It's been slightly over a month since we premiered Mick Jenkins stand-out mixtape The Water[s], but with water (and gingerale) being some of Mick's favorite topics, the theme continues today with "Rain." Mick connects with Kaytranada for a lulling beat which samples Missy Elliott's "The Rain," the original of which we included for you to watch below, just because we're nice like that.
Mick reflects on his surroundings and hard times that his fellow Chicagoians have endured, while the soothing production contrasts his lyrics. We would definitely like to see more collaborations from the Chicagao x Montreal natives going forward. You?

Quotable Lyrics
People moving purpose, the petty only get pity
Peep a proof of the purchase
I'm barely pushing them pennies
I've been doing it for free my nigga
Shout your Link card, I'm just out here tryna free my niggas
Cause this shit is getting old and they coming for your gold
