PUT THIS IN YOUR DEN for an ambitious concept album from one of today's rising hip hop stars. [Drink more water, duh.]

Available on black wax

Mick Jenkins is one of the most talented artists to emerge from the thriving Chicago hip-hop scene in recent years. Before Jenkins released his debut album The Healing Component, the gifted lyricist built a strong buzz online with a series of acclaimed mixtapes. Now, one of those collections is back on vinyl, with this 2xLP vinyl pressing of The Water[s].

Originally released in 2014, The Water[s] features appearances from Joey Bada$$ and Noname, plus production from Statik Selektah, Kirk Knight, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, DJ Dahi, and many more. XXL called the project an “indisputable success”, declaring Jenkins “a formidable opponent to some of hip-hop’s most highly regarded MCs”.
