STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON

Vic Mensa

<p><a href="/profile/vic-mensa" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Vic Mensa</a> just dropped &#8220;STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON,&#8221; a wondrous new single featuring <a href="/profile/thundercat" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Thundercat</a> and Maeta. While the last we heard from the Chicago artist was his<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/618702-chance-the-rapper-vic-mensas-black-star-line-festival-reaches-50k-attendees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Black Star Line Festival in Ghana</a> with Chance the Rapper, he&#8217;s still grinding that music. Moreover, this new track sees Vic in a new sonic direction, integrating lush instrumentation and beautiful harmonies.</p>

<p>Furthermore, this new song will likely land on Mensa&#8217;s upcoming album, which he said <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/443497-vic-mensa-confirms-his-second-album-is-complete" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">is already done</a>. Still, fans knew the 29-year-old to be a versatile artist from the jump. Moreover, he&#8217;s dabbled with hip-hop, electronic music, punk, and a few other similar genres. As such, &#8220;STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON&#8221; might not even be the main sonic pallet on his next project.</p>

<p>However, with a lot of guitar promo on his social media right now, it&#8217;s not a bad guess, either. Overall, this song features a bright and layered soundscape for the artists to explore, with deep bass, steady percussion, and vocal harmonies galore. Also, contributing guests Thundercat and Maeta provide some amazing vocal contrasts to Vic&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/413873-vic-mensa-celebrates-birthday-in-colombia-playfully-rap-battles-with-kids-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphatic rap flows</a> and smooth vocal lines. </p>



<p>All artists soar over this production, and it makes for a soothing and remarkably chilled-out song. Given this trippy direction for the &#8220;Liquor Locker&#8221; artist, his most recent community effort makes sense. Moreover, he <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/430625-vic-mensa-donates-s10k-in-gas-and-pre-rolled-joints-for-chicago-residents-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">donated</a> about $10,000 in gas (no, not that gas) and pre-rolled joints (yes, <em>that</em> gas) to Chicago residents.</p>
