Elephant In the Room

Mick Jenkins

A heavy, smoke-filled meditation on family and survival. Deep baritone flows over skeletal jazz loops and murky, late-night production.

Find on Amazon

It's like a jazz club at 3am where the rapper is telling you his life story and actually making you listen.

A heavy, unblinking look at personal and social tensions through a haze of late-night jazz.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on 'Truffles' feels like it's stumbling just enough to keep you off balance.
The sudden, stark intimacy of the vocal mix on 'Reflection' where every breath is audible.
The haunting, slowed-down soul loop that anchors the opening track's meditation on mortality.
