Silence is what I felt like emitting after the video for Mick Jenkin’s “Dehydration” faded to black. In a world filled with lyrics–and accompanying videos–about money, cash, and hoes, we tend to forget the other side of what makes Rap music so tremendous–the real shit. Signed to Jonny Shipes’ CMG, Mick Jenkin’s is one of those artists who will stick around for a while. His lyricism, his artistry, and his ability to give listeners the feels are all second-to-none. Watch above as Mick deals with the seemingly constant threat of violence towards him and those he loves in “Dehydration.”
