Elephant In The Room by Mick Jenkins

Elephant In The Room is a Hip-Hop album by Mick Jenkins, originally released in 2021.

About

A deep thinker with a deep voice, Mick Jenkins has always carried himself with a certain gravitas. On his third full-length album, the Chicagoan extends his signature thoughtfulness to the personal and the political, delving into his fraught relationship with his father on “Reflection” and into critical race theory (with help from spoken word poet Ayinde Cartman) on “Stiff Arm.” True to form, the beats still knock and his bars still blister, so that you’re almost—<i>almost</i>—lulled into a false sense of security on tracks like “Things You Could Die for If Doing While Black,” on which he asks such rhetorical questions as why guys like him can’t count on the police for protection.
