High on the roster for burgeoning hip hop artists this year is Mick Jenkins. The young Chicago native has seen much success recently, as his latest mixtape, The Waters is pleasing both fans and critics. Mick has also garnered positive attention from other members, as he just finished touring with Method Man and Red Man on The Smoker’s Club tour and headlining his own tour with Pro Era’s Kirk Knight.

We can’t wait to see what else the young star has in store.
