Back in November, Chicago emcee Mick Jenkins released the first installment in the ‘or more’ collection titled or more; the anxious, and today, we have been given the second chapter in the sought-after series. In the 8-track follow-up titled or more; the frustration, Mick Jenkins takes us in a totally different direction from the previous record with a grittier, more in-your-face delivery while verbalizing a range of emotions. Once again, the 26-year-old left us with a message giving his take on the EP, which he further states:
“#ormore is a project series involving musical ideas and concepts that are currently inspiring the album’s creation process. Carving out the better version of the good thing you have before you is an understated part of that process, chocked full of its own setbacks and speed bumps. I highlight these frustrations as an exhibit, or exploration, of some of the smaller waves in my pool of thoughts.”
With production from ThemPeople, HNIC, ENG Creation & MisterMojo, the lone feature came from Sean Deaux on the close-out joint Blessed Assurance which was one of several highlights throughout. All in all, there are so many layers to these projects, so it’s probably best to listen-in for yourself. Sit-back, relax and get lost in Mick Jenkins or more; the frustration EP below!
