Mick Jenkins: "Cross Roads" (feat. Chance The Rapper & Vic Mensa)
Not too long ago, I was able to chill in the studio with production team On Gaud where we talked about all the material they had in the works and formally put me onto Mick Jenkins and his Trees & Truths mixtape. Since then, Mick has been on my radar. "Cross Roads" is a great record with a smooth vibe that will surely showcase Mick's talent to a wider audience thanks to Chance The Rapper & Vic Mensa's guest-appearance.
