Hey! Vic Mensa has teamed up with Thundercat and singer Maeta on a new track called ‘Strawberry Louis Vuitton’, which is good news isn’t it? We like them. Not so much Louis Vuitton, but that’s not through any moral stance – rather – we haven’t ever been able to afford it so it doesn’t mean a whole lot to us.
The video for the track is in part, a tribute to the late Virgil Abloh who, again, we know next to nothing about. We’ll let Vic Mensa who does know about this thing, talk instead.
“I made “Strawberry Louis Vuitton” while watching one of Virgil’s last LV films; the one with Saul Williams. When I heard the sample it just spoke to me, so I chopped it, made the beat, and wrote the song on the spot. It was really a freestyle. I always imagined Thundercat doing the bridge.… We recorded it when he was on tour and I was doing my art show in Chicago. When Virgil passed away I kind of felt like he had given this song to me; the gift that keeps on giving, in a way.”
There you go. Have a look and a listen.
