Ric Wilson is a 21-year-old self-proclaimed artist, performer, and prison abolitionist from the Southside of Chicago. Now, he is back with the second single, “We Love Us,” from his forthcoming Soul Bounce EP.
He states, “When I wrote ‘We Love Us,’ I was thinking of the African Diaspora. I was thinking about how black life is compared to stolen materialistic items every day. I was thinking about how we live in an anti-black world and are thought to hate ourselves and thought about how we love us and are still here through everything. Black is beautiful and powerful; not a curse but magic.”
