Album Review: Elephant in the Room by Mick Jenkins

Great, Based on 3 Critics

Under The Radar - 80

On "Jazz," a song from Mick Jenkins' 2014 mixtape The Water[s], the emcee's poetic prowess is on display for all to see. He has always utilized his voice as his greatest weapon--that devastating baritone--but the way he masterfully contorts it on this particular track is chilling. From illuminating alliteration to his potent use of imagery, "Jazz" is Jenkins at his biggest, his most brazen, his most powerful.

Almost two years later and a global pandemic sandwiched in-between releases, the Chicago-based rap extraordinaire is back with his third LP, 'Elephant In The Room'.
