vic mensa, Thundercatand R&B singer Maeta team up for a new song titled “Strawberry Louis Vuitton.” Virgil Abloh, the late designer and former menswear director of Louis Vuitton, greatly influenced the accompanying video, according to one Vic Mensa. Check out “Strawberry Louis Vuitton” below.

In the music video, the Chicago rapper skydives for fun in a suit designed by Virgil Abloh, who died in 2021. Vic Mensa shared a statement about Abloh’s influence on “Strawberry Louis Vuitton”:

I did “Strawberry Louis Vuitton” while watching one of Virgil’s last LV films; the companion of Saul Williams. When I heard the sample it just spoke to me, so I cut it, made the beat, and wrote the song on the spot. This is 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 felt like he gave this song to me; the gift that keeps on giving, somehow.
