Mick Jenkins announces his 2024 Thank You For Waiting world tour in support of his recent, critically-acclaimed LP The Patience, which was released in August by RBC Records/BMG. Jenkins will be joined by special guest TOBi on the tour.
Jenkins unveils a fresh music video for his track “MOP,” which serves as the closing song on The Patience. In a dimly lit room, Mick takes center stage with a solitary spotlight, where he delivers verses about his ongoing journey of personal development. The video effectively illustrates his evolution, initially showing Jenkins mopping the stage and later shifting to a scene where he watches from the audience, reflecting on his progress.
Through the process of creating The Patience, Jenkins deviated from his typically concept-driven method of making albums and experimented with a new approach entirely, something he believes has resulted in career-best music. “A lot of these new songs were made when I stopped focusing on a concept and just wrote spontaneously to the beat,” says the 32-year-old. “It gave me a new level of freedom.” And this freedom has resulted in an exhilarating looseness to Jenkins’ raps, infusing his always-barbed lyricism with a degree of free-spiritedness not seen in his catalog to date.
