It’s no secret Chicago and Atlanta can have similar musical tastes. Sit Chief Keef down with Childish Gambino and he’ll say the two towns are alike. This “Peace Of Mind” joint exemplifies the fusion of an Outkast and Common (although this track is from all Chicago artists). MickJenkins employs many cultural influences – invites them in – instead of pidgeonholing his sound into a looped rap mess.
Stream his latest, The Water[s], on Soundcloud or buy it on iTunes. It’s fantastic and Joey Bada$$ features on the last track
