<\/div>\n

Vic Mensa<\/a> has teamed up with drummer Travis Barker<\/a> to form the new pop-punk project, 93PUNX. In anticipation of their 14-track debut compilation, out August 23rd, the group has shared the single \u201cIt\u2019s a Bad Dream,\u201d featuring the band Good Charlotte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The song combines pop-punk with alternative rock and hip-hop elements, \u00e1 la Lil Uzi Vert, to address issues such as suicide and depression. 93PUNX previously released the videos for \u201cCamp America\u201d and \u201c3 Years Sober,\u201d<\/a> both starring Mensa; in June, Mensa appeared on MSNBC<\/a> to discuss the political themes of \u201cCamp America,\u201d which depicts well-off white children trapped in an ICE detainment center.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that the duty of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed,\u201d Mensa said. \u201cThis is a situation where you have a lot of people way too comfortable about atrocities that are being exacted upon children\u2026You have a whole other side of the nation that\u2019s very disturbed by this. Musically, I wanted to mirror these worlds. My father is a Ghanian immigrant, I owe my existence to immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Good Charlotte, 93PUNX\u2019s debut compilation will also feature contributions from Tom Morello, Francis and the Lights, H.R. (of the punk band Bad Brains), Loko Wit Da Mask and more. Mensa will head out on tour next month with Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
