I’ve been listening to the music of today’s guest for over a decade now. I have vivid memories of telling anyone that would listen, some variation of “Mick Jenkins is the TRUTH”.

Ever since I first heard The Water(s), I was sold. So it’s such a full circle moment to welcome him on the show.

Mick Jenkins is an artist who’s matured both on and off the mic. On the mic, he’s chiselled away at his craft with each passing album, with recent highwater marks in 2023’s The Patience, and his brand new album with EMIL, A MURDER OF CROWS. Off the mic, he’s worked hard to maintain his autonomy and independence as an artist.

In this episode, we discuss how he’s evolved as an artist, the ways he and other fellow artists can seize their power and circumvent the fruitless industry structure, and the creative process behind the brilliantly dark new collaborative album with EMIL, A MURDER OF CROWS.
