Before Vic Mensa Sold Bars, He Sold Eighths—Now He’s Doing Both
Chicago’s cannabis scene just got a serious upgrade, and it’s rolling in with style. Meet 93 Boyz, the city’s first Black-owned cannabis brand founded by rapper, activist, and all-around Chicago legend Vic Mensa. This isn’t just another celebrity weed brand slapped with a famous name—93 Boyz is here to serve up fire strains and give back to the community that made it all possible.
So, What’s in the Name?
93 Boyz takes its name from the 93 Octane premium gas—because, let’s be real. No one wants to smoke mid. Vic made it clear from the jump that this brand is about high standards, high quality, and well…….staying high.
“While plenty of cannabis companies claim to care about social equity, 93 Boyz actually puts in the work.”
It’s More Than Just Weed—It’s a Movement
Vic didn’t stop at making music and premium cannabis; he went ahead and founded the SaveMoneySaveLife Foundation. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill charity—it’s all about using art and entertainment to spark real change. One of their standout moves? Training over 11,000 young folks in Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods to be street medics. Think of it as turning the city’s youth into real-life superheroes, ready to tackle emergencies before the paramedics even get the call.
While plenty of cannabis companies claim to care about social equity, 93 Boyz actually puts in the work. With a mission to uplift communities hit hardest by the war on drugs, they reinvest profits into initiatives that make a real difference. Need proof? They literally pulled up to a Southside gas station and gave away $10,000 in free gas. Talk about a real gas pack.
Beyond giveaways, they’re creating jobs and opportunities in the cannabis space, proving that the plant that once got people locked up can now help set people free. Vic also launched the Books Before Bars program through 93 Boyz. The mission? Delivering stacks of books to prison libraries and directly to incarcerated individuals. From Gucci Mane’s autobiography to Audre Lorde’s powerful essays, he’s ensuring that even behind bars, minds can roam free. It’s like Oprah’s Book Club, but with a revolutionary twist.
Teaming up with his father, Vic took his efforts international by building a borehole in Ghana to provide clean water to over 200,000 people. In a world where some folks still struggle to get a clean sip, Vic’s out here making sure entire communities can quench their thirst without worry.
So while Vic Mensa might be known for his beats and bars, it’s clear his heart beats just as strongly for the people.
Okay, But How’s the Weed?
Let’s talk about the real reason you’re here: the strains. 93 Boyz is delivering a lineup of loud, with flavors that hit as hard as Vic’s bars. Here are some of the standouts:
Jump Start – A sativa boost for when you need to get stuff done, but still want to stay blissed out while doing it.
Peanut Butter Mintz – Imagine a peanut butter cup met a Thin Mint, fell in love, and had a baby made of pure indica relaxation.
Gelonade – A zesty, lemony hybrid that’s perfect for turning a meh day into a hell yeah day.
Rainbow Belts – Sweet, fruity, and euphoric—think of it as a one-way ticket to the clouds.
Gary Payton OG – Named after the NBA legend, this one’s got that elite balance of euphoria and relaxation, making it a GOAT-tier strain.
Final Thoughts: Should You Cop?
If you’re looking for top-tier cannabis with a cause, 93 Boyz is absolutely worth your dollars. It’s rare to see a brand that actually walks the walk when it comes to social equity and still delivers some of the best flower in the game.
As a former-Chicago local myself, I couldn’t be more proud to make my next smoke session fueled by 93 octane premium gas. Don’t take my word for it—give it a try. Your lungs and the community will thank you.
