Mick Jenkins' new mixtape, Wave[s], is available for stream today. As a treat to fans, the Chicago native lets NPR premiere the stream. Wave[s], the follow up to Jenkins' fantastic 2014 project The Water[s], will officially hit the web next Friday (Aug. 21). Saba, ThemPeople's Sean Deaux and The Mind are the only artist featured on the nine-track offering. On the production side of things, a number of producers lend beats including Lee Bannon, ThemPeople, Stefan Pounce, Kaytranada, and Mulatto.

The 24-year old MC is carving out a space for himself in the game and his latest project is a good example of that. The opening track, "The Alchemy" and "P's & Q's" are two songs that Jenkins dropped prior to today's stream. Listen to the full project below and make sure to head over to iTunes next week to purchase your copy.

In support of Wave[s], Mick Jenkins will be hitting the road for a tour. The 31-city hike will kick off Aug. 29 at The Hi-Fi in Indianapolis and wrapup at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Oct. 5.
