Stream – Vic Mensa – Blue Eyes

Vic Mensa’s latest single “Blue Eyes” tackles the topic of skin color and self-love. In the song, the Chicago rapper reflects on his own experiences growing up as someone who is both half-black and half-white. He opens up about the challenges he faced and the internal struggle he went through, including wishing he was white and dealing with feelings of being different. The lyrics touch on issues like being labeled as “retarded” in kindergarten and the impact of systemic racism.

The song’s title “Blue Eyes” likely references the contrast between the artist’s own appearance and the societal perception of blue-eyed individuals as a representation of traditional beauty standards. Through this song, Vic Mensa sheds light on the complexity of identity and self-acceptance in the face of societal pressures.

“Blue Eyes” is a part of Vic Mensa’s upcoming sophomore album “Victor,” which is set to be released on September 15. The song follows his previously released track “Eastside Girl” featuring Ty Dolla $ign.
