When did Mick Jenkins start rocking dreads?
The music industry can be frustratingly unfair, and Mick Jenkins is a prime example of an artist who deserves more recognition. Despite being one of the most skilled rappers in the game, his name rarely comes up in “best rapper” discussions. Whether it’s industry politics or being overlooked for simply being great, Jenkins continues to carve his own lane.
Recently, the Chicago rapper dropped his latest project, type s**t, an album available exclusively through the EVEN platform. One of the standout tracks, “Publix,” has now received a visually compelling music video.
Powered by a smooth, jazz-influenced beat that exudes a relaxed, coffeehouse vibe, “Publix” sees Jenkins speaking candidly about industry frustrations. He touches on meaningless business meetings, behind-the-scenes haters, the overhyping of first-week sales, and the importance of staying true to himself.
Beyond his razor-sharp lyricism, Jenkins delivers the track with an effortless, confident cadence that makes every word hit harder. His unbothered tone paired with his intricate flow creates an undeniable synergy, proving once again why he’s one of the most underappreciated voices in hip-hop today.
Watch the “Publix” music video now and support type s**t by purchasing it through EVEN.
