Third EP for Mick Jenkins, rapper from Chicago. 18 minutes, 7 tracks, 11 producers. Rhythms are trap choices with some random jazzy overtones, these beatmakers don't do much more than boring generic productions: Hit-Boy brings out a light lo-fi beat with snare drum for the first track, while DJ Fu and Beat Butcha provide a beat trap decent for "I'm Convinced". Black Milk places an elegant piano in "Carefree", in an attempt to hide an overly generic snare drum. Jenkins bars add little to the songs: the rapper says practically nothing, delivering his lyrics with an almost spoken and slow style, even sung on the fifth song. The EarthGang duo, the only guest on the tape, doesn't add much to the project. Disappointing and tasteless effort, not recommended. 4.5/10.
