Wic Whitney is an Arkansas-bred, Chicago-based musician who melds swampy southern songwriter soul with quick-witted rap storytelling. His summer 2023, beautifully queer track “Matcha” lit up social media, garnering him over 150,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram. “Earl Grey” is a somber track about the struggle of feeling like that you're seeing yourself from outside of your body. “This song is about what it's like to have Depersonalization/Derealization and how it affects those around me, specifically my sister. It speaks on how I feel in the middle of the episodes and the amount of guilt I feel after reflecting on it,” Wic Whitney shares.
