## Summary

Vic Mensa says Apple’s Voice Memos app is his most indispensable tool, helping him capture ideas before they disappear. He uses it to record song and essay ideas, thoughts that come to him late at night, and small moments with his son.

The rapper, actor and podcast host says Instagram has helped him connect with people and led towards his own show, though he calls the platform a circus. He is excited about an upcoming album that marks the first time he has taken himself fully seriously as a producer, and says he tries to spend on things that last or create meaningful memories.
