[LISTEN] Mick Jenkins Reveals ‘Elephant In The Room’ Album

Kevin Benoit

Cinematic Music Group emcee, Mick Jenkins is back with his new single and a new album. The Mick Jenkins Elephant In The Room album will be released on October 29th.

Jenkins revealed the new single, “Contacts,” along with a Ren directed music video. At under 3 minutes the track showcases his lyrical prowess and reminds fans why they fell in love with him over the course of his previous releases.

Speaking about the new project, Alabama born but Chicago raised, Mick Jenkins said that Elephant in the Room is an attempt to address various unspoken personal and general truths and how they have affected him and those around him. “From my estranged relationship with my father to friendships that don’t feel the same anymore to the even more basic idea of acknowledging that I need help. We become accustomed to allowing none progressive qualities and truths to occupy so much space in our lives simply by ignoring them, or ignoring them despite them being right in our faces! I intend to face several of those dormant issues/topics head-ons in the hopes that others can, at the very least, identify with the spaces I’ve grown from.”

Mick released his second single from the project a couple weeks later. The track is titled, “Scottie Pippen”.
