Mick Jenkins has announced the release of a new album named “The Circus”, set for release on January 10.
The Chicago-based rapper shared the artwork for the seven-song project via social media, along with a new single called “Carefree.”
“The Circus” features an array of producers, including long-time West Coast producer Hit-Boy, as well as the likes of Black Milk, Da-P, DJFU & Beat Butcha. Dreamville’s dynamic duo, Earthgang, also make a guest appearance on a song titled “The Light.”
The new single is produced by Black Milk and features Jenkins’ signature lyrical storytelling and smooth vocal delivery over a laid-back instrumental.
Jenkins initially shared a teaser for the track on Twitter back in November last year. The post showed a video of him spinning around in a chair, rapping and singing along with the words.
Mick Jenkins is currently signed to Brooklyn label Cinematic Music Group – along with the likes of Joey Bada$$, Pro Era, T-Pain and Smoke DZA – and linked up with Earthgang as part of their Welcome To Mirrorland Tour last year.

We off to a great start musically!
I can’t be the only one here thinking “who”??
Fuck. Go away. You lame fucks always looking for attention
Believe it or not, there are artists you in your infinite musical knowledge have not heard about. And you not knowing about them doesn’t make them any less dope. In fact considering how stupid you sound it probably makes them doper.
Sounds like mick is back to his old self who could make good music, almost everything he has released since “the waters” been shit. This song is nice
Mick never fell off. i could see maybe not vibing with or understanding the overall themes of The Healing Component and Pieces of A Man but those were both sonically dope as fuck and Mick is a lyrical wordsmith. can’t wait to hear what he has to say on this
