Mick Jenkins will release his debut studio album The Healing Component on September 23rd, following acclaimed projects like The Water[s] and Wave[s]. Today, he stopped by Hot 97 for an interview with Ebro, Laura Stylez and Peter Rosenberg. Mick talks about his parents’ influence of neo-soul like Sade, Jill Scott and D’Angelo, getting into hip-hop through Phonte, Talib Kweli, Kanye West and Common, his thoughts on “mumble rap” and much more, along with spitting a freestyle at the end.
