this.”
Trump, of course, has been aided and abetted in these already disproven claims by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, who have called the deadly Capitol riots as “false flag operation.”
While we prefer to never say never, a Trump-Kennedy ticket seems about as likely as a Santos/McGarry run for the highest office in the land.
Daniel Radcliffe made enough money from the Harry Potter movies that he could decide to not work for the rest of his life. Instead, he chooses to star in offbeat passion projects, and for that (and other reasons), we love him. Frankenstein’s assistant Igor? Yup. A farting corpse? Been there. A criminal mastermind in Now You See Me 2, the sequel to magician heist movie Now You See Me that I’m still annoyed wasn’t called Now You Don’t? Of course. For his next “sure, why not, I’m in” role, he’ll pick up an accordion.
Deadline reports that Radcliffe will play musician (and Uproxx‘s Person of the Year recipient) “Weird Al” Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, a “Roku Original biopic from Funny or Die and Tango that will be available for streaming exclusively on The Roku Channel.” It was written by Eric Appel and Yankovic, who said in a statement, “I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.”
The Yankovic biopic promises to hold nothing back and explore every facet of his life, from his childhood through his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon,” while touching on his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.
“Weird Al” released his first album in 1983, and while he could have been quickly dismissed as a novelty act, he’s arguably as popular now as he’s ever been (his last album, 2014’s Mandatory Fun, was his first to debut at number one on the Billboard 200). As someone who grew up playing Bad Hair Day and Running with Scissors and watching UHF and The Weird Al Show on repeat, I can’t wait for the tongue-in-cheek biopic — as long as there’s a full 11 minutes dedicated to his best song, “Albuquerque.”
Amy Schneider’s winning run on Jeopardy! continues (after she passed the million-dollar mark) with a 34th straight victory, all after she blew past James Holzhauer on Friday by taking the #3 spot in consecutive wins. She marked the moment by declaring of “great player” James that “I always felt like he could have won more games playing slightly more conservatively, so I guess I’ve proven that.”
She’s a class act for sure, and that presented an interesting response to something that ran through my mind and (undoubtedly) many others who’ve been witnessing Amy’s Jeopardy! domination. The Los Angeles Times came right out and asked Amy if she’d be interested in hosting the show when (if?) she ever loses. Surely, she can’t win this thing forever, but would the engineering manager from Dayton, Ohio want a permanent gig with the long-running game show? Here’s Amy’s take on the subject:
Though she fully supports [Ken] Jennings as a “fantastic” host of the show, Schneider says she’d be open to any potential offers from Sony.
“It would certainly be a cool experience,”: she says. “It’s a lot harder than it looks. Whether I’d actually even be good at it, I don’t know … But yeah, I‘d certainly consider it if somebody asked.”
In the meantime, Amy’s surely focused on staring down Ken Jennings’ 74-game streak, in which he pulled in $2,520,700 in winnings. Maybe after that, the talk about her at least doing a guest-host stint can really commence. For the rest of the season, however, the hosting duties fall to Jennings and Mayim Bialik.
Amy will once again defend her champ status on Friday night.
Vic Mensa was in Ghana recently, but upon his return to the US over the weekend, the Chicago rapper was arrested on felony narcotics charges at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington DC.
A report from the US Customs and Border Protection website about the January 15 arrest notes, “During a secondary baggage examination, CBP officers discovered about 41 grams of liquid Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), about 124 grams of Psilocybin capsules, 178 grams of Psilocybin gummies, and six grams of Psilocybin mushrooms” in Mensa’s luggage. Mensa was then arrested by Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority officers and given felony narcotics possession charges. Mensa and the narcotics were taken into police custody.
Consequence reports Mensa was transferred to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. TMZ also reports that authorities are testing the substances to confirm what they are. They also note that Mensa was returning to the US after spending time in Ghana with Chance The Rapper and the country’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo. This was part of a multi-week stint in Africa to promote tourism.
Meanwhile, 2021 saw Mensa release some new music. In November, he paid homage to the late Virgil Abloh with “What You Taught Us.” He also dropped a collaboration in both of the preceding months, linking up with Lauren Jauregui for “Scattered” in October and with BJ The Chicago Kid for “The Taste” in September.
