Alexander Fleming, known professionally as Black Atlass, first gained attention in 2013 with his debut single 'Paris,' showcasing his versatility by pairing an acoustic piano version with the original electronic mix. This duality hinted at the boundary-pushing artistry that would define his career. In 2015, he appeared on Action Bronson's critically acclaimed Mr. Wonderful, further cementing his place in the industry.
Fleming’s career took a major turn in 2018 when he signed with The Weeknd’s XO Records. That year, he collaborated with Jessie Reyez on the haunting 'Sacrifice' for the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, which quickly amassed millions of streams. He also released his debut album Pain & Pleasure, earning critical acclaim and a Juno nomination.
In 2020, Black Atlass released Dream Awake, solidifying his genre-defying reputation. In 2022, he released Infinite, his most ambitious work to date, under his own label, continuing to blend genres and defy expectations in modern music.

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE. In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.
