Mick Jenkins - "The Artful Dodger" (prod. Kaytranada & THEMPeople)
If time has proven anything at all, it's that Mick Jenkins and Kaytranadamake for one of hip-hop's best current pairings. Perhaps you caught wind of this on either one of Mick's stud EPs or more recently on the lustful heater "Your Love" or shot-firing loosie "HeadAss." Well, today they step out once more with undeniable chemistry, sampling BADBADNOTGOOD on the slick new banger "The Artful Dodger."
The track -- featuring additional production from THEMPeoples -- finds Jenkins on a tear, breezing through stuttering, glitched-out wonder, laced with teetering synth lines and a hard-as-hell knock. It comes as the very first taste of the south-sider's soon-to-arrive debut album, The Healing Component, which is being readied for a 2016 release. You can hear Mick Jenkins and Kaytranada connect once more on "The Artful Dodger" below, just be sure to sit tight. There's plenty more on the way from Jenkins and Kay's 99.9% LP is just weeks away from landing.
