Vic Mensa sits down with Grammy-Award winning rapper, activist and entrepreneur Killer Mike inside Chairman Fred Hampton's childhood home, the Hampton House. They get into the Black Panther Party's legacy, Cuba and Haiti, growing up with police in the family, Cop City, and the "move like a capitalist" line that turned Mike into a meme. Mike breaks down what "by any means necessary" means to him, from his great-grandparents' farm in Tuskegee to his relationship with Governor Brian Kemp, and lays out a plan to fund the movement one small donation at a time, starting with the Hampton House.
