Mick Jenkins has announced a new album. The Illinois native will deliver fourth studio LP The Patience on August 18 via RBC/BMG.
The follow-up to 2021's Elephant in the Room, The Patience is previewed today by the J.I.D-assisted "Smoke Break-Dance." You can hear the two trade nimble verses on the Stoic-produced track alongside a video below, shot and directed by Andre Muir.
Ahead of a complete tracklist surfacing, Jenkins shared the following of The Patience:
The Patience: As best I can be, I am a person who does everything within his power to change his situation. I think with some level of consistency, that behavior inevitably leads you to a point where you have to wait. A point where the things that now need to happen to move you forward are no longer in your control. I see this as a period of time in one's journey, no matter the length, where the unseen things must take place; the muscles must tear and repair, the understanding of a concept coming to you in a moment completely devoid of artistic intention. It's through these moments where I've found myself being the most frustrated with patience.
And this body of work sounds like that frustration.
A recurring collaborator for Canadian artists, Jenkins has teamed up with LOONY, DijahSB and Nate Husser in recent years, following work with Kaytranada and BADBADNOTGOOD.
Pre-save The Patience.
