]]> mick jenkins jazzWe’ve been excited about Mick Jenkins ever since we stumbled upon last year’s Trees & TruthsLP. This release of “Jazz” a new single and video from the rapping Chicago monk is the best indication we’ve had so far that the upcoming The Water[s]is going to surpass what we’d previously hoped for. Trusting his percussive rhymes and authoritative statements to hold our attention, Mick barely raises his voice over a mostly-hushed instrumental, cutting cleanly through the bullshit and ails of the world to bring what he would call The Water. Likewise, the truly astounding video shows a young boy and his friend taking the water from those who sell it to the people for sky-high prices. Like revolutionaries, they give it out for free, water bottle in the air. Something about the vignette-nature of this video, or the way it pairs with the music, or the fact of its complex, wordless story, is special beyond compare to a video of recent memory.
