Wic Whitney turns music into a dialogue—raw, honest, and full of perspective. Whether layering his words over rich hip-hop beats or smooth R&B soul instrumentation, he delivers stories that connect. The Arkansas-born, Chicago-based rapper, singer, and songwriter captures the essence of deep conversations, translating emotions and experiences into sound.

With millions of streams and a growing presence, he continues to carve his own lane. His 2024 EPs Afternoon Reflections and Another Round [Nettwerk Music Group] further showcase his artistry. Since his breakout Tide Pools EP in 2017, he has steadily built momentum, following up with The Sunshine Couch EP, which featured the standout “Mama’s Song.” In 2023, “Matcha” racked up over 1.5 million Spotify streams and earned praise from Glide Magazine and beyond. He carried that momentum into 2024 with Afternoon Reflections and the standout track “Oolong.” Now, splitting time between Chicago and LA, he’s fine-tuning his upcoming 2025 LP, continuing to push his sound forward.
