Summary

Trevor, Eugene, and David Kibuuka sit down with musician Vic Mensa for a conversation that moves easily between humor and hard truth. Drawing on his own experiences, Vic brings a raw, personal lens to topics like identity, privacy, and the strange contradictions of modern culture. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes a candid look at the gap between how we’re seen and who we actually are—and how much that perspective can shift depending on where you’re standing.
