I just want to say thank you, that’s all, okay.” Mensa responded, “God bless you. We appreciate you. 93 Boyz got you.”

Launched in August of this year, 93 Boyz is the Windy City’s first Black-owned cannabis company. While speaking with the tabloid website, Mensa expressed feeling good about serving his community, especially with the increase in gas prices. Vic also shared that the 93 Boyz’s goal is to always be performing acts of charity for inner city minorities.
“I feel phenomenal to be able to be the first Black-owned cannabis brand operating in the state of Illinois,” Mensa said in early August amid launching the brand. “At the same time, I recognize that excitement comes with much more work to do culturally. I feel the excitement.”
Mensa explained the brand’s concept in an interview with Block Club Chicago. “We’re a premium gas company, he said. “We’ve got our finger on the pulse as far as genetics go. There’s no flavor in the Illinois market. There’s no cool, like streetwear-akin brands like there are in Los Angeles and other markets. There’s nothing ill over here. Our intention was to bring in the really ill cannabis.”
