Following the release of his latest project Wave[s], Mick Jenkins sits down with the folks at Fader to talk about hot dogs and house music in their latest segment of “Everything You Need to Know.” Learn everything you need to know about this Chicago-rapper, and don’t miss his upcoming shows with STWO this month.
9.14 – Houston @Warehouse Live
9.15 – Austin @ Parish
9.16 – Dallas @Trees
One of the main differences between Mick Jenkins’ latest project Wave[s] and his previous mixtape The Water[s] is more upbeat tempos. “Get Up Get Down” is Exhibit A. Instead of Mick placing himself in the video, he places three kids in Adidas tracksuits freestyle dancing (impressively) throughout the city. You’ve got shots of the Willis Tower (aka the Sears Tower) and the “L” train in the background, showing off Mick Jenkins’ powerful hometown, but the focus is on the kids and their carefree fun. Move your body.
Mick Jenkins will be moving through Texas next month with STWO. You can get tickets to his shows at the links below.
Houston, TX – 9/14
Austin, TX – 9/15
Dallas, TX – 9/16
Late last night, Chicago’s Mick Jenkins began letting us stream his newest project, Wave[s], via NPR’s First Listen.
