Part of the changing face of hip-hop, MC and poet MICK JENKINS announces his first headline shows in Australia this summer. Already part of St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, the Alabama-born, Chicago-raised rapper will play Sydney’s The Basement on Thursday, February 2.
A 25-year-old on a mission, Jenkins follows in the footsteps of Kendrick Lamar, delivering politically conscious rap with important stories to tell.
2014's mixtape "The Water[s]" delivered a LP-length metaphor of water as life's truths catching the attention of critics and fans alike with Pitchfork complimenting its 'tight focus' and 'songcraft'.
This year's debut album "[T]he [H]ealing [C]omponent" continues to build Jenkin's reputation as a young wordsmith on the rise. Having collaborated with current superstars Joey Bada$$, Kaytranada, Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper in the past, Jenkins keeps the album forward-thinking with guest spots from acclaimed modern-jazz collective BADBADNOTGOOD and upcoming singer/producer theMIND.
