Vic Mensa has just released the thought-provoking video for the single “Shelter” featuring Wyclef Jean and Chance the Rapper.
The single is a socially conscious song that touches on many of the contemporary problems that Black America faces including: incarceration, urban violence, homelessness, poverty and police brutality—specifically addressing the killings of Breonna Taylor, Philando Castille and Elijah McClain.
The song also talks about the incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal and Julius Jones. The topic of Reparations for Black Americans is raised in “Shelter.”
