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.

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

Moments Worth Listening 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.
